It is so easy when you get a symptom to want to simply cover it up, isn’t it?
You’re in pain so you take a painkiller, or you’re feeling down so you eat a carton of ice cream.
Ackkkkkk! I’ve been THERE many times, along with most of my friends.
Then there are other things, like denial and unhealthy distractions. You know what I’m talking about… Like shopping way to much to take your mind off the real problem.
They’re usually trying to give you some sort of message.
Rather than shoot the messenger why not go within and try understanding what that message is all about.
For example, if you are starting to get a pain in your neck. What has changed recently?
It could be as simple as you are sitting at the computer too much and you need to take more breaks, or simply spend less time there.
Maybe you need to schedule some TLC, like a massage to work out the kinks if you have been working a hard deadline.
On the flip side, it could be an emotional issue. Many times a negative emotion will bring with it a guest.
1. Β Start by asking yourself questions like, “what happened right before this _______ started?”
2. Β Ask what event, action or thoughts have been going on?
Maybe it started right after you had a family conflict, resulting in a fight with plenty of fear and resentment sprinkled into the mix.
Now you notice you feel worse when you anticipate having to be in contact with those family members again.
Now it would be the time to figure out what the root cause of your issue could be.
On the emotional side, working through your feelings about the situation is so important to free yourself from your discomfort.
I like to go a step further and find the earliest highest charged memory that has a similar ‘feeling’.
I use tools like The Healing Codes and EFT to help in this process.
When you clear that first memory and all the emotions involved, it can grab all the other memories that are similar and clear those as well.
After taking care of thoseΒ accumulated emotional issues, you find that you don’t overreact as strongly when new situations occur.
Obviously, when you’re remaining calmer in new circumstances, your overall well-being is impacted in a big positive way.
Of course, ultimately you’re the one in charge of your own health and well-being. If you ever question if your symptoms are serious, you should always seek out the advice of your healthcare professional.
Most of all don’t ignore what your body, mind, spirit, and God is trying to tell you.

βIβm so glad youβre joining me on my blog! This is where I share tips and insights on how to get unstuck in your life, business and health."
Great article! I love the encouragement to learn from your symptoms and not just ignore or medicate them. Thank you!
Thanks Kelley,
I’m so glad you stopped by. I hope you have a great week!

Giving people tools to support them in moving away from the old ‘reactive’ state of being is so inspiring Melissa. I know from personal experience that being able to choose a response as opposed to experiencing reactions makes for a life that’s so much more fun and productive. π
Hi Elle,
Yes I agree. Reacting is not the best place to be for sure. Choosing responses is so much better and changing how you feel about things makes the responses so much sweeter π Hope you had a great weekend dear friend and a great week to come.
sage advice, melissa. i recently cured myself of decades-long sinus issues . . . with daily citrus! i’d gone through every prescription and OTC medicine on the market, and things just kept getting worse. finally i listened to my body and noticed it was continuously craving lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit. so i gave it what it wanted and cleared my nasal passages of long-standing infection. and i can smell again too! unbelievable! (but not really. π )
That is awesome April,
Sinus infections was one of the first things that turned me to alternative medicine. I used to have to be on antibiotics 5-6 times a year and it was awful. The year I switched over and tried natural ways I have not had a sinus infection ever since. Sure I’ve had some colds but nothing major. It was a true blessing!
Thanks for sharing your story and visiting π
Melissa,
I loved how well you explain this.
Looking for the root cause of our symptoms makes so much sense. Reviewing what was going on in your life just before the symptoms appeared – brilliant!!
I’m trying to figure out how I got an itchy rash on my hand and now on my neck!
I will use your wonderful techniques to see if locate the source of the original “annoyance.”
Thank you!

Awesome post and so spot on for me…funny enough, I used to have this horrible pain in my neck…seriously, it was nagging and always noticeable. As soon as I was released from my part-time work outside of my own coaching practice, the pain dramatically decreased, and now I rarely ever notice it at all. You’ve just sparked new excitement in my faith that I’m headed in the right direction!! Thank you Melissa…
That is so great Stacey! What a gift to YOU! I love hearing these kind of stories. I have seen so many wonderful changes in people’s health and wellbeing by just listening to their own signals. It’s awesome. Then throw some effective tools into the mix and you got a map for success π
Thanks for being here and glad you are continuing on your path!
So true Melissa and spot on for me this week as I got en eye infection and I watch myself actually avoiding the journaling I need to do
Thanks I will do that exercise today
Namaste
Suzie
Hi Suzie,
Yes girl, get to your journaling! I love it. Sometimes I resist what I know I need the most and usually it is some block or deep rooted old old old belief that surfaces, being a bit stubborn. I use it as an opportunity to work on it and clear it once and for all. They are so much easier to clear when they are exposed like that π
Also eyes in THC are related to the kindness category. So someone not being kind to you or a past unkindness might be somewhere to look. As well as the patience category for the infection. Look for impatience or just wanting things to change or happen now π I love looking for clues like that.
Good luck I hope you feel better quickly.
This comes at a perfect time, Melissa! I’ve always been one to “tough it out,” like ignoring the signs makes me some sort of super woman…it doesn’t. Thanks for this reminder to listen to my body! x
Great article. It took me a long time to gain body awareness and really tune in to what was triggering certain physical ailments. Thanks for a wonderful reminder to stay aware.
Great pointers and questions to ask yourself. I’ve been getting intense jaw pain lately and I started asking myself why – I thought at first maybe my teeth were hurting but it wasn’t the case. Stress. I realized that as soon as I took some time to myself, it went away. Being aware and conscious is SO important!
