Recuperation is often necessary when feelings low.
Many people need some form of recuperation during their life. It is often a low level of recuperation but sometimes a more long term recuperation is required.
Some of the warning signs could be lack of confidence, poor self-image, negativity and failure in our lives on a daily basis; whereas these manifestations you are normally not apparent when all is well with you and you are in good health.
Most of us try to 'cover up' this feeling of self worth by showing forced and 'artificial' behaviour. Watch TV, open the newspaper, listen to the radio, or visit news sites on the Internet and you’ll immediately notice that the amount of human bad luck, human failure and disaster one is exposed to is disheartening.
Avoiding these sources of news and “entertainment” because you can’t stand the amount of negativity that infiltrates your mind can can often boost your energy-state as your "identification with these events lessens.
Recuperation is often required when feelings overwhelm us. The feeling of discomfort, unhappiness, anger, fear, procrastination, frustration, shyness and incapability, all act to deplete our energies. This array of negative thought processes and sensations causes people to look for artificial ways to cover up their lack of confidence by taking on forced or unnatural behaviours. Here are three of the most common ways of covering up a negativity which may show us that a recuperation program may be necessary:
1) Forced and unhealthy communication.
Forced acts of communication are ways we relate with each other in an unnatural and destructive way. Examples of unproductive communication could be uncontrolled anger, screaming or abusive language, or making unfair or unproductive remarks. When we feel uncomfortable in social situations or have a fear that you think it is being controlled by another, we try to gain the upper hand by dominating the other person in some manner.
For example, your spouse might make a remark that you allow to cause you to feel poorly about yourself or to feel you have been attacked in some way. The words of others can also negatively impact on our recuperation path if we allow them to do so.
Most of the time, we react to what someone says, or they bring up something that is disagreeable to us and this criticism which is justified in their eyes maybe not how we see it in ourselves. This reactive feeling is all too often a sign that more recuperation is required. As a result of feeling threatened, you might counter with an aggressive or hostile remark of your own. Before long, you have unintentionally begun a downward spiral in communication that will surely erode your relationship over time.
Lacking recuperation likewise impacts all other areas of life. Additional examples include fear of public speaking, ineffective professional communication, pursuing a carrier that is not in alignment with one’s passions and life-purpose, dating or even marrying people that do not match up well with our most important values because we fear we may not attract our ideal partner, and bringing up children to be fear-based, reactive, or unhealthy in their perceptions of the world and in their relationships with others.
2) Sleeping Excessively in order to Escape from Reality.
Do you know anyone who “sleeps their time away?” For countless people, sleeping is a way to escape their painful feelings of incapability, fear, discomfort, unworthiness, and weakness. These feelings stem from the interpretation that one is somehow unlovable or not good enough and are ultimately and means more recuperation by you may be very useful. These "energy drainers" can cause internal friction that makes us tired and then comes the feeling of can't cope.
They also result in having us want to escape those situations instead of coping with them in an appropriate and effective manner. For many people sleeping is the easiest escape rather than learning to face life’s challenges. Sleeping is a means of recuperation - so upon awakening, all challenges can be coped with more easily with fresh energy. However many people don’t use sleep for the purpose of regenerating energy. They numb their pain with ‘chronic sleeping’ as an escape from reality. As an escape strategy, problems remain unaddressed and unsolved and so tend to become worse with the passing of time.
3) Use of Alcohol, Drugs, and Cigarettes.
As an active observer of people’s coping strategies, notice how often so many look for ways to numb the pain rather than address the source of their challenges. Many find comfort in cigarettes as a stress reliever. The underlying source of mental stress and bodily tension is often diminished is because recuperation is not complete.
So often, people condition themselves to turn to alcohol or drugs after experiencing a stressful event. Rather than deal with the causes of life’s disappointments, relationship challenges, or ineffective communication, it’s often easier to look for ways to forget about the problems by turning to alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Of course, these destructive forms of escaping the uncomfortable feelings that are caused by low confidence, a bad self-image and poor recuperation often result in compounded health and social challenges of their own.
In addition to their harmful physical effects, drugs and alcohol amplify negative feelings and thus result in further destructive behaviour. In this way, they compound the already present challenges and result in a worsening, vicious cycle of greater proportions.
Here are more prime examples of where insufficient recuperation from injury can occur. From whiplash, family breakdown, heart disease, car accident injuries, family loss and gambling addiction etc. Rather than detach from or attempt to escape the challenges brought on by injuries or operations, there is a more effective ways to live a more powerful, happier and more abundant life - simply by allowing more recuperation time.

So this is where a visit to my Easternview Recuperation Centre can help. After working personally with hundreds in my Kinesiology Clinic in the past 15 years, I have uncovered effective yet simple, easy-to-implement ways and strategies for improving one’s recuperation outcomes and helping reduce these feelings brought on by one’s painful past.
Recuperating from traumas and injuries and accurately assessing one’s current situation and helping yourself by using step-by-step strategies, can help build your future so you can be more proactive in life.
As a Kinesiologist, I works with the mind/body systems. Kinesiology is remarkable, allowing me, the practitioner, to work with a wide range of patient issues.
