During my twenties while studying at the University and working more than 8 hours. My body used to show certain stress-related symptoms. I remember going to a guard because I had frequent stomach pain, and the doctor gave me pills for gastritis, without asking me what my life was like.
I understood very well that something was happening in my body because I was not managing my emotions well or what I was feeling about the life I was leading.
This continued like this until I was in my thirties, at which point I felt so bad that I went back to consult with another specialist, with a systemic view, who prevented me from taking a week’s break, administered medication for my stomach and to make me sleep well, in addition to Recommend me a healthy diet accordingly.
I realized at that moment the importance of learning to pause, although I didn’t do it until I was in my late thirties.
Living stressful situations is not the problem, if we know how to handle ourselves in those environments, the problem begins when our body is affected by it.
Some common symptoms of stress are:
-
trouble sleeping
-
Gastric discomfort, such as nausea, gastritis, ulcers
-
constipation or diarrhea
-
chest pain
-
muscle tension
-
lack of energy
-
sexual problems
-
Headaches
-
contractures
-
extreme tiredness
-
memory loss
-
depression
What is behind some of these symptoms?
I will give you some examples of the ones I frequently see in client consultations and even some of the ones that I myself faced and resolved when I discovered them:
Digestive problems:
The meaning of the biological digestive system is acceptance. It has to do with the conflict that accepting certain things generates in us and how we experience that situation.
Some emotions are fear, anguish, resentment, constant complaint.
It is common in people who also find it difficult to digest new ideas, experiences, situations or people.
It’s hard to digest and accept what doesn’t come from you, from your own control.
How to get out of that pattern: first it is good to see in your family tree if that behavior is similar to that of someone in your family. We may have learned it from a parent.
Then “Accept” everyone with love, accept the differences and particularities. Be attentive to thoughts like: “it’s not fair”, “it’s not right”, “he’s an idiot”, etc. next, push the value judgment aside.
Addictions:
When you are not able to face a situation. Need for mom’s company to face a situation.
Alcoholism is the desire to flee from affective physical responsibilities for fear of being hurt again. Escape from oneself Fear.
How to get out of it: Discovering how valuable we are. Deciding to love each other
Aphonia:
It occurs in a person who has lost his voice.
It is an emotional block that occurs after an affective shock that shakes the sensitivity of the person, who then makes an effort to speak. This effort creates anguish and emptiness. The sounds fade.
What does your heart really want to say? You don’t have to talk to be loved and accepted.
Headache:
When we have conflicts and we put them aside. We minimize. We got used to it and took an aspirin.
irritable bowel:
People afraid to relax, insecure. Inability to let go, let what is no longer useful flow and let events flow.
You have to work on feeling safe.
Heart:
Devaluation for not being able to defend my territory.
Those with heart problems have closed themselves off from intimacy and love. They hardened their hearts. They don’t listen to it. Lack of self love.
Revalue the heartbeat.
Nervous breakdown:
egocentrism. Fear, anguish, effort, worry. Distrust in the process of life.
Change the mental model: I am on an endless journey through eternity and I have time to spare. I communicate with the heart. Everything’s fine.
Neck Pain:
Disagreement between what I think and what I do.
I think one thing but with my hands I do another.
Each sample has information behind it to investigate and help us get to know each other. I invite you to review if there is something you can learn to know about yourself so that it begins to improve your life. And do not stop consulting with the doctor when you have symptoms.
When we don’t consciously know each other, we can help each other and prevent bigger problems.
