Look after yourself and your body will take care of everything else.

Stress creates distortion that stops all normal processes. You can reverse out of this easily by stopping and looking after yourself . . .

Living in a panic setting can disrupt digestion.  If we get into a situation (or think we do) where we need to survive, the different ‘fight or flight’ body mode clicks in.  This is a very primitive inbuilt survival setting.  When in this mode we are ready to stand and fight – or run away – and all our usual body functions are geared to support this and NOT digesting. 

This means all anxieties/unresolved stuff/disputes that are under the surface – a lot of people live like this all their lives – ‘is he angry with me?’/‘is she going to leave me/’ ‘am I good enough?” /’does my mother really want me?’ etc etc.

(In an emergency there is no point in processing food; all our blood and energy needs to be out in the muscles to either flee or stand and sort out the problem). So, if we LIVE in this place as a moderated crisis, or are somehow stuck in here as though it were dangerous – we cannot expect the best out of our eating and our gut to support us well.  It’s only when we’re back in a peaceful place that we can truly nourish ourselves

This Leads onto - “Stress”

For some of us, the body does not turn this panic off – it is permanently ready for battle.  Living or working in an environment that does not respect you is good way to carve holes in your health.
