Hello ,
A discussion about adrenal fatigue and kidney health are amongst the new additions to our library this month. Both are incredibly important and usually ignored until it gets out of hand. The warning signs are like a dripping tap that turns into a
running tap and you actively ignore it until your water bill comes.
The magnitude of stress related illness keeps mounting and with the amount of studies being conducted
each year we have made great gains in combating illness relating to stress.
When it comes to illness associated with adrenal and kidney maladies, stress is a major cause.
And stress is everywhere these days.
We blame media for stress as a primary source, because controversy and tragedy lead the news. Social Media follows closely behind with virtue signaling about our societal incompetence. Especially when it comes to saving the planet or our responsibilities to
correct the mistakes of our ancestors.
For many people it is in our nature to ignore things that make us uncomfortable, like the dripping faucet.
So our stress is out of control and this adversely affects our kidneys and adrenals. Being in a fight or flight stage is not good for us . Full Stop!
It seems that when talking with many of my clients they are reflecting
on how life is not so wonderful anymore or at least we are remembering more of the things that are not so good.
Of course this leads to more anxiety and even depression.
Because if we remember more of the not so good things from the past – how can we expect better things in the future?
Pretending the faucet is not dripping or that everything is ok when you are actually stressed is one way of handling the situation but even when you pretend, your body tells a different story.
Fear and Anxiety have a lot to do with our kidneys. This is why we have dedicated our articles in February to our Kidneys. Kidneys are so important. Drinking enough water is only part of the equation (we should aim to drink a minimum of 3 ltr per
day).
We can also remember that Life is wonderful and that it is in our nature to remember all the good things that have happened in our lives. Like love, children,
family, success and so much more.
Real gratitude for what and where we are in your life seems to release chemicals in our bodies that lift us out of our dastardly
overstressed state of being.
We need to start a media diet. No media before breakfast. Breaks during the day when you don’t expose your self to communications of any
kind.
Everyone is different, but we don’t eat things that are bad for us every day. So we have to take the same attitude when it comes to communications.
To find out how to give your Kidney’s and Adrenals some much needed TLC, have a read in our Library this month:
And don’t forget to reflect on all of
the wonderful things that are happening in your life.
PS: if all of this is giving you a headache you might want to consider partaking in the anonymously conducted "Headache in Australia" study by Monash University for the Institute of Neurological Sciences.
