What do you do when you are sick?
Oh I’ve missed you guys! I’ve been sick for almost 2 weeks. Acccckkkk!
But, I’m almost back to full health…no wait…allow me to reframe:
I AM BACK TO FULL HEALTH!!!!
I am full of energy. And I am full of joy and appreciation for a pain-free throat and a clear nose that I can breathe through. Woohoo! It feels good to be back to my usual sense of gratitude and endless possibilities.
So I’m curious. What do you do when you are sick? Do you give yourself the time and space to recover? Or do you beat yourself up for needing the down time? It’s such a challenge isn’t it?!
I’ve gotta admit that last week I bounced back and forth in between nurturing my body and attacking myself for not being able to do everything I had scheduled and wanted to do. But, this is what I know:
When the body needs rest and recuperation, the body needs rest and recuperation.
And in the future whenever I am in less than full health, I am willing to commit to give myself full permission to clear my schedule, rest, and nurture my body. The sooner I take care of me, the sooner I can get back to my regularly scheduled life!
