Stress wreaks havoc on the body in more ways than many of us care to admit. The body will let you know in subtle and not-so-subtle ways when it says ‘No’ in hopes that you’ll listen. Yet so often, we don’t catch our body’s memo – or blow past it – until we can’t ignore it anymore. Getting acquainted with your emotional competence ensures that what you think you want and what you really want are without dissonance. You are less likely to be driven by delusion and more likely to be lovingly devoted to what you want and have consciously chosen.
