Good News + how your Intuition helps you focus on Progress (not the Past)

I recently received some good news that I hadn’t been expecting. At first, it confused me - because I hadn’t been expecting it! Then I felt delighted. And then I felt confused again because it seemed like it had been such a long time since I’d felt delighted. So, of course, I started to doubt it a little bit. Could it be real? And then I got annoyed at myself for doubting something that was obviously so good!

I wanted to share this ridiculous roller coaster of emotion that I rode up and down for a few seconds, so I can take you to the realisation I reached after going through it all:

I used to get migraines that medicine would only temporarily dampen, and they would last days at a time.
One day, I learned a trick…

The body has an amazing way of helping us cope. When we feel pain, the brain releases endorphins, which block the perception of pain. Endorphins are our natural pain relief.
What I was doing was creating more pain within my body so that my brain would create more relief.

It never stopped my headaches, but the contrast made me feel better.

I witness people creating drama and suffering in their lives. They fight with their partners, punish themselves for making mistakes, they eat too much, sleep too little, and continue to battle within….
Just to feel relief when it is over.

They aren’t solving the problems, moving beyond the old patterns or pain. Often there is no resolution or gain, but they create the illusion of it.
And remain.
