I am noticing how commonly – and inaccurately – the term stress is being used.

In one day I heard two different people say to me, after only a very short conversation, and who didn’t know me at all:

“Don’t stress…”, “I don’t want to stress you…” , ” I can see it is stressing you…” and “I am sorry it has stressed you..”  !!!

When, all I did was to share a thought on something.

I became aware at this point, how frequently the word stress must be being used in every day speech.

Having a thought or a feeling is not ‘stress’ at all.  We are designed to have feeling and thought reactions, however unpleasant we find them.  They remain simply that, a thought or a feeling.  They do not go through a special metamorphosis becoming another term ‘stress’ before we speak of them.;)

‘Stress’ is an ailment, a condition that comes about only from an ‘unmanaged’ thought or feeling.  A thought or feeling that has been neglected and left unprocessed, or ignored and no action taken.

An upsetting thought or feeling is not stress.

‘Stress’ or ‘strain’ of us occurs only when thoughts and feelings are mismanaged.

We are designed to have thoughts and feelings – however, and whatever they are – good or bad.  Stress occurs later on, when something goes wrong with the processing of said thought or feeling.

‘Stress’ or ‘strain’ occurs not from an issue, thought or feeling at all, but from a thought or feeling left, undealt with, to stagnate in us.

Our energy gets disturbed, and becomes stuck, and our body will  react,  as it is designed to do, when our energy changes.  We react by breathing differently, and our circulation changes almost instantly.

We are energy.  We are designed to flow…

Leaving anything – any aspect of ourselves – to sit unused, or be neglected, causes the potential for ill-health.  The part of us that is stagnant, unflowing, unclear of ‘junk debris’, neglected or unused IS where an ill-ness will take up residence.

Naming anything at all, and using it’s name, is part of the road to manifesting it.

Using the term stress will make it harder for you to keep it out of your life.  In fact, using the term, makes it a part of your life.

Isn’t it perhaps an ‘agitated feeling’ you feel?  Or ‘angry’ or ‘annoyed’ or ‘fed-up’ or ‘hurt’ by something?  Or a simple “I get a bad feeling.” or  “I have a bad thought about that.”

Maybe you feel your energy ‘rise’ as you think, or share of something that happened to you, to another.  This isn’t stress, it is your energy telling you how it makes you feel.

We react to things.  It is healthy for us to have reactions to things.

If you can used another word – instead of stress – I recommend you do so.

Real stress itself can also be healed, and it begins with not adding more to the knot of old, past, remnant, junk issues/thoughts and feelings in and around ones energy.

Have fun! : )

Lover of life, love, joy and music and all that brings clarity to a planet in need. Author, transformative/self mastery educator, sound healer, & singer songwriter. I am particularly interested in all languages, history, bringing an understanding to and mastery of, our feelings and thoughts; helping people attain inner peace; healthy sexual expression, development of consciousness, and in so doing, bringing a balance of our true selves operating in harmony on earth. I can provide the answers, my life has given me this. We have just gone off course. ;) I was born into a living hell, where I was not allowed to speak -even to learn how- and I needed to employ military survival tactics as a toddler just to get around the house unharmed.;) I was forced to figure out life, or I was not going to survive, and I did so with completely unbiased eyes, as I could trust nothing that I was told by family who intended me harm. I started meditating in early childhood as just a natural instinct to run away as far as I could, behind my eyes . Figuring out what had caused my mother not to possess any natural maternal instinct, and why she couldn' t love me, enabled me much insight and gave cause for intense, undistracted research. Now it has been given the name Antisocial Personality Disorder/Narcissism/Sociopathy, but as her cruelty and control disorder were always accompanied by historical rules, orders, sayings and beliefs, I learned much of the 'knowledge' leading our species astray at the time. I wanted to be the best Human Being I could Be, and I wanted to know how. I ran away at 5 years old, with my 8 year old brother asking to come with me, but, having no where to go, I sat at the corner sweet shop realising this and returned in secret, unpacking my little case to 'stick it out'. So, living within her cruel, ignorant ways, while secretly studying what life was really all about, I noticed my life as a microcosm of what was happening large scale across the globe, which inspired me to share what I learned. : ) Many Blessings to you on your journey!
