Stress⊠everyone is talking about stress.
It is the most frequently used term describing how they feel.
So what is it?
Why do we feel stressed?
Lifestyle Changes: who needs them... to be stress free ..we do! We can't continue to do the same repetitive action and expect a different outcome. We are addicted to stress....This can be changed .....
Why? Because the world has an addiction to stress, to the stress hormone cortisol and the fight/flight response. Stress is a fear response, a chemical reaction in the body driven by beliefs and learned responses to what we see, feel, hear. The mind reflects what is believed of your situation, it destroys any sense of true Joy in life. Subconsciously and unconsciously we do it to ourselves. We are creating our life experience each moment.
We, each individual being, are 100% responsible for how our own life unfolds. Its your own Souls opportunity to experience a higher understanding and greater self awareness. To experience that real Pure Joy of life.
We are creating our reality by what we think and do in each moment. It's our truth, but not THE TRUTH of âlifeâ.
Our health, our mental well-being, our attitude to life and what we receive from life, is entirely up to each individual, as only your soul lives in your vehicle.
Only my soul exists in this body/mind house. So it's up to me to make the best experiences of life. Only a more conscious choice, being fully present, can change how I live. It supports the best life.
We can't change something if there is no awareness of a hurtful belief being presence. But its hidden influence in the subconscious is directly affecting how the mind responds in any given situation. We often see the effect but wonder why this is happening to us?
Consciously choosing how we live, means we are present and paying attention. Recognising when the mind is behaving in an agitated, fearful or resentful state.
When Self awareness expands, It allows the intelligent instrument of consciousness within us, to make the changes supporting better life choices, of what is best for health and wellness in your body, living well.
Experiences of joy arise, contentment and kindness come to the fore.
Paying attention to the physical fuel that is put into the vehicle is as equally important as what mental fuel you keep consuming. Mental attitudes, mental judgments, mental approach to change, or resistance to paying attention, all have a chemical effect in the body.
Hormonal health- stress triggers.
How do we reduce the toxic stress response seen as high cortisol levels, adrenal fatigue, low oxygen levels in the blood, and vagus nerve imbalances as well as retention of toxic fluids?
One way is to begin to recognise that addiction to repetitive thinking in old ways of the past or worrying about future situations are fear based. Fear of failure to get a wanted result feeds stressful responses. Fear of lack- It's habitual- a learned way of living through expectation, attachment to outcomes wanted. We live the very fear we have in the mind. We live our thinkingâŠ
Stress is the effect of unfulfilled expectations. It is the chemistry of fear, based in beliefs held in the systems and different cellular structures, of not getting what you âthoughtâ you wanted or felt you deserved. Measuring your worth against someone or some situation is a stress response. It feeds itself on that toxic chemistry from your thinking. The thoughts of frustration, and irritation at someone or some situation triggers the chemistry to meet the demands needed by the cell's memory. You feel the effects and it makes you awful, miserable and even angry or anxious. It is that fear of unfulfilled expectations that is happening over and over. Your reactiveness to external situations is doing it to your own body/mind.
You are not this limitation of a body. You are that beautiful soul, your true self is that highest power within you. The life force energy that power of Life, is the real you. Tapping into that magnificent power source opens a whole new level of self awareness.
Soul you are âThe SelfââŠthat light of awareness is present with every breath, it is the power behind everything, your breath, your heartbeat, whether you open or shut your eyes.
Having this awareness gives us the power necessary to change what is debilitating or stiffening the condition of your body and mind. We are not powerless to change our situation or how we live, actually far from it.
All beings have that inner Self, a source of infinite power of consciousness. Empower your self understanding, explore your self awareness.
To live truly free, human beings are being guided to practice self examination, self respect and recognition of that powerful beautiful joyous, truly liberating awareness of your true Self. Letting go of your attachment to what the body holds in the cellular memory. You are far greater than just your physical form. Freedom comes with discipline of the mind.
Clear out the toxic beliefs, and negative traps of minds imaginings and fantasies, its likes or dislikes rising from judgements. Cleaning out the body will clear the mind's thinking. Being present and discipline of focus creates clarity and calmness, by purifying your energies physically, mentally and spiritually.
