with Steven Rogat
December 2001/January 2002
Dear Steven: I am a single
mom with 2 children who have different fathers. I have
a successful business with several employees. I work
a lot and seem to be busier than I really would like.
Several years ago, while starting my business, my mother
also moved out of town, and one of my children's fathers
reentered our lives. This has created a lot of emotional
tension. That was about the time I was diagnosed with
rheumatoid arthritis. The "attacks"
of arthritis are getting worse. I know they are related
to tension, but there is so much going on I can't pinpoint
the problem area. The pain is not located specifically
in one part of my body, but rather it floats around
hitting a different part of my body each time. I have
trouble just getting out of bed in the morning. I'm
tired. What can I do?

Dear Sarah: Rheumatoid arthritis
does make it painful to move around. Because yours "floats",
it has to do with general mobility issues. You may have
a hard time moving from one emotional state to another.
Your mom moved. Your child's father moved. You "moved"
your place of employment. With all that moving going
on, it is now demanded of you to keep moving between
your
personal and professional lives. Physically, you need
the mobility, but emotionally, you want to rest. A regularly
scheduled meditation would be extremely helpful. This
would be an affirmation that you have your OWN life,
your own space, and that you can "stop the world
at will". Stress management techniques and nutritional
counseling would also be recommended.
Positive Thought To Manifest: I
act on my feelings in the perfect form and at the PERFECT
TIME.
Everything Doesn't Have
To Be Done At Once,
Steve |
