Go Thru

Go Thru

“Sometimes, the only way out is thru”.

I heard someone say that the other day and it really stuck with me. I know sometimes we all go through our lives with moments when we feel stuck. Whatever the situation, it just seems like it has taken us hostage. We find ourselves trying to avoid it, get around it, sweep it under the rug but it seems to never go away. The lesson I found is that you have to go thru it. Face whatever the brick wall is and blast thru it. Come face to face with it, confront it, and put it to rest.

I recently took a stress test and found that often times our bodies will hold on to a traumatic experience. It’s part of our body memory and often times we don’t even know what the experience was that put our body into stress. Our brain does not differentiate between experiences of stress whether it be a car accident or a heart break…it just registers as stress and a memory is formed. Often times, turning into some kind of dis-ease in our bodies due to stress. It manifests and comes out like not being able to sleep, ulcers, heart attacks, high blood pressure etc. In my case, I found out that my body stays in “flight or fight” mode due to a traumatic car accident I was in and so has lead to my lack of being able to have a full night’s sleep at night and to totally be able to relax at 100%. Luckily for me and thanks to an amazing doctor I found, I caught it in time and am able to start to heal the process. Had I not had the stress test and consultation with Dr. Berg, I could have ended up having a heart attack down the road from the amount of stress my body was carrying that I did not even know about. So even if we can fool ourselves and others into thinking we have the “stressor” under control, we can never fool our bodies. And if we do not face it and take care of it, it could eventually literally kill you.

The reason I mention this is because, we cannot let the things in our lives that stress us out take control of us. We just have to rip the band-aid off and deal with it. Yes, it is going to sting at first but guess what? We get over it…and we survive. It’s not worth holding onto the stress. Life is too short and there is too much you still need to do in your life to let the stress in your life hold you hostage. You have children to love, family to care for, a career to succeed in, a mate to cherish, a community to support and a world to explore!!!

I challenge you today to “GO THRU” it. Whatever your Goliath is…face it today. Slay your dragon or dragons and put it to rest. You have your BEST life to live and it’s time to drop the baggage and be free. And I mean truly let it go, don’t peel the band-aid then go back and put it back on again. Truly, let it go!! And don’t ever look back on it. The past is the past, all we have is this moment. The “present” is a present. A precious gift we receive every day.

TODAY move lighter on your feet, ease your mind and relieve your heart. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it!
