Well, my days of over-working and not enough sleeping has finally caught up with me. Like ninja stealth I feel like I have been sucker punched to the face. Nothing a little sleep, some green tea, extra water, a little TLC…and a Dominos pizza can’t cure though. HA! Okay, the latter isn’t exactly chicken soup and doesn’t REALLY help on a health level, but I did order chicken as a topping and it sure made my “staying in on a Saturday night” feel a little less pathetic. Party in a box for one please! Is this sad? It is…isn’t it.
Our bodies are truly amazing though if you think about it. It is much smarter than we think we are, and it speaks to us if we actually pay attention and listen to it. The body, a miracle within itself, will tell you exactly what is wrong and when you are out of sync with the natural flow of life. And if you (like me) are too stubborn to listen to the cues of when it needs to slow down…it will slow things down for you. The longer you ignore the little cues, the larger and louder they become. I have this conversation with my clients all the time. Now it is time to heed my own advice.
So tonight I will listen to what my body has been screaming at me for a very long time…slow down, implement some self-care, and get some rest. And so I shall. I only have this one body and I plan on keeping it for a very long time yet, so I best take care of it…”in sickness and in health, till death do us part.”
