The phrase “gut-feeling” became popular in the 1970’s, but its heritage is quite ancient. The way we now refer to the “heart” as the place where emotions reside, was originally believed (by the Greeks and many others) to have existed in the human gut, and really, that makes more sense.

We hear “follow your gut”, “gut-reaction” and “gut-feeling” because our gut is actually our second brain. Typically, it is telling us how we are feeling before the thought has even formulated in our minds. It’s the place where emotions manifest physically AND where your diet is digested for nutrients and distributed to the body. If you think about it, your gut is quite busy and important; so you better learn how to take care of it.

It’s morning. You know its morning because you were just blasted awake by your alarm. Fumbling to press the snooze button, you feel your heart beating out of your chest. There is roughly 5 minutes for you to tell yourself you are too tired to get up, that you don’t want to do this, and scroll through your mental Rolodex to find a plausible and believable excuse to stay in bed. Then the dreaded snooze alarm charges you again. Sound familiar?

So many of us feel this on a daily basis, or experience it often enough to be able to write a book on the sensation. We are haunted, and it is daunting.

Let’s look at some of the events that we anticipate with joy: movie night, Super Bowl Sunday, the holidays with family, a romantic date, an evening with friends, or brunch (who doesn’t love brunch?). What do all of these things have in common? Food. Sweet-sweet food. It is typical of all cultures to come together and share deep bonding moments and rituals over the act of breaking bread.

Sometimes we are trapped in the environment that breeds these feelings, and it can appear daunting to overcome; maybe even impossible. It is in these moments that entering an awakened state is imperative. We may not have control of our circumstances, but we are always in control of our thoughts. In Part 3 of this series, Dr. Guldal advises us on how to prevail if we are suffering from one or both of these.

Have you been told many times, “Stop saying ‘sorry’. You say it too much.”? While walking, are you a person who looks down to their feet and the ground? Do you have poor posture? If you are answering “yes” to these, you may be showing symptoms of shame.

We are learning through this show that ALL parts of us are connected. If we experience something in the mind, it will manifest itself in our bodies, our spirit, and our actions. Shame, of course, is not exempt, and sometimes our shame contorts itself to actions of blame.

Dr. Guldal goes in-depth on why we experience shame and blame, and how these two show themselves. “Shame In. Blame Out.” will be a multiple episode series; so please tune in next week for Part 2.

The knowledge one gains through personal life experience is deeply ingrained into subconscious, and is often the guiding force for behavior, self-talk, and the company one chooses to keep.

This experiential knowledge can dictate who we are attracted to and who we attract. Our relationships are vital to our lives, but if we don’t take a step back to reflect, we might be unwittingly repeating unresolved relationships of the past. We deserve to have companionship that empowers us and tends to us with love. So ask yourself, who are you hanging out with?
