Your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts.

When you think stressful thoughts, you activate transcription factors that turn on inflammatory genes. Inflammatory thoughts create inflammation in your body.

This stress response system evolved to help us survive acute threats - like running from a saber-toothed tiger. Your body floods with cortisol, blood sugar spikes, heart rate jumps. Perfect for short-term survival.

Stress is simply the perception of a real or imagined threat. Same input, different perception = completely different physiological response.

The solution isn’t avoiding stress - it’s changing your relationship to it. How you discharge it. How you perceive it. Your thoughts are literally your medicine or your poison. Choose wisely.

It may hurt when they walk away.
It may feel like rejection, abandonment, or even failure.
But sometimes, the loss is actually the blessing in disguise.

Not everyone is meant to stay.
Some people drain your energy, blur your vision, and block your peace — all while pretending to care.
They come with chaos, dishonesty, and manipulation, often wrapped in the disguise of love or friendship.

But once they leave —
Clarity returns.
Peace settles in.
You breathe easier.
You sleep better.
You begin to attract people and opportunities that align with your worth.

The universe doesn’t take away what you need.
It clears the path for what you truly deserve.

So don’t chase people who were never meant to stay.
Let them go — lovingly, peacefully, and without resentment.

Because the right people…
Will never make you question your value.
They will add to your peace, not subtract from it.

Sometimes, subtracting the wrong energy is the only way to multiply your blessings.

This "second heart" refers to the calf muscle pump, specifically the soleus muscles, which play a crucial role in aiding venous return—the process of pushing deoxygenated blood from the lower limbs back to the heart.

When these muscles contract during walking or leg movement, they squeeze the deep veins of the legs.

One-way valves in the veins ensure that blood only flows upward, toward the heart. This mechanism is vital because gravity works against blood flow from the lower body.

Without the calf muscle pump, blood would tend to pool in the lower extremities, leading to issues like venous insufficiency, swelling, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

This is especially important for people who sit or stand for long periods (e.g., during long flights or desk jobs).

Lack of movement reduces calf muscle activity, increasing the risk of clot formation.

Therefore, regular movement—like stretching, walking, or ankle flexes—is recommended to keep the "second heart" functioning effectively and reduce the risk of circulatory problems.

So while the calf isn't literally a second heart, it acts like one by providing critical support to the cardiovascular system

We're continuing our spotlights on various massage modalities. Have you ever had a deep tissue massage?

It's often called a misnomer because despite its name, deep tissue does not imply that there will be any extreme pressure or pain associated. However, the therapist may use their elbows, forearms, fingertips and muscles to further access the deeper layers of your muscle tissues.
