Holding It In Makes You Sick: The Hidden Cost

Image
  Many of us grow up learning to “be strong,” “push through,” or “keep it together.” But what we rarely talk about is the weight that comes with carrying emotions we never release. Anger. Bitterness. Jealousy. Resentment. Unforgiveness. Hidden hurt. Silent disappointment. These emotions don’t stay neatly tucked away in the heart. The body feels them. The mind reacts to them. And the soul holds them like unspoken stories. The Body Keeps the Score When we bottle up hard emotions, the body shifts into a subtle form of stress response. Even if we smile on the outside, our inside is tightening, guarding, bracing. Over time, suppressed emotions can contribute to: Chronic tension Anxiety and irritability Fatigue and sleep issues High blood pressure Weakened immune system Digestive issues Emotional numbness or shutdown What stays unspoken becomes stored.

Childhood Games To Purpose - Full Circle


 

As a young girl, I loved playing house—but my favorite games were always “store,” “teacher,” and “doctor.” I didn’t know then, but it seems I was rehearsing for my real life.

At 12 or 13, I got my first taste of entrepreneurship, selling Kudos candy bars at school thanks to my aunt. It felt natural—like something inside me already knew how to build, serve, and share. Teaching came natural too. I’ve always had a heart for sharing what I’ve learned, planting seeds in others. And the healer in me? Still present. I often receive insights—spiritual remedies and visions—that I research and find real benefits like medicine.

It’s amazing to realize that the games I played as a child were never just pretend—they were glimpses of my calling. These roles still shape who I am today. Playing store as I create products and have an online store , teacher as I heal I share what I am learning or have learned sometimes sharing my thoughts on the topic in a way that provokes thought, and doctor wasn’t random because to this day I still get inspired remedies and medicines—it was purpose peeking through.

It appears that what we’re drawn to as children can be clues to our future. Our childhood joy might just be the earliest whispers of who we’re meant to become.
