Exterior Stresses Create Internal Imbalances

Exterior Stresses Create Internal Imbalances,
by Desiree Leigh, Wake Up to Live
For a moment, think about a modern day rubber wheel on a vehicle. When you buy a brand new car or truck, you are pretty sure, at the time of purchase, that the tires will be balanced. Right!

Now, once you get behind the steering wheel of your beautiful new vehicle and begin driving over the uneven pavement, perhaps some stones, a curb or two (hopefully not that one!), a piece of wood, whatever it may be, the tire is still balanced with the air pressure within it. Right? Yes.

Although, the tire is balanced, it endures the stresses of constant imbalances, such as the stones or the uneven pavement I mentioned. It may even endure the stresses well when driving into a snow bank or two (yikes!). The rubber tires, looking at an external view, fluctuate. They are balanced with the air pressure within. On the outside, we can visually see that things look different - perhaps oddly shaped at times depending where you're parked, on an incline or a decline, what hole or bank you drove into (another yikes!), whatever the case may be. The tires are still balanced.

Over time, though, the once balanced rubber wheels driven out of the parking lot, become imbalanced due to these external fluctuations and stresses. It's not noticeable immediately, but if left without 'checking in' you may end up with a problem - a flat tire, or even a bigger problem, a collision if you were driving at a high speed on a busy highway.

When you responsibly check in you would realize that the pressure, within the tires, occasionally changes when you experience external fluctuations caused by stresses, and sometimes you need to add air to balance them or maybe even repair a small leak.

What does this all mean? We are always going to fluctuate in our energy balances due to the external stresses we go through. There is a continual ebb and flow to life and life's experiences. Everything is constantly in motion. What is most important is to check in regularly and adjust your internal energy accordingly to create harmony. When you don't check in to your internal energy, recognizing your imbalances, discordance is assured. And when discordance occurs and remains within your system, exhaustion, dis-ease, mental or emotional illness, skin disorders, or organ failure can occur.

Check in regularly to continually create harmony and great health!

Throw Out Balance and Replace it With This

On the internet running through blog, Facebook, and IG posts or videos, there is always a wave of the same concepts of discussion each week. One person/business throws out an idea to talk about that week, and then many others (to figure out what they can discuss, post, or video that week) grab onto someone else's topic and put another spin on it. That's it. If you pay close attention to the posts, you will see what I am talking about. Take a look at the weekly discussions and see the uniformity in the topics of discussion, including the quotes that are posted. Perhaps it is coincidental. Perhaps it is collective energetic thought that brings this about. But, in most cases, I'm thinking it may be more about "What do I talk about this week?" and then grab an idea from someone else.

It is difficult to find weekly, let alone daily, topics to discuss and, at the same time, give good value to your audience. I get that. I've done the same thing. I'm guilty, but…

5 Strategies to Support Trauma Survivors

TRAUMA and ISOLATION

There is no single treatment for complex trauma such as PTSD or Complex PTSD, but the cornerstone of treatment is building a collaborative working relationship with the survivor. They need to restore safety and trust in human connection. The major drawbacks to healing from chronic trauma and C-PTSD is isolation. If individuals fear coming forward (due to stigma, minimization of the events, delayed reporting, an oppressive society, self-shame or public shaming) and how they may react to their environment, they are left to figure things out on their own. There are many individuals that never receive formal treatment and, instead, invest in their own methods by trial-and-error. I did because there was nothing out there. Also, anytime I'd go to the doctors office, it was said that "It was all in my head." Back then in the 80's and 90's and early 2000's, no one could see the enduring effects of chronic childhood abuse, repeated sexual assaults…

How My Coach Encouraged Sexual Healing

Why don't professionals talk about the importance of sexual healing for women and men that have been sexually abused as children and/or sexually assaulted? Its funny how many of us in society quickly come to the conclusion that all is well when we see these violated individuals appear to be coping and functioning well on a day to day basis. We talk about and do the research regarding the relationship between mental health and abuse a lot, speaking of depression and anxiety, but in much of the academic research publications, there is little to read about the process of sexual healing or how sexual abuse/assault has affected a woman's sexuality. I am not taking away the importance of mental health. However, why are we (e.g. health care professionals, researchers, and society) still afraid to talk about healthy sex and sexuality? It is a part of our mental and emotional health. How can we perceive that a woman's sexuality is in tact after chronic childhood sexual abuse, sexu…
