Express Yourself
Sometimes, all you need to do to blow off steam is to talk about whats bugging you. The trick is finding a good audience, A friend, partner, or relative who will listen without offering advice or trying to fix your problem in the ideal, You might even be supprise to discover how you really feel about what’s causing you stress. Sometime putting things into words finally makes them clear.
If you don’t have a good listener or if you just don’t feel comfortable venting your problems out loud, try keeping a journal. A daily entry (it doesn’t have to be long) in which you expound upon your day and felt about it can be great therapy. Like talking , sometimes writing about a problem can finally put it in perspective , and solutions will become apparent.
When Life Is a Real Pain in the Neck
Stress isn’t the only way your lifestyle can damage your body. Almost any activity you do frequently , whether typing at a computer , loading packages onto a truck, carrying around an infant , or sitting all day in horrendously long meetings, will wear on your system. May be you love your job, your hobby, your lifestyle, but your body awareness will bring these work –related and lifestyle-related bad habits to light.
Once more with Emotion
One of the worse things you can do to your body and yourself –esteem is to deny your emotions. What do emotions have to do with your body? Absolutely everything. When you repress your anger or sadness or disappointment, those feelings don’t just disappear. They lodge in your body and slowly take their toll , tying muscles in knots, congesting the passage of blood and nutrients, blocking the flow of the life force.
How can you let your emotions out?
There are many ways, including therapy and exercise , but bodywork is one of the best. When the body is manipulated in such away that its physical processes are set free and circulation is enhanced , emotion buried in the body are also released.
Once you’ve reacquainted yourself with your body , you can begin or(continue) the process of intergrating your body , your mind , and your spirit. Our society teaches us , in many subtle ways , that body and mind are separate. Yet common sense reveals that they are , indeed , one: a body –mind. Body and mind can’t be separated, and everything that affects one affects the other
So you don’t really have a body and then a mind or a mind then a body. You have a body-mind .Learning to live in your body –mind means you acknowledging the effects of everything you do , feel, and experience on your physical health. You’ll feel the way you look , you’ll love the way you feel, and you’ll become more whole. You’ll literally be “pulling yourself together,” and the result is sure to be something wonderfull.
