Expectations and the Connection to Stress

We have a tendency to create our own stress... based on unfulfilled expectations. 

We expect others to treat us the way we want to be treated.  We expect things to go our way.  We expect things to happen when we want.  We expect the world to be as we see it... not as it is. 

As seasons change it can be a good time of the year for shedding the old and seeking the opportunity in new growth. 

Take some time to understand what “expectations” you have that may need to be looked at in a different light… more sunshine and clarity is on its way!

Find yourself some peace to prepare for the next season.

An Ongoing Natural Process

Your body makes new cells from what you eat. During sleep, your body works to repair muscle, organs, and other cells. Additionally, chemicals are produced through the metabolism of the nutrients you consume that strengthen your immune system and are in full force of circulation through your system during your sleep.

You are what you eat and your body rebuilds while you’re asleep.

No matter how much it gets abused, the body can restore itself. The first step in to stop interfering with nature. -Deepak Chopra

Allow the time for change

Life is a delicate balance of holding on and letting go.

During this season of turning inward, seeking warmth and comfort, looking for change, uncertain of what direction to go or what are the best personal choices to make; the secret is in knowing …

What to hold on to, and what to let go…

• Let go, once the lesson is learned.

• Hold on to what is adding value.

• Let go of beliefs that no longer serve you.

• Hold on to what energizes you.

Letting go

- Holding on

When to stand your ground, or when to walk in someone else's shoes. When to hold yourself accountable, and when to forgive. When to remember and when to forget. When to accept and when to change. What to hold on to, and what to let go. The list goes on and on.

All of it comes down to choice. The choice is a personal one. A choice we each own. We can be influenced by those around us, although it still comes down to each of our choices.
