Self Help - Why We Experience Pain And Why It Can Be Good For Us

Why Is There Pain And Suffering In Life?

Humans can be strange creatures. It is often only through

pain and suffering that we take the time to really get to

know ourselves and make changes in our life. Many of us also

do not value things that are too easily achieved, i.e. that

we get without pain.

Pain is an inevitable part of life. If, however, you are

choosing to walk the high road (rather than the low road),

you will be minimizing the amount of pain and suffering you

would otherwise experience as you voluntarily choose to

learn your lessons before the pain becomes so great that you

are forced to.

So why do we have pain in our lives? Your conscious and your

unconscious (or soul) will give you very different answers

to this question.

How Your Conscious Mind Sees Pain

If we are honest, most of us see suffering as something

unpleasant to be endured or avoided. We see the better times

in life to be those when we are experiencing harmony,

contentment and happiness. When we are content, however, we

do not feel the need to search for answers. The times in

life that make us grow and give us the depth to our

character are not those times spent in harmony, contentment

and happiness, but rather those time spent in adversity. In

the same way that a baby who continued to lie quietly and

contently on a rug would never learn to crawl and then walk,

so it is for us. It is the times of frustration and pain

that move us forward and help us to grow.

There are times in most lives, when we feel we cannot endure

what life is throwing at us. During those times I remind

myself that I chose this life and I would not have chosen

things I did not believe I could endure or grow from.

How Your Soul Sees It

Your soul or unconscious sees pain and suffering as the

opportunity for healing, growth and understanding. Struggle

is natural to growth. In the same way that metal is made

stronger each time it is returned to the fire and then

struck on the anvil, so too are you made stronger each time

you endure adversity. Eventually the suffering and pain

fades and you are left with the gifts that are their legacy.

Although you have designed this lifetime in advance, while

you are here you still have the power of freewill.

Unconsciously, you can choose whether or not you will

experience some of the suffering you had planned to help you

with your growth.

This is illustrated in a story told by a subject in The

Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. In the story a little

girl chose to live a life where she could help others to

learn. To ensure she did this, she chose at the age of 8 to

fall out of a carriage and land beneath its wheels. As a

result of this accident, she suffered immense pain in her

legs and was crippled for the rest of her life.

Living and coping with the pain gave her powers of

concentration above and beyond those experienced by other

people. She used these powers of focus later in life to

become an inspirational teacher. The fact that she was bound

in a wheelchair meant she lived a life focused more upon

mental and emotional rather than physical skills as she had

deliberately unconsciously chosen to remove them from that

lifetime. The very thing that seemed to be such a tragic

event was the very thing that in the end meant she would

become successful in her chosen career and ensure her

personal growth.

While in a trance state the subject was able to explain the

unconscious moment of choice she experienced before she

continued to play with the carriage door until it opened.

She knew that she could stop playing with the door and avoid

falling out of the carriage and becoming crippled. She knew

that if she did this, she would still have a good life, but

she wouldn't experience the same level of personal growth

and neither would she serve others to the same degree.

Find The Positive In Your Pain

As difficult as it sounds, there is reason to be positive

about your pain and suffering. As a friend said to me while

I was recovering from surgery, "Embrace the pain it means

you are alive". Although at the time I wanted to say rude

and sarcastic things to him, in hindsight I came to find the

truth in his words. Those times you are experiencing pain in

life are also the times that you are growing and learning

the fastest.

In every situation, look for the learning you can get from

it. Once you have it, the pain generally ceases. Gain the

growth and cease the pain. If the pain continues, it is a

good indication that there is still something for you to

'get' (a lesson or understanding) from the experience.

Drink green tea, get less cancer

A long list of studies confirms that green tea drinkers generally get less cancer.
 

When researchers at Chung Shan Medical University in Taiwan, analyzed the diets of people with lung cancer and those without, they found that, for smokers, drinking green tea lowered the cancer risk by a factor of more than 12. Overall, among smokers and non-smokers, green tea was shown to lower lung cancer risk by 500 percent.2

Scientists at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center have shown that green tea lowers women’s risk of developing digestive system cancers, especially cancers of the stomach/esophagus and colo-rectum.3

"For all digestive system cancers combined, the risk was reduced by 27 percent among women who had been drinking tea regularly for at least 20 years," says Vanderbilt researcher Sarah Nechuta. "For colorectal cancer, risk was reduced by 29 percent among the long-term tea drinkers. These results suggest long-term cumulative exposure may be particularly important."

