Have you ever noticed that what you are going through on the inside can affect how you feel on the outside? Like if you’re emotionally upset you may be physically suffering as well, this is much more common than you might think.
If you are dealing with stress or holding onto some sort of emotional burden it could be affecting you in ways you would never have thought. Pain in your body is something you should always pay attention to. I, for one, tend to have more stress headaches than most people, but now that I know what they are, dealing with them has been much easier. What is your body trying to tell you?
1. Pain In Your Head
If you are experiencing pain in your head like headaches or even migraines this is likely being caused by stress. When you feel a stress headache coming on it is important to sit down and relax while you can to prevent it from getting worse.
2. Pain In Your Neck
If you are dealing with neck pains you may be struggling with something on the inside. You could be having trouble letting go of something that someone else did. Forgiving others is important, try not to hold onto the wrong things. When this happens try to consider the feelings of those who you love that you may have been shunning.
3. Pain In Your Shoulders
Shoulder pain could be seen as an indicator of a heavy emotional burden you are carrying. Do you have an extra emotional burden you are carrying? Can you release any of this burden? Share the load with someone you trust. You may feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off of your shoulders after.
4. Pain In Your Upper Back
Pain here means you need something more than what you are getting. You are lacking emotional support and you may even feel unwanted. This can develop into a very serious issue if not addressed quickly.
5. Pain In Your Lower Back
Lower back pain has been associated with financial worrying. This is also something you should talk to someone about. No one should carry a financial burden on their shoulders without talking about it.
6. Pain In The Hands
This means you are reaching to others in ways that are not doing you any good. You need to try to do things differently. This is what we call isolation pain and if you want to combat it you need to go out and find more friends. Make new connections in this world.
7. Pain In Your Hips
Hip pain means you are afraid of something. You need to change but are refusing to. Something is overwhelming you with fear and it needs to be addressed. Stop being so resistant when it comes to change and let things happen as they should. You are only making things worse, the Universe has a plan for you.
8. Pain In The Knees
Is your ego a little too big? Knee pain could mean you need to stop being so selfish and think of the people in your life. Humble yourself.
9. Pain In The Calves
Calf pain can stem from jealousy. If you have been obsessing over something someone else has or has done now may be the time to get over it. Be content in where you are and who you are in this world. There is always be things in this life you do not have but want.
10. Pain In The Feet
Depression can sometimes lead to foot pain. Do something that makes you happy and doesn’t bother fooling with the things that don’t. Depression is a hard cookie to crumble but you can do it.
If you are dealing with chronic pain take these things into consideration and of course, if need be seen a doctor. You are important and making sure you are taking care of both your physical self and emotional self is crucial. Don’t let your struggles knock you off of your feet, you are far too strong for that.
