STORY comes from my most recent experience of pain. Whether your pain is physical, mental, spiritual, and\/or emotional, this message will help you. The number one lesson is this: Pain is not your problem. Seriously, pain is not the problem. The CAUSE of the pain IS the problem. Look for it. Discover it. Are you so busy that you\u2019re forgetting to take care of yourself? Yes, I understand. It happened to me too, but\u2026if we don\u2019t take time TODAY, tomorrow we\u2019ll deal with the consequences. It\u2019ll take MORE time, and be far more painful. Remember, you\u2019re not only what you eat BUT\u2026you\u2019re also what\u2019s eating you. Be willing to look past the pain, and discover the cause. All drugs, whether we like it or not, cause side effects. There\u2019s a consequence to every single thing we think, feel, and do. I wasn\u2019t suffering from a migraine because I was lacking a pain reliever. I was having a migraine because of specific reasons. There WAS a cause. If you\u2019re experiencing any type of pain, it\u2019s VITAL for you to discover the cause. Not merely mask the symptoms of the problem. Uncover and discover the cause of your symptoms. Don\u2019t simply mask pain, or try to run from the pain or problem. Pursue the pain in your life. Find out where it\u2019s coming from. Uncover and discover the cause of it. Stop trying to run from it. Stop backing away from the pain or symptom. Lean into it, my dear. Look at it \u2014 eye to eye, face to face, heart to heart\u2014 and figure out what\u2019s behind it. There are lessons in your pain. I promise. What are they? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage with yourself.) TODAY\u2019S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Write down where you\u2019re hurting \u2014 experiencing mental, physical, spiritual, and\/or emotional pain. Take a look at it. Begin to identify the cause of the pain. Seek professional help, if needed. When you correct the cause you can experience healing at such a deep level. From above, down, inside, and out.
