No matter what you are seeking in life, where you place your energy is what will be returned to you. Your body, mind, and soul are likely delivering an uncomfortable message to you. That feeling of discomfort is likely a necessary wake-up call, not a reason for us to manifest more stress, anxiety, and trauma.
Most of us prefer to avoid confrontational moments but doesn't mean that they aren't necessary. Discomfort is a sign that we need a change. Whether it's received loudly or has been a slow build, whenever it becomes more and more prevalent, the way we've always handled, is likely not going to serve you for the long-term solution.
When you're identifying solutions, remember that the label and emotion you give to your situation carries value. If you say, "I'm so stressed out." You will find ways to be more stressed and you will feed into that. If you say, "I have to figure this out." You will find ways to be proactive and find solutions.
70% of the US population is considered overweight by BMI. The problem is not only because junk food is readily available. The problem is in our approach on how we assess challenges. By focusing on the stress, we also focus on finding a stress response. (food, alcohol, drugs, avoidance)
