A Discovery!

I was sitting on the couch and the pain was getting worse and worse, when I thought to myself.  don't just sit and let it stagnate.  Get up and MOVE it out.   So I went into the garage and screamed at the top of my lungs, I came back inside and stretched and jiggled and told myself to let it out.   It felt better for a few minutes after that.  It came back, but this has to be somewhat of a discovery. 

Don't STAGNATE in any way: your body, mind, or spirit.   MOVE it OUT if it feels bad.   Don't keep it IN.   Get it out by any means you can -- and this happens through emotions, movement, talking, exercise, stretching, crying, screaming, laughing, anything that excretes things and moves them OUT.   Don't hide it, suppress it, manage it, deny it.   GET IT OUT!

This could be a key, I just have to find a way to do this constantly, as it's not possible to scream, cry, run all day long, especially when with the kids.  Maybe I feel like I can't express it around my kids and have to PRETEND that all is well, thereby letting it BUILD inside me with no way to get it out.   But maybe there is ANOTHER way when WITH people and my kids that I can move things OUT, instead of letting them build.   FIND IT.

MY DISCOVERY IS THIS:  

PHYSICAL - When it's physical, clear it out physically by movement, running, stretching, massage, yelling, breathing, shitting, burping, dancing, singing, sweating, anything that is physical that works for that moment, depending on where it is.   Try breathing and telling your body that you have received the message and can stop sending it now:   http://www.wikihow.com/Overcome-Physical-Pain-With-Your-Mind

EMTIONAL - When it's emotional, get it out emotionally by crying, screaming, laughing, talking, feeling it out somehow, whatever you can manage in the moment.  Try this meditation technique to feel it in your body and release it:  http://life.gaiam.com/article/deepak-chopras-7-step-exercise-release-emotional-turbulence.  Try feeling it and TAPPING it away, but focusing on it and releasing it with tapping.  

MENTAL - When it's mental, get it out mentally by talking, writing/journaling, saying "release" to yourself, shaking your head, replacing with positive truth, meditating, funny and happy music, thoughts, and movies.   Try seeing it in 3rd person:  http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-squeaky-wheel/201309/simple-mind-trick-reduces-emotional-pain.   Try forgiving yourself for your part in this and tell yourself you choose to release it now.    Ask yourself what exactly hurts.  Ask yourself what you need to release it.

ALL -- And when it's ALL OF THE ABOVE or you can't quite tell which one it is, then just move.  Try releasing and getting it out by doing something from ALL three categories,  physical release, emotional release, or mental release until it eases.

***LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT.   And when you are feeling good or better, invite more of that in by opening yourself up to it.   Sit with the good.

But don't SIT with the bad -- GET IT OUT, every time, however you can, don't let it BUILD, and then MOVE FORWARD with your life.  Just live!  LIFE IS GOOD.  It is meant to enjoy, but whenever you feel the pain, touch where it is.  Decide quickly whether it's emotional, physical, or mental and then GET IT OUT.   It's just blocked energy and pain that needs to be released.  So RELEASE it.   Don't let it build.   Get it out.
