"Feel-Good Mondays" are meant to help us get back into that place of feeling energized, nourished, and ready to take inspired action for the week ahead.
It was around 3am and I was in a deep sleep (as deep as my mommy-sleep gets these days) when I was jolted awake by Rye screaming, “Mommy! Mommy! Mommmyyyyyyyyy!”
When I ran down to his room to investigate, he informed me that his legs were hurting and he couldn’t sleep. He had spent the previous day climbing up and down (and up and down and up and down!!) our neighbors’ wooden fence (were talking a good two hours), and clearly his little muscles were super sore from all of the hard work.
Since then, my 4-year old occasionally complains of random pains throughout his body, and we’ve discovered that he gets what we all get from time to time: Growing Pains.
Rye’s growing pains may be tied to the fact that his body is, in fact, still getting bigger and bigger with each day (and his muscles are getting stretched and used more than ever with his never-moving body), but even as adults we can experience “growing pains” when we feel stretched beyond our comfort zone in some way.
Pain can have many physical causes (such as mineral deficiencies, inflammation due to food sensitivities or lifestyle factors, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance), but it can also find our way into our body due to emotional factors as well.
I find that I can get twinges of tightness and soreness in my hip when I am feeling particularly anxious. I get major shoulder tension when I’m feeling like I’m carrying “the weight of the world” on my back. My husband notices his back-pain kicks in when he’s trying to repress emotion (especially the less-accepted emotions, like anger and frustration).
In these videos, I discuss the physical and emotional causes of chronic pain:
From magnesium deficiency to gluten-sensitivity to high stress, pain can come from many sources.
In our practice, we look at chronic pain from all angles to get our clients true, lasting relief.
If you feel ready to heal from frustrating pain, and are looking for the support and know-how to do so, reach out to us.
We’d love to support you to feel good – every day.