The Best way to Drink Green Tea

To protect your health, the best way to drink green tea is with lemon juice (or take vitamin C at the same time) and just a touch of sugar. Studies at Purdue show that consuming vitamin C (it’s in the lemon juice) and sucrose along with green tea can triple your absorption of green tea’s helpful catechins.4

It’s not often that one sees any benefit to eating sugar. In fact, this is the first time I’ve seen such a benefit reported. I’m a bit skeptical. It’s probably the lemon juice-green tea combo that’s so beneficial. But I guess we can allow ourselves a teensy amount of sugar :-)

Maintain Your Daily Motivation

We all have to work, every day. We may go to work at an office, or maybe our career allows us to work from home. No matter the situation, we all have daily responsibilities.

So why not make the experience pleasant, productive and satisfying? By keeping your chin up and not getting too frustrated with temporary setbacks, you can maintain a positive can-do attitude. Here are 5 ideas to keep you motivated.




1) Don't skip a meal
Stopping to eat lunch is NOT a waste of time, but a necessary break to help you re-energize.

2) Schedule time for fun
Schedule some fun things to do throughout the day. Enjoy a cup of coffee and read a few pages of a book, or take a brisk walk outside and enjoy the outdoors.

3) Steer clear of naysayers
Avoid those people who bring you down. Surround yourself with energetic and enthusiastic people, the individuals who make you feel wonderful.

4) Start an exercise program
Find a friend or co-worker to exercise with. It could be a walk during your lunch hour, OR meeting your friends at the gym before or after work. When you know you look good and you feel good, you're going to be motivated throughout the entire day!

5) Find solutions to problems
Don't let an obstacle bring you down, find a solution to the problem and get yourself back on track.
Motivation is not present by chance or luck...it's by you doing what it takes to keep yourself full of energy and yearning for great things!


    “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

― Thomas A. Edison

Help our kids..

Childhood anxieties can haunt us our entire lives.  

They can grow into insecurities, relationship issues, addictions, patterns of self-sabotage, depression, and affect every aspect of our adult life.
It's been said that there are only 3 motivations in life:
1. Ambition
2. Fear
3. Love
Of all of these *fear* is the most prominent in our world today.
*Ambition*has it's limitations and can easily corrode honesty and

compassion.  And in
most cases, ambition itself is usually fueled by a deeper fear.

*Love* is the only one that leads to deep lasting fulfillment.
*Love* is the only one that never compromises integrity and sincerity.
*Love* has no ulterior motives and casts away the shadow of fear.
Children were made in love and are living embodiments of love.
No one teaches us about love better than our kids.
As parents our greatest desire is for our children to thrive and be happy.
When we see our children get caught in patterns of fear, it's
heart-breaking.  So how do we help children who are anxious, afraid,
hesitant, insecure or downright dysfunctional because they are caught in
the grip of fears?
How can we help toddlers, kids and teens who are struggling in the world
because of this?

There are many tips to assist with these issues on the Parenting Club website available.

What are C vitamins

The c vitamin is the most widely known vitamin today. It is not surprising because the body needs c vitamin for over 300 functions and protects against heart disease, cancer and other serious illnesses. 

Without the c vitamin the body would not be able to heal itself either. This is because the c vitamin is vital for the formation of collagen. It is the collagen that helps repair the damage of cuts and scrapes, and without sufficient c vitamin this would be almost impossible. .

The c vitamin is also an antioxidant for the body and helps other vitamins and minerals to be absorbed better. Folic acid and iron, for example, need the c vitamin to maximise their usefulness. The more c vitamin that the body has, the better its defence against colds and other common ailments and the c vitamin may not prevent a person catching a virus but it does help speed up the recovery process.

There is c vitamin in almost every fruit and vegetable but some have far higher c vitamin content than others. Cranberries and melons have high c vitamin content. In fact, tropical fruits have the highest c vitamin amounts of all fruit. 

Hot peppers are amongst the richest sources of the c vitamin when it comes to vegetables. The hotter the pepper, the higher its c vitamin content is. Unfortunately, the c vitamin is water soluble so many vegetables lose their effectiveness as a c vitamin provider if they are boiled for a long time. Steaming or quick stir frying vegetables ensures that more of their c vitamin content is retained. The recommended daily amount of the c vitamin is easily obtained from eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day if they are consumed raw or cooked quickly.

C vitamin supplements are extremely useful to ensure that people obtain sufficient c vitamin. However, with a balanced diet the amount of c vitamin the body receives is likely to be sufficient. However, if a person begins feeling tired or lethargic then a c vitamin supplement will help overcome this. 

There is no danger of having too much c vitamin 

as the body simply excretes the excess.

