Stress, work and exercise

I used to smoke as well, years ago. But a woman asked this question on the fb page, and most of the responses were from women who’d never smoked, hardly drank, very fit and watched what they ate. Plus, a lot of the women here have children, some even 3 or 4!! So I’m starting to think that might not even play a part. It’s all still research. I’ve asked so many specialists and no one really knows. So I can only go from myself, and what I’ve read. Most of us seem to have troubles stemming from childhood, cos let’s face it, I don’t think anyone’s parents or grandparents really knew what they were doing. I say this half jokingly, but there’s heaps of truth there. We have so many traumas that are just simmering inside, not recognised as such and therefore ignored, causing them to manifest in different ways and illnesses. Trauma and emotional damage doesn’t just go away on its own. It’s there, in our bodies, causing pain. Then there’s the negative self talk due to lack of self esteem most of us experience, due to one reason or another. Bullying etc at school, work. And there you have it. One miserable, trauma filled body, trying desperately to make ends meet in the rat race.
