100%.@ 59 I've lost my husband ,my parents & a child. Although I grieve I dont stay in it. I've watched people stay in that horrible place after losing a loved one. It consumes their every thought. I often think this is the person who will be diagnosed w/cancer. Our bodies & minds weren't meant to stay in a constant state of distress.

[@EnchantedIrish]

I just turned 58. I lost my mom in my 20s. My husband at the age of 56. My dad five months after my husband died. A daughter that I have not seen in four years because I don’t agree with her. I have no family out here other than two children who live with me and need my help. For about eight years crisis after crisis, tragedy after tragedy has taken place and I am trying so hard to get out of this grieving state. My faith has helped me. Many people tell me they don’t understand how I’m doing as well as I am, but I have chronic pain. And like you said, I have known so many people to suffer and then get cancer. My younger sister has cancer right now. Bad prognosis. I have been trying to help her when she flies down for surgeries etc. I am going to send her this interview. I pray that you are comforted and that you are OK.

Hi, you're a very strong person. To me, it's admirable to hear you're able to not stay with the misery of loss and dispare.

[@mkclune]

I love everything I’ve heard so far! It reminds me when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and the doctors said that nobody my age (29) had ever had this kind of tumor. It was so weirdly freeing to me because instead of being scared, I felt empowered that since there was no precedent, I could recover better than anybody. It was intense, but it did work out that way!

[@goblinsRule]

Rhe medical community has to tell us, are we unique or we are all the same, if we are all the same, then we don't need to go to the doctor, we can just do what others did, if we are really unique then our trajectories are unique and can't be deduced from others life and experiences

I have been practicing this for over 20 years. When I let stress overwhelm it becomes practically impossible to destress. Healing ourselves through believing we are healthy when we aren’t is the most important strategy to take our lives into our own hands.

[@annefischer1433]

I have often said and agree with the doctor Langer that the most important relationship is the one with yourself. Nobody can make you angry four other negative thing feeling we have. We do it to ourselves . That's why we can't forgive anybody else. We have to forgive ourselves which simply means letting go of whatever negative hostile resentful feeling we have towards someone because it's not doing us any good to keep holding on to a negative feeling. it's going to make us sick. Coming full circle.

Full of wisdom.Psychology is very important it should be introduced in children and also sociology.So young people know how to stand up for themselves

[@chemistIT]

@@edwardcopeland5069I think we need to know what’s important to us, for example- health, relationship, personal development, etc., and then we make decisions on how how we build our lives around those important items. If something does not add any value or becomes a detriment to what’s important to us, then we should not put any valuable resources (time, energy, money) into it. This has been my guiding principle, and I revisit my “what’s important to me” list every year.

I love psychology and sociology, neurology, It’s so important! ❤😁 The way she’s explaining everything is the way I think and I’ve learned to think. It’s helped me profusely and I used to be very stressed with many triggers and couldn’t separate the worry from focusing on what I needed to accomplish in the moment and it was mindfully debilitating. I was taught to worry! When I stopped listening to others who kept telling me to worry about every small thing in life, and I took the action steps to utilize all this info and much more info as well as learning my genetics and opening up to understanding a better way of life and living then I began living it! My whole life changed. I began to open up and learn info about all kinds of things I never would have allowed myself to learn because I was taught not to. I stopped letting others control me which upset certain family members as well as friends and I just let them go and began to stay away from them. Then my life turned around and I began to accomplish my goals one by one and continue to do so. Everyone can do this, it’s just up to each person to decide if they want to or not. I wanted to and many people don’t so they continued their cycle of unhappiness in life for life, then get upset at all of those who took the steps and became happy. Healing is so important. Don’t hold onto them. Forgiveness is key to yourself and others. You have to deal with the issue and not place it in the back of your mind. You experienced negative or horrible situation, knowledge it, express your thoughts about how it makes you feel and begin to deal with it etc…then begin healing and move forward, knowing it’s now in the past and you get to live today and in the future, so do it. Live today and for the future. My weight fluctuates when I’m stressed and when I’m not I lose weight immediately and without changing anything else. It’s very real. It’s so interesting to me! I absolutely love learning about it all from so many people who teach it and help others as well! It takes practice to do it and if I can do it, you and others can do it too! I use the stick market as an example too. Great analogy. I’ve worked in Radiology and CT, DEXA’s Surgery, Management, for over 25 years and she’s explaining the truth! Powerful info here! 😇💪🏼👍🏻🤩

I believe spirituality, not psychology is the root of healing. We lump psychology and spirituality into one lump, but our soul is real. WHEN OUR SOUL IS AT PEACE, WE HEAL.

The competitive nature of life from the cradle to the grave - plus the high expectations from people around us - contributes greatly to stress and eventually sickness… - just my thoughts…😊

I'm 80 years old, I have always believed I'm a healthy person, I have not been to the doctors in over 20 years. I been exposed to all illness and spent time in Kolkata. I have no intention of ever becoming ill, I just don't think about it. The only illness I had in my life was tonsillitis, and that was a long time ago, I still do winter sports.

I stressed about retirement, i loved my job, but coworkers said i would love retirement as they were going to. I had a month to decide... and i went crazy with stress!! I couldn't think, what to choose... I know i didn't want to, but everyone kept saying Retire. So.. i retired. I went into shock immediately. I hated life without my job... i have so much regret, and self loafing. I cannot go on. My stress is constant, im experiencing insomnia, STRESS, anxiety, and depression. I lost desire to live. I don't do anything i use to... i gave up my perfect life, because i listened to others. I don't enjoy anything. I don't appreciate anything anymore, i don't care... snd i don't leave my apt. I used to be so extremely active, happy, and positive. Its like i betrayed myself.

[@coutyowls886]

Beautiful! I’m 65 years old and my annual exam included mammogram, the whole 9 yards indicated that I was in Perfect Health! Dr., is still scratching his head! Lol however, I do stay in mindfulness and I’ve had crazy things happen in my lifetime, but at the end of the day, it’s ability to accept change

[@juliafisher5844]

Please explain why is Dr scratching his head as you're in good health.. why wouldn't you be?

[@projectqueen610]

Wieght gain is not always caused by stress eating...There ate studis nlw proving that STRESS ALONE causes wieght gain. I explored this as a result of my own struggles..stress directly affects blood sugar. Cortizol and so much more...which causes belly fat in particular.
