Personally I have experienced my own challenges mentally, physically and emotionally. Just like many people, I struggled with managing my emotions. I was overwhelmed and stressed out! I was trying to juggle too may things. I had a hard time creating boundaries and asking for help when I needed it.
During this time my body was constantly sending me messages.........
For me, those messages showed up in my skin! I battled horrible bouts of eczema and dermatitis from head to toe. Then I began experiencing food intolerances that would make my face swell up like a balloon! It got so red it looked like someone took a blow torch to my face! As it healed, I would experience unfathomable itching and dry skin. My skin was angry, irritated and frustrated! My body was trying to get my attention!
My body also started screaming at me in the form of a uterine fibroid the size of a softball! This created frequent urination, heavy prolonged periods, anemia, feeling exhausted, and at times the pain would get so extreme it would leave me curled up on the floor contemplating a call to 911! Again, my body was trying to send me a message!
In 2008 my family got a scare that would rock our world, my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive growing cancer in his thyroid! His body had been sending him messages for years in the form of joint pain, digestive issues, viruses, etc. Now it was screaming! I knew that it was time to take radical responsibility for our own health!
Once we made the shift, we began to thrive physically, mentally and emotionally!
