With all the drama and trauma in the world today, it is hard to stay positive and look for the good. Our amygdalas have been hijacked,<\/a> after all.<\/p>\n

We may find ourselves in a catch 22 in that we now know that the mind impacts our body and vice versa, but we can\u2019t find a way to lock in \u201cfeel good emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our society or family has taught many of us to \u201cstay positive,\u201d to \u201cpush through,\u201d to \u201cnot be dramatic.\u201d These messages cannot only be counterproductive, but also psychologically and physically detrimental to those who are struggling.<\/p>\n

For example, if one suffers with anxiety<\/a>, depression, or has low self-worth<\/a>, it can seem impossible to break free from that negative mind chatter to get relief. Their brains literally are functionally and biochemically stuck.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get unattached from scary thoughts, and you\u2019ve tried positive affirmations, willpower, and hundreds of dollars (or more) on supplements, pills, or other modalities to find a solution, you are not alone.<\/p>\n

I have found my clients with brain health issues have to get to the point where they can believe in the truth of nourishing words before rehearsing them can start to make a difference. We must address the biochemical, psychological, and\/or physical imbalances in cognitive functioning first, or simultaneously, as we are retraining their brain to go from the worst case scenario to a realistic or more hope-filled conclusion.<\/p>\n

In the first post<\/a> on my series on healing the blocks to a positive mindset, I discuss how the buried wounds of childhood inflict negative effects on physical and emotional health.<\/p>\n

This post will provide evidence that if you believe you are outrunning your hurts, your body and mind do keep score and eventually physical or emotional symptoms will pull you back, no matter how much you gloss over them.<\/p>\n

I hope you read this article<\/a> and become informed.<\/p>\n

From there, please reach out and get the support you need so you no longer feel like you are fighting a losing battle.*<\/p>\n