Cancer scientists have even made a stunning announcement: A special form of vitamin C can kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.

What are B Vitamins ?

The Different Types of B Vitamins

There are a large number of B vitamins that are needed to keep all of the body functions performing properly. All of the B vitamins are essential for a number of different processes. Without sufficient B vitamins the blood supply would not be healthy and this leads to a variety of illnesses and diseases. 

The following is a list of Vitamin names used 

Thiamin, or B1, is the B vitamin that the body needs to keep all of its cells, especially the nerves, functioning correctly. It is especially important for memory and general mental health and is one of the B vitamins that is required to convert food into energy.

Riboflavin, or B2, is the B vitamin that is essential for releasing the enrgy from food that has been consumed. Without this B vitamin the body cannot grow or develop properly as red blood cells will not be as healthy as they should be.

Niacin, or B3, is the B vitamin that is involved in over fifty processes, ranging from detoxifying chemicals to making hormones and releasing energy from food.

Pantothenic acid, or B5,works with several other B vitamins for a number of essential processes including breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy and is also the B vitamin that is needed to form vitamin D, a variety of hormones, and red blood cells.

Pyridoxine, or B6, is the B vitamin that is largely responsible for redistributing the amino acids to create over five thousand proteins that are needed by the body and is also one of the B vitamins needed to form various enzymes.

Biotin, or B7, is one of the B vitamins that are involved in a number of processes within the body, including the breaking down of fats, carbohydrates and proteins into useable energy forms.

Folic acid, or B9, is the essential B vitamin for aiding in cell growth and division, especially during pregnancy. This B vitamin is also necessary to make natural chemicals which control the appetite, moods and quality of sleep. It is also the best B vitamin for helping lower the chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke by keeping the arteries open.

Cobalamin, or B12, is one of the B vitamins that is important in the process of converting the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into energy. This B vitamin is also vital in forming the protective covering of nerve cells and to keep red blood cells healthy, and help prevent heart disease.

Meditation for Stress relief

Did you know that a key cause of nearly all
health problems is stress? And that if you could
seriously lower your stress level (and there is a
way) it would transform your health--including
many serious health problems.

Wouldn't you like to wake up in the morning actually
feeling good? When was the last time you enthusiastically
jumped out of bed eager to start the day?

What is this solution? Meditation.

Yes, I know. You probably don't want to meditate.  Or,
you tried it and it was too hard, or too boring.

But I have several articles on my Wisdom Adventure blog that give tips on this very topic. 

Youtube also has many good videos like the one below

that can also help meditate and relieve stress.

Keeping Fit and Loving Life

You can begin loving life by learning to appreciate your health.

There are many ways that you can keep yourself fit without having to go through the usual process of going to the gym and working the machines to lose pounds.


One of the easiest and simplest ways to stay fit is by walking. Making it a habit to walk can do a lot in trying to make your body physically active. Walking can be very beneficial if you try to make a habit out of it just by changing some of the things that you usually do. If you plan to go somewhere on a short distance, why not walk it out instead of using your car?

Riding your bike can also be a good way to stay fit. You can use your bike instead if you wish to go places that can be too far to walk. You can use your bike instead of your car and then enjoy the benefits of physical exercise. Not only that by using your bike instead of your car, you may also be saving quite considerably on fuel costs.

Jogging can also be a good way to keep yourself fit. Jogging is a fairly easy and effective way to improve your aerobic fitness. You don't have to buy a running machine or use the treadmill just to do so. Jogging can also offer other benefits aside from just helping you keep fit. It might be much better for you to be outdoors where the weather is nice and go out on a jog than to drag yourself to the gym. By going outdoors, you enjoy the fresh air and the surrounding scenery as you go out jogging to keep yourself fit. 

If you wish to combine work with exercise as a means to keep fit, maybe you can try out gardening. Doing work on your lawn or yard can d a lot to give you a good physical workout. Working with the shovels and spades can help keep your muscles toned. You also make your yard look more beautiful by taking care of it as a means to keep fit.



Even at work, keeping fit can also be included in the daily tasks. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator gives your body a good workout. You can try to park your car at the far end of the parking lot and try to walk the rest of the way into your office. When going out to lunch, you can try walking instead of driving there. This way, you can still continue giving yourself a good workout even while at work. And doing this daily would get your good results after a week or so.

Loving life means trying to take care of your body and keep it healthy. A healthy body ensures that you are able to do the things that you love doing. Having a healthy and fit body ensures that you thoroughly enjoy life with less limitations and more possibilities.
