PeggyParticipantHi K,
You are not responsible for other people’s financial situation – you cannot fix them by fixing your chakras. The easiest way to rebalance your root chakra is to affirm to yourself “I belong on Earth” and imagine the color red moving up through your feet and legs and into your groin area.

PeggyParticipantLisa,
You know very well that people answer you on this site so why are you being so rude?

PeggyParticipantHi Emilia,
I love my own company but also value and appreciate spending time with people I love and with whom I have a connection. I love the idea of parties but I am shy about approaching strangers and attempting to make conversation with them which usually means small talk. I’m more outgoing sometimes than others and those are the times when I probably have the most fun.
If you are happy with the way you are, then that’s fine and yes, there are plenty of people that can relate to you on that level.

PeggyParticipantDear Rideeta,
There is something you are not facing. Anxiety begins somewhere. There was a point in your life when you were not anxious. Breathing fully into your lungs quells anxiety. Learn to breathe fully. Your chest hurts why? GAD is a mental condition not a physical one. The impact of your mental condition means it becomes physical. There might be an underlying cause for your chest to hurt aside from your anxiety but the long term effect of anxiety is bodily weakness.
The only way you will ever stop being anxious is to embrace your life instead of being scared of it. Sorry to disappoint you but there isn’t another way. You have to do all the work. Exercise routines such as Tai Chi or Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Strauss, Musical Instruments, Painting, Nature, Long Country Walks, Swimming, Pottery, Pets – you have endless choices.

PeggyParticipantHi G,
I’m so sorry that you are feeling so awful. There is only one thing for you to do and that is to accept yourself exactly as you are in the present moment. Even if you can’t go to school, there are all manner of on-line subjects and courses that you can study and I am sure that you will be able to take them at your own pace.
You have a debilitating condition for which you do not have to apologize. You have not let your family down. Upsetting yourself in this way just makes things worse.
You have received some kind replies and suggestions. I hope you can draw strength and comfort from them.

PeggyParticipantHi Manon,
You have a husband and children that you love. Your husband is not accountable for his sister’s spiteful behavior. She has pulled this stunt twice – ask your husband if he will still excuse her after the third time. Has he spoken to his sister on this subject? Has he told her how upset you are? He probably just wants to keep the peace.
This behavior comes from jealousy. Shrink it down to size and don’t let it bother you so much. Display your own photos of your much loved children, yourself and your husband. There is no reason for anyone to think that you should divorce your husband over this – it’s far too trivial. See it as it is – someone being trivial/jealous/spiteful towards you and your family.

PeggyParticipantHi Aiko,
I’m sorry to read your sad story and that you are suffering so much from anxiety. Stress leads to physical pain/illness. Stress depletes the immune system and opens the way for illness to manifest within the body. I don’t know if you can make an appointment with a stress counselor who can give you practical advice on how to deal with your anxiety rather than some-one who just talks to you.
You probably need to learn correct breathing techniques – perhaps it sounds too simple to say that anxiety can be reduced by learning to breathe properly but it is the truth. Perhaps you could join a group that teaches Meditation to help you with this.
There are a vast array of products on the market that you can listen to which encourage relaxation and visualization techniques as well as helping with pain relief. Perhaps you could locate one or two and see how you get on with them.
Perhaps you could join a Bereavement Group run by a counselor and express your fears in a safe environment. Before you know it, someone will be giving you a hug.
I hope some of the above is of help to you.

PeggyParticipantHi Daniel,
Let the love in from those around you and more importantly from yourself. Love begins with self.
Depression comes from two places – unexpressed anger and unresolved grief.
I hope you can work through your troubles and let the sun shine in.

PeggyParticipantHi Thalia,
Exhaustion stops you doing anything and everything as well I know. Do you want to discuss your mental health issues further? It sounds as if, basically, you may need to learn techniques that quieten your mind. Learn and apply the “STOP” technique when agitating thoughts enter your consciousness and make yourself replace those thoughts with positive affirmations or positive statements.
Following your passions could be just the antidote you need to counteract your exhaustion. Resolve to spend half an hour a day writing your memoirs. Every journey begins with a single step.

PeggyParticipantHi Nichole,
That’s an awful lot of people to lose in the same year. I’m not surprised that you went to pieces and are looking for meaning and purpose to your life. Learn to calm your mind in whatever way you can – music, exercise routines, walks in nature and so on. If you find it helpful, connect with bereavement groups usually run by counselors and gain support in that way. Give yourself time and continue being positive and taking those small steps to achieve goals. Consider how much you have to offer others and what your purpose might be rather than what the purpose of life is.

PeggyParticipantHi Gia,
I lived next to fields with several siblings – always stuff going on. Ball sports, fishing in the brook, picking mushrooms/blackberries/rosehips, finding horses to ride very badly, spending hours just walking over the fields. Skipping, hoola hoops, skating, bike rides, card games, jigsaw puzzles, reading and working things out mathematically.

PeggyParticipantDear Rideeta,
Your ex-boyfriend, the only person in the world with whom you will have a family because he is the only person in the world that you will every truly love, will force his religion on his children just as he has tried to force it on you. If you think that the only reason you are studying is so that you can earn enough money to raise a family then you are very much deluded.
You have this great opportunity to study so that you can liberate yourself, so that you can give yourself choices, so that the people you attract will be more prosperous, so that you can escape poverty and limitations that an awful lot of people have to endure.
Why don’t you just throw it all away on a dictatorial, religious maniac who strung you along for his own sick purposes.? Thank God life had other plans for you. Embrace the future and all that it holds for you – there is a far better man out there for you than the one who let you go. Go out and find him instead of moping around feeling sorry for yourself.
Seize the Day.

PeggyParticipantHi,
Hope you’re not getting lonely out there. I don’t know of any books that encompass several true life stories – perhaps there’s a cue for someone to compile one.
Good luck in your search.

PeggyParticipantHi Javairia,
I don’t know if you have a photograph of yourself around the age of 6. but sending love and comfort to that little child creates the space for healing to begin. It will bring you peace.
Your brother’s attempt on his own life might well be the “angelic shove” that you have needed for your inner child to surface so that you can heal that part of you which has laid dormant for so long. The changes happening within you will be subtle but they will be there nonetheless.
Thank you for being so ready to listen to what I have been saying to you.
Peggy
PeggyParticipantHello Michelle,
Don’t know why – they’re not seeing what I am seeing.
Keep shining that light.
