The older I become, the more focused my life becomes upon wanting others near my side and me being by their side. The state of the nation and with the war being focused upon has caused me also to want to take the next right step instead of the next hurried step.
My curiousity is peaked at what others may be feeling this season. Therefore, it is my hope that sharing this information will be helpful to my readers and visitors at RoseMeade's Wellness Nook and that you will write to me as others have and share with me about your life.
Maybe someone out there would like to share with me about what you gave up for Lent Season and how it made you uncomfortable. If so, please send your email to rosemeadesthorn@aol.com or simply follow the link here and send me an email via Suite101.com.
My subject matter for Suite101.com is Hypochondria and it is my belief that being uncomfortable has a lot to do with why someone becomes a Hypochondriac. One of the main goals in being in a constant search for either what seems to be making a person ill; or, being in a constant search for something to cure the illness, could possibly come from not being willing to stay uncomfortable long enough for the symptoms to go away. Take for instance, when a person decides to stop drinking. They try for a time to stay away from alcohol. Shortly thereafter, they get huge cravings to drink again because they are uncomfortable. The drink is taken and for a time, the person becomes comfortable again but then shame and guilt return. A cycle ensues and sometimes goes on forever. Some of these thoughts are being shared today for contemplation by others who have the problem of obsessing on being well, getting well, being sick, or fear of getting sick. Think for a second, how much you are willing to be uncomfortable. I have a feeling the longer you stay uncomfortable, the more well you will become.
