Early Monday morning I was up with diarrhea and vomiting. When this happens, I figure there was something offensive in my body that needed to be purged. I hate vomiting but usually, feel better afterward.
Sometimes our systems need purging. Whether it be emotional or physical clearing. Iām guessing this was something physical because I felt off on Saturday as well.
I donāt think I attended an Equine Gestalt Coaching MethodĀ® Core where Melisa didnāt at least mention that when a client says they feel like theyāre going to throw up she always tells them the arena floor is dirt and easy to clean.
In January I drove by Hays Medical Center where Mike died. I felt it throughout my body and do now just thinking about it. I had been to the Cancer Center that is on the north side of the medical center without any sort of reaction. Driving by on the street in front of HMC was too much for my body and I couldnāt get away fast enough.
Our bodies react to our emotions. It may be feeling butterflies in your stomach when youāre anxious. It may be a tightening in the throat when there is something that you need to say that is difficult for whatever reason.
Have you ever wanted to say something but had the feeling that it wouldnāt be accepted well? You may get choking feeling in your throat. Your body is trying to help you hide whatever is uncomfortable for you. Usually, it is better to let the discomfort out.
Have you ever been around a person that you feel has no filter? Maybe they just have an easier time expressing their discomfort. I must admit sometimes itās easier to be around someone like this ā you always know how they feel about something.
I know I often find myself in a position where I try to hold back tears. This isnāt particularly new Iāve always been sensitive itās just more often now. Why does it make me uncomfortable to tear up around other people? Does it make them uncomfortable? Why do I care so much about what other people think?
Crying, venting, hitting something are all ways to express your emotions. It can be a huge relief when you do especially when youāve been holding them in for a long time. When youāve been stuffing them down with whatever method you use.

Once youāve purged the system you can Breathe much easier.
