You Can Influence Yourself

 Do you ever start to feel a certain way and then that feeling just gets more intense as time goes on? Like when you hype yourself up for a big task, and you start to get nervous and the nerves turn into cramps and the cramps turn into doubts. Or when you are super excited for a field trip and at first you were just excited but then you start getting jittery and then you have ants in your pants and can't sit still for a single second. How about when you have built up gas and don't want to let it out so you start to stress about holding it in and then you get a stomach ache and your tummy is grumbling and you start to feel nauseous? 
You are causing it.

It is almost all in your head. Just like when you have to go to the bathroom but there is not a restroom nearby to relieve yourself; others will tell you not to think about it or it will get worse, and they are right. The more you think about something and try to hold it in, the harder it is going to get to contain it. Eventually, the emotions are going to fester so much that it just boils over the edge and you end up drained emotionally and sometimes physically.

You need to take better care of yourself. Don't keep things strapped in when it could be as simple as talking to somebody, moving up the time you do something, or excusing yourself to relieve yourself.

You and your health are important and you are only making it worse on yourself most times.
