Emotional and Physical Go Hand in Hand
Feeling lost for so long, not understanding why or where to even begin to search for answers can leave one empty, sad and tired. Your physical body takes a beating when your mental and emotional body is fighting for their life. Studies show that negative emotions can lower our immune system, allowing for disease and sickness to prey on our physical bodies. We are aware that if we are physically active, our emotional well being benefits, I myself can attest to this, I think we all can. I can also bear witness that being emotionally unhealthy can lead to chronic diseases, I, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost 3 years ago. One of the most negative emotional points in my life. My marriage was over, I had moved into a house that I wasn't comfortable in, I was dating someone who I knew wasn't right for me (fear of being alone), I dug myself a hole and wouldn't let anyone in. From the outside, I looked fine, yet on the inside, I was depressed, scared and tormented by my own self deprecation.
Finding your way in life takes all of your body being in shape. Recently, as I've expressed in previous posts, I've come to recognize my fear of abandonment and my inner core belief of being a failure. Fighting my way out of this hole will take its toll on my physical body if I am not mindful of my needs. I must take this time to concentrate on what my physical needs are as well as my emotional, mental and spiritual needs.
My diet is changing, my caffeine intake has been reduced (yes, you know I'm serious about healing myself when I freely choose to cut back on my beloved coffee), my carbs are being reduced back to 50 per day, no more red meat or bacon (again, you know this just got real), choosing to put only healthy food into this body. I'm exercising daily, going to bed early, taking vitamins and minerals as needed and making sure I make time to mediate and pray every morning.
I have found what I believe to be, the core of what has held me back from my true potential, my God given purpose and my gift to love and live as I am meant to. I will fight my way out of this darkness and into the life I have always dreamt of. Thank God for opening my heart to what I needed to see in me. Thank God for J who held me so safely that I was able to be broken open to reveal the gem inside. Love isn't easy but it's worth it.
