Dangers Of dehydration

During this time of rising outside temperatures, it is important when working outside to be sure to stay hydrated. The human body is about 60%-70% water. Our brains are 70% water, while our blood is 80% and our lungs 90% water. Yet, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. This can lead to serious physical conditions. It only takes a loss of about 2% of one’s normal water volume for dehydration symptoms to become noticeable. The symptoms may come on suddenly such as weakness, fatigue, fuzzy short-term memory or lack of concentration.

Energetic Releasing Of Trauma

Dealing with your emotions after a traumatic event can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come. Similar events, sights, smells and sounds may trigger a traumatic memory. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety. Often times our reactions to these events can produce fear and anxiety in our responses to it.

Does fear live in the future?

Typically fear is something that we think MIGHT happen rather than what is happening now, in the present. So, for all accounts, fear is a future thing, usually a projection into the future of what could happen. The majority of what we fear usually does not materialize. Its in the allowing the fear to control you that makes it stronger by interacting with it. The news media is great for instilling that fear in our minds and keeping it there. By constantly being exposed to the fear based channels, you are generating more of that fear by giving it more power.
