The weights of the world Harry Chrissakis is a holistic therapist and lecturer with 20 years experience in the healing arts. No prod- uct or product lines will be sold or represented. Have you ever wanted to increase your muscle mass? Have you ever started a new work out regimen and had to begin with an embarrassing low amount of weight? When you started your muscles weren't capable of han- dling huge amounts of weight. If you had tried to lift the maximum weight possible, you may have ended up in surgery with a hernia or worse. Our bodies are meant to be active. We are meant to be physical- ly fit, it is by choice that we allow ourselves to get out of shape and leave ourselves vulnerable unable to handle the physical aspects of life. At some point you may need to run to save yourself or someone you love. It would be a shame if you couldn't be ready when a physical challenge comes your way. and When we deal with life, we sim- ilarly lift weights that build our emotional muscles. We have experi- ences that come into our lives and may feel hard to manage but once we make it though, we find that the next time we face a challenge, we are stronger than before. We have a wisdom and an understanding of tragedy that readies us for another challenge. It is a fact that at some point you will face adversity and may need to save yourself or some- one you love by being emotionally fit enough to weather a challenge. It would be a shame if you couldn't be ready when an emotional challenge comes your way. When you take on physical fit- ness, you start out sore, tired, beat down and sometimes down right miserable. Over time you can see the results of hard work and dedication. You can see muscle develop and fat dis- appearing. You can hear the compliments from peo- ple impressed with your tenacity. At some point, your attitude about physi- cal fitness changes and it becomes a welcome chal- lenge and rewarding to tackle heavier weights and max out your abilities because you know it is for your benefit. You believe it is a short term pain for a long term gain. You even have people there who are more physically fit to spot you while you struggle through. They have been there and they know you can do it and they will help you if you need them to. It is important to see personal adversity as equally important. You may go through something in life and feel that you have had more than you can handle and that any- thing new coming at you is just plain mean. That it is an unfair cru- elty thrust on you or your family. I think of these challenges as emo- tional weight lifting. Some of the greatest thinkers, achievers and people in the forefront of our world have faced huge adversities and challenges. I believe that when you open yourself up to be used for greatness in the world, you are fool- ish to believe that everyone is going to like you or that everyone is going to welcome you into the fold. You must build your emotional muscles Faydra Rector You Matter I have control over how I react to it. We can choose to let the experience be what it is and build our emotion- al muscle and become wiser, more humble and ready to take on life's next challenge or to help someone else take on theirs. You can spot someone who doesn't think they can bear this weight. You can hold their hand, believe in them or nudge the weight just a bit so they can see for themselves that it is possible to overcome its heaviness. to bear the weights of this world. Similarly, sometimes bad things happen in the lives of good people and no amount of preparedness stops it, it only makes it manageable. Everything in life sim- ply 'is' until we attache a meaning to it. We can see emotionally draining things as punishments, unfair or unnecessary things happening to us or we can look at them for what they are, events. We can look at them and say it is just as likely that this would happen to me as it would to anyone else and Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
