Negative Emotions Are Like
Energy Drinks For Endoegative.
Do you find yourself constantly
stressing about things that
haven't
even occurred yet?
Hi, everyone, and welcome to
another episode of tea time with
Amanda and on today's episode,
we're going to discuss how
negative emotions are like
energy drinks to endo and how
you can overcome them. Do you
find yourself stressing out over
pains that haven't even happened
yet? Do you find yourself
worrying about surgery that
hasn't even been brought up by
doctors yet? Or do you
constantly obsess over new
symptoms and Web MD is now your
very best friend?
If the answer is "YES"
to those then then sister you're
not alone. All too often we find
ourselves freaking out over the
smallest things afraid of what
hasn't even happened yet which
causes us to stress out and
worry
But what you don't realize is
that you
are actually manifesting that
pain. Amanda, I don't believe in
that.
Well, let's just think about
this.
What happens if you're
constantly saying, I'm sick? You
will eventually find yourself
sick. Am I right? Well, a few
years ago, I was working with a
client named Sarah and she was a
brilliant designer when when it
came to her job, but she was a
complete mess when it came to
herself. She was what we would
call a worrier. Other other
people would call her a
hypochondriac. So Sarah would
hear something on TV, and if she
had some or all of those
symptoms, therefore she had that
sickness. Sarah was diagnosed
with stage four endometriosis
and pcls when she was 27 years
old, and she was started to
starve it out. And so she wasn't
eating because in her mind, if
she didn't eat, she wouldn't
have a flare up. So, when her
pain started to get worse and
move started to move to other
areas of her body, she started
to just completely freak out.
She was so bad that she started
thinking that she had four
different types of cancer. When
it was simply an endo flare up
after eating some ice cream.
I worked with Sarah for over two
years and
after six months of working with
her in the beginning, we were
able to get her eating regularly
in a
well balanced diet and
actually get her moving on a
consistent basis. And instead of
going straight to Web MD to
check her symptoms, she would
call me and we would go over
just
step by step like what you ate,
when you do
this. How you this, What
happened... Blah, blah, blah
blah. And eventually she would
calm down and realize like,
And she was able to have
healthier relationships, not
okay, I can move on. I'm good.
Thank you so much for helping
me. So she was feeling like she
would start to just calm down
and go on with her day. Sara had
so many negative emotions
associated with endo that she
was borderline PTSD from that
disease. But we were able to g
t her mindset going in a more po
itive direction.
only with other people, but most
importantly with herself. So you
see, we see this all the time. I
have so much pain when I go
number two. Oh my gosh, is endo
my bowels? Holy crap! What if I
have endo on my bowels? I can't
live like this. Does that sound
familiar? When you're constantly
in your head, you are inviting
those negative things into your
life. So here are three ways
that you can overcome those
negative emotions. One, don't
blow things out of proportion by
going over them time and again
in your mind, the more you
stress out
about it,
the more you're inviting it in.
By calming down and letting
things go will help you lower
your stress levels, which means
that you'll be able to have a
clearer head, which also means
that you'll feel much better and
your loved ones will enjoy being
around you because you're not
constantly complaining about
something that you don't have or
that you can't control. Number
two, try to be reasonable.
Accept that bad feelings are
occasionally unavoidable and
think of ways that you can make
yourself feel better. Listen We
are all human. And let's face
it, we're all going to, we're
not going to feel good every
single day, we're going to be in
a bad mood, we're going to be
sad, we're going to be angry. We
might even be hurting longer
than what we want, but try to be
reasonable. It's not the end of
the world. This just means that
that it's time to take a minute
and breathe. This means that
you'll be able to pick out and
realize that you're not Wonder
Woman and you are beating
yourself up making yourself feel
way worse. And as we all know
that stress causes flare ups. By
finding ways to make yourself
feel better, you'll be able to
identify the bad feelings. And
that means that you'll be able
to accept those feelings and
move on with your day instead of
curled up in a ball, making
yourself feel even worse than
you were already feeling. Number
three, relax, use pleasant
activities like reading,
writing, doing some artwork,
yoga, getting a massage, going
for a walk or talking to a
friend. being too high strung
will cause more anxiety and
depression that can be
controlled. As, as we've said
before, time and time again,
that causes stress, which causes
flare ups. And by relaxing,
you're using these techniques so
that you are opening your life
in your mind up to greater
possibilities. This means that
you'll be able to actually be
able to get out of bed in the
morning reduced brain fog,
fatigue, headaches
and those flare ups.
So just relax or like
my best friend Martha used to
say, "CHILLAX", your brain and
your health will thank you. So
your mind is your worst enemy.
When you Surrender to it. That
negativity wins and so does your
endo. So let's review. One,
don't blow things out of
proportion by going over them
time and again in your mind.
Number two, try to be reasonable
except that bad feelings are
occasionally unavoidable and
think of ways to make yourself
feel better. And three, just
relax. Use pleasant activities
like reading, walking, getting a
massage or talking to a friend
to help you. chillax. So, if you
