Why your body won't let you ignore the truth
Aug 10, 2026Hi lovebug,
I recently had a reel go viral on Instagram. As of this writing it has 212,000 views, 9,926 likes, 2,997 shares, 393 comments and 483 reposts.
In comparison, one of my decent reels would get about 3000 views, a smattering of likes, a couple of comments, 1 repost (usually by me) and maaaybe a share or too.
(If you haven’t hopped onto Instagram to check out the viral reel, you can do that here.)
The reason I bring this up is because the topic is so fascinating to me.
It’s about the signs your body wants you to leave your relationship and you’re not listening to it.
I listed out some of the things I’d experienced and then HUNDREDS of women commented with “OMG. Yes! I had those symptoms too! And they went away after I got out of my relationship.”
Wild, right?
Our bodies are so, so wise, but we don’t always know how to read the signs they give us.
Twenty years ago when I was in the cancer recovery part of my life, I read Louise Hay’s book called “You Can Heal Your Life.”
I felt something unlock inside me the day I picked up that book.
I was twenty-six years old. I was in recovery for ovarian cancer. I'd had terrible bout of severe eczema where I couldn't touch water or use my hands. (It was awful.) And to top it all off, I kept breaking out.
Since the eczema had calmed down and the cancer prognosis was looking good, I decided to focus on my skin. I could NOT figure out what the heck was going on because I’d had clear skin for years.
I looked in the section of the book with a chart that listed out the problem (ailment), the probable cause (in terms of your thoughts and feelings), and the new thought pattern (an affirmation).
Problem: Acne
Probable Cause: Not accepting the self. Disliking the self.
New Thought Pattern: I am a Divine expression of life. I love and accept myself where I am right now.
I was like, “Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Read me for filth why don’t you…”
So I started standing in front of the mirror every day and saying the new thought pattern.
I KID YOU NOT, my freaking acne just disappeared.
Poof!
I felt like a freaking skin sorceress!
I rarely get blemishes and have rarely gotten blemishes since I completed that re-patterning.
Now I will be perfectly honest that it hasn’t worked on all my ailments, but to also be honest, I wasn’t looking in the mirror and saying the affirmation with the intention of healing… hmm.
*makes mental note to start doing that*
So! What does this have to do with you?
Well, I believe your body is a major intuitive resource.
Specifically, I believe ailments in your body can provide a map to what is or isn’t good for you in your life.
It could be a relationship or a job or a friend or habit or pattern or a situation or an environment—truly anything can show up in your body as something your body wants YOU to say no to.
Thankyouverymuch.
If you know how to read your body’s signs and understand the metaphors, your body can be guiding you in ways you didn’t even realize.
And we’re going to talk about that in part two. 🙂
If you’re thinking, whoa, I have some ailments that I need to tune into, I have three recommendations.
- Read the next post that comes out because we’re going to dive into this topic deeper.
- Check out Louise Hay’s book: You Can Heal Your Life. It’s one you’ll want to buy and keep on hand as an ongoing resource.
- Book a psychic reading / remote healing. In these sessions, I’ll tune into your energy body, see and hear where there’s stagnation, stuck emotions, and unprocessed memories, and then we’ll move them out. I also hear where there might be patterns you’re struggling with that are causing these energetic blockages.
Okay lovebug, I’ll see you in part two.
