Learn Why You Are Addicted to Stress?
If so, you are not alone! Millions of people are addicted to stress, worry, jealousy, anger and a myriad of other emotions or emotive responses.
Why? Because of the peptidal battle taking place within you every moment of your life. If you weren’t paying attention in high school biology, you might have missed the discussion about peptides and receptor cells. Let me refresh your memory…
The Battle of the Peptides
Each tiny cell in your body (there are billions) has hundreds of receptors on the surface of its external membrane. Each receptor is designed to accept a particular peptide like a lock and a key.
The peptides seek out and attach themselves to these receptors, so they can supply the cell with a particular emotion, or required nutrient or an incentive to take some sort of action, etc.
What’s interesting is if a person has a predisposition to experiencing his or her physical reality through a particular emotional filter (by predisposition I mean habitual) they will tend to have more receptors on their cells for that emotion compared to other emotions.
Even more intriguing is if the cells are continually being fed the same peptide again and again, when the cell splits there will be even more of those types of receptors on both of the new cells.
So hopefully you can now understand that by habitually living in a certain emotional state, and habitually reacting with one emotional pattern, you reinforce an ever-increasing bond between your body and that particular emotion.
This is why quitting smoking, or giving up any physical or emotional addiction, is so difficult for most people. The addiction has forced our cells to morph and they now depend on a particular peptide for sustenance. Our very cells demand the chemical fix! To conceive of stopping that continual flow of poison is not logical to the brain because there is no Objective Observer operating when an addiction is in control.
In fact, there is no real self in the driver’s seat at all. The addiction is driving the experience. With no one else to step in and take over, the cells in your body can become victims of both physical and emotional addictions.
The Gnostics Call This ‘Death’
When our physical body is controlled by habit and emotion, we become slaves to our own internal chemicals. This is the definition of mental addiction.