My practices and approach to life's energies. Is recognition that everything is ever changing in this worldly existence. But my true Self is the source, pure light, pure knowledge, unchangeable, steady, unconditional, free, untarnished, unlimited, pure love, it is complete, universal consciousness.
I am always refreshing my resolution of being THAT expression of life, through this body/mind,spirit. My resolve is in âBEINGâ that Joy of life, deeply content, complete, free.
Beyond natural therapies and herbal remedies, Iâve embraced several lifestyle changes over the years, that have made a significant difference: How I perceive my body, my mind and the journey of this magnificent opportunity for my Soul.
Learning/practicing true non attachment to the body is a challenge for the mind. Especially after any body trauma. Respecting qualities of balance, clarity, purity, openness to receiving, absorbing all that nourishes me on all levels, my focus has been on clarity, calmness, balance and purity of being, that inner strength that comes with self awareness, faith in Self and peace of mind. I experience such gentleness and the true powerful tenderness of the pure heart đ. My life is the joy filled expression of my true self.
It requires commitment of practice and more practice being true to âThatâ inner Highest Pure One, universal consciousness.
It requires steadfastness in remembering to be present and Discipline of the mind's focus.
1. Balanced Diet -my focus on nourishing my body with whole foods, filling my bowl with vegetables, lean proteins, lots of fish, healthy fats. Incorporating phytoestrogen-rich foods, like flaxseed meal and soy, has made a noticeable difference. The latter relate to the female hormonal balance. Remember the body doesn't need as much food as your mind reflects in its thinking. Memory says it's never enough. No satisfaction, never content. Memories fears emptiness, it's a sense of lack.
2. Regular Exercise- I strive for a blend of cardio, a little strength training, and lots of flexibility exercises. Regular movement not only lightens my mood but also helps manage weightâboth essential for reducing cortisol-stress hormonal responces
3. Stress Management- I make space to give myself time for myself, remembering the âqualitiesâ are important in transforming how I live âŠ..whether itâs through yoga, meditation, connecting with nature, going bush, gardening or simply enjoying a quiet moment, just me time, a space of no speaking or talking while acknowledging a presence of quietude, respectfulness, patience, non attachment and a deep gentleness. These relaxation techniques have lowered my stress levels, lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and brought calm to my daily routines.
These practices become so important when situations beyond our doing creates the necessity of being non-attached to the dramas of life throws up, remaining flexible, and the clarity to calmly navigate through unanticipated changes. Living stress free must be a conscious choice.
The power of this choice and transition is only in the ânow momentâ.
The moment the mind wanders around in past thinking or into the future imaginings, those what ifâs, or want for something you feel is lacking-then cortisol levels increase, oxygen levels reduce, stress feelings and reactions become stronger and stronger. Fatigue, frustration and anger set in. All based in fear of failure to get what your body memories want, when they want it. It is chemically drivenâŠthey, (memories based in your belief systems) fear not getting the familiar chemicals they exist on. This is the basis of all addictive behavioursâŠwanting the sweet things, lollies, cakes, alcohol, carbohydrates, drugs, the addiction to the endorphins or chemistry to get âthat pleasure feeling, the adrenalin hit from risky behaviours. The actions of the adrenalin ju**ie, is based in fear of failure to get what your body memories want, when they want it. It is chemically driven. It's never enough so more and more extreme behaviours eventuate. There is no regard for that divine power of life existent in the body/mind level of action. The person's mind is just a reflection tool. It reflects the beliefs/memories in the cellular structures. It is the consciousness in every cell just reflecting what the person has, as their body is full of beliefs/perceptions and impressions from the past. Past family generations, early childhood experiences, past life experiences, and from past eras.
Part of my practice is keeping a firm control of the mind, not letting it run undisciplined in all directions. I keep my mind in the present, focusing only on what is necessary now and stopping it, imagining things and then becoming disillusioned, when things don't happen, as wanted. There can be no sense of stability, calmness or confidence in one's self when an undisciplined mind is running the show. There is no joy, no happiness in this kind of life experience.
