Stop the **STRESS** STRESS Matters

Stress really effects us soooo much more than we think and really makes a huge difference in ALL of this NBE.
Okay, yesterday I was really really ~stressed out~ and you know what. ABOUT NOTHING!!! I have been on NBE for about 1 month. After 2 days of being on NBE, I started feeling pains and I have felt them from that point on everyday. I nursed 5 children, so as of now I am pretty much filling back out. I have filled out to about 2 inches on one breast and 1.5 inches on the other.
Well, yesterday. I really noticed that I was not getting the usual throughout the day activity in my breast. SO Today I decided to wake up with a different mindset and have been feeling the normal tingles and pains all day.
Just a reminder that stress GREATLY effects this process. I know we have read it and have heard it time and time again but thought I would send another reminder to try and not sweat the small stuff especially things we can't change anyway.
Take Care All and much success with your growth!!!

Easy to say, yet hard to do... I think we need to have a thread dedicated to "de-stressing" us. Like, with quotes, and jokes.... stuff that will help us realize that we are independant, confident, and nothing else matters. I have a really hard time with stress.

I too have been suspecting that stress may be a big NBE killer. That might have been my problem for not growing so far, so I started working on it with all possible means - hearbs against stress like Ginseng and hops, meditation, subliminals, everything that I can think of!

i think while yoga and exercise and things like that help, your own behavior and your own reactions to people and situations create stress. so you can control stress by observing your behavior and your reactions. if you have a commute and leave 20 minutes early, you won't have 45 minutes to an hour of stress in the car! that's a long time to stress! if you try to work on procrastination, then you have less reason to stress as well. If you treat the people in your life well, they will treat you better and you will have less reason to stress. i live in a busy city and see people stressed out, treating people like crap, and freaking out everyday. sometimes it is really tempting to join in since i am surrounded by it, but i've learned not to participate and i stress far less than i used to. if you have a yoga mat, or just a comfortable corner, meditation for about 30 minutes a day makes a huge difference. i grew up in a really anxious environment and am trying to unlearn a lot of things. whatever works for you...whether you call it prayer, meditation, centering yourself. it really works for me and makes me more aware of life outside my daily streses and concerns and aware of others as well.

Very true, everything you said. Good stuff to try and remember, it is so easy for me to fall into a negative trap sometimes, but the only one that gets hurt is me. You seem like a really cool girl+ thats really all i have to say.

Hi Sophie,
Well, hun... you better work it.
You touched on soooo much and everything you said was well received by me as I know others will also be moved. You know the saying..."Hurt People Hurt People". Well, really that's soooo true. Normally the people you see that has alot of stress in there lives are people that ~unfortunately~ have so much buried pain within. I know that this is a NBE forum but if you are a person that has much hurt and pain within that has not been dealt with, and it is causing you stress it will continue to effect your growth process. Please try to confide in someone you trust, for we find great release when we release our hurt and offenses to other. I hope that makes sense!!!
Gook Luck Everyone,

thanks sarabell and nursedfive...
you both seem like cool girls yourself
you are so right nursedfive. you make total sense! i'm lucky to have a couple of really wise people in my life who help me along, and in turn you find yourself being able to help them in return. it's the best feeling. it sounds like you have that as well. i hope everyone has someone like that or can find it as well.

Not obsessing over things you can't change right at that moment is another biggie...I am horribly bad at it...but if the bus doesn't come, it won't come any faster by you jumping up and down and cursing it...sadly. Breathe, find a positive thought. It really doesn't matter ,all the tiny ****ty things, we're well and live in countries where we are free and have a chance to be happy. Phew. By the way, Perfect Curves (which I am on) has really helped me de- stress, I normally fret over small things, but since being on it for a month I sleep better, handle stress better and have stopped worrying so much...must be some good ****...placebo or not!
