GONE baby GONE!

Yesterday I posted about a vulnerable place of my journey....the impact on stress in my life at a certain point.....and I think as humans we believe stress is inevitable, and the toll, the price we pay to be human.....and I have discovered that that is not true....stress exists, in everybody's lives.....that is true.....BUT.....it is in the response or the management of it where the true power and magic lies.....At the end of my marriage I was living under immense weight and stress......my hair was falling out....like in clumps......I wasn't sleeping well......or too much.....I had begun to put on weight, and could not figure out how to get it to come off....my anxiety and fear was off the charts.....and out of the blue I begun to have ocular migraines....terrifying and awful........and I was grinding my teeth at night so fiercely I had to wear a night guard.....and I even found I was doing it during the day......my mood was shit....for lack of a better word.....I was on edge, and just generally unhappy .......I just felt awful from head to toe......and at the time I did not realize.....that it was the price I was paying for not managing the stress, and just letting it pile on....and in all fairness and grace to the Jenn of then.....she was carrying a huge load....and truly doing the best she could.....but now that I live in the contrast of that, I truly shudder to think what would have happened if another 5 years went on.....or 10.....because now that is all GONE baby GONE:) I sleep great, I no longer grind my teeth which I had done for DECADES, my ocular migraines are GONE, I was having 5-8 a month at one point, I have lost and maintained my weight for 4 years, my anxiety and panic is gone.....just ALL gone.....and just wow.....now does that mean I do not have stress in my life.....well.....not by a long shot;-) my life is still plenty stressful, rest assured:) BUT it is in the management of it where our power lies....front loading my day to pour into myself.....making sure my well is FULL and will enable me to power through whatever comes my way as the day unfolds...making taking care of myself a #1 priority amid the rest of the folks I care for in a day.....making those things non negotiable.....making the work I do in my mindset, and stress management paramount and not allowing it to run rampant....when I think that my neurological system was being impacted by stress, migraines! And now they are gone, just WOW!!!!!!! That shows the power of stress,,....and perhaps that is the root of so many of our ailments....health problems showing up as a result of stress and emotional baggage.....and trying to free ourselves of that is the work to to do......so worthwhile.....to find the gifts of that......and besides it feeling powerful and life changing after having lived it, it also drives my PASSION, my PASSION in helping other people get stuff GONE!!!!!!!! Finally once and for all....I spent so much energy trying to conquer my teeth grinding issue....I tried a biofeedback headband.....countless mouth guards.....and if I did not sleep with the mouth guards my jaw would feel like somebody pounded it with a hammer......and about a year or so back I was due for a new mouth guard so I stopped using the other one till I could get one.....and soon I realized that I did not need it.....did not wake with jaw pain....it was just gone.....and so maybe people are sick of it, or my talking about it lol:) But too bad;-) I won't ever stop attempting to give this gift I have found away, to somebody else that needs it too:) It is too precious to not try and give away! Hit me up if you feel stress is weighing you down and let's get it gone:) Happy Friday:)
