Everybody is different, and therefore — every body is different. What is tension for one person is felt as pain by another. Some people have a tendency to quickly become overweight; others can eat what and how much they want but still never gain an ounce.

Others are born with one leg shorter than the other, or with just one arm. Some people have a strong heart and others strong lungs. Some have weak knees but strong backs. And sometimes an illness or accident creates lifelong vulnerabilities.
I can go on like this, but surely you get the gist of it: the variations of bodies are endless. We all have strong points and weak points. It’s one of the things we learn throughout our lives and need to take into consideration.
You are not like any other person, and your body has its particular limitations. Moreover, when situations change, such as your living environment or your job occupation, or when you get older, you’ll notice that your body will react differently. That’s why continuous body listening is so important. Life is always in constant flux.
People also tend to react with certain body parts when they’re under stress, angry, or sad. For instance, when I’m very angry, I feel shooting pains in my lower back. When I’m under high stress, my shoulders and neck become very tensed, often resulting in headaches.

I’ve noticed that people may react entirely differently when under emotional distress. For instance, some people get stomachaches and heartburn, diarrhea, or constipation, or they feel weak in the knees, or perhaps have difficulty breathing, and so on.
In addition, people also react differently to the bodily tensions or pains they might suffer from. Some people don’t bat an eye, while others may become severely depressed. Still others start eating healthy and dive into physical exercise, but there are also those who become frequent pharmacy visitors.
All in all, you shouldn’t look too much at what other people do, and how they solve issues. That can surely give you pointers or ideas, but in the end it’s about you needing to get to know you intimately.
