• The words you use to label your feelings are describing negative emotions.
• These emotions create a disturbance in the energetic field of the body.

You may have learned the way you handle your present life from the attitudes acquired at a time when you were just a child.

This includes many of the ways you act and how you feel.

These learned attitudes may have now become customary and may have been habits that started when you were only a baby or very young.

Some of the things that cause you stress now, are caused by your learned ways of thinking.

This negative way of looking at life may have have been created over many years, and has now become automatic. 

Stress can affect your overall health, and a number of health issues are related to uncontrolled stress.
