"There is a tendency today to think there is something wrong with us...—inherently wrong with who we are—if we feel anything but happy, anything but coping, with anxious feelings brimming from every racing heartbeat or visibly raw, picked-at skin around our fingernails. So often, we actively avoid uncomfortable feelings and judge ourselves for feeling less than chipper in the first place. Yet from pain and from suffering comes growth. It offers us insight into what our Soul needs us to learn and forms a solid foundation for a meaningful life."

Stress is something that most people experience to varying degrees. ...It’s part of being human and it’s also part of what keeps us safe: Mehr anzeigen
When I was doing my undergraduate studies in nutrition and dietetics..., as well as during my PhD in biochemistry, I had the biochemical pathways of the human body mapped out on large pieces of paper, stuck to my bedroom walls. It was the only way I was ever going to learn them. When you see the body mapped out like this, you develop a deep appreciation for the critical role nutrients play in life itself. Every second there are billions of biochemical reactions taking place. What that means is that substance X has to be turned into substance Y, and for that to occur perhaps you need magnesium and vitamin B6. Without one or both of these nutrients the reaction cannot occur efficiently, and so substance X accumulates and you miss out on substance Y. And maybe if substance X accumulates it behaves more like a problem — a toxin — something your body will need to get rid of, and perhaps you need substance Y to sleep restoratively, or to create the hormones that allow you to feel happy, or for you to be able to access body fat and burn it as a fuel.
When you see the body absolute miracle that we are. If you knew who you truly are, you would be in awe of yourself. However, too few people live their lives in touch with that, and therefore don’t treat themselves accordingly. Mehr anzeigen
