Ever have one of those days when you are so sick even making your way down the stairs is a questionable task? These are the days when your body forces you to be mindful. It will let you ignore it no longer.
I don’t enjoy being sick that is why I’m changing to a radical new diet. Days like today, when basic tasks feel impossible, having self-compassion is more important than ever.
Be kind to your body. If you need to rest then allow yourself the time you need. It’s easy for us to get into a habit of pushing.
We push until we break down but remember – we’ve only got one body.
You for some reason it’s so hard to be kind to yourself.. but your right we must treat this body the best we can..
Wise words, dear friend ❤️
Thank you!
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Look after you 🙂
I’ve had those times. I remember once in India, vomiting into the toilet when I lost control & had diarrhea all over myself. Tmi! Sorry. lol. I started crying. Bodily revolt!
It is very easy as a mother to “suck it up” until you have nothing left. I’m trying to do better at my kids seeing me work on self care. I don’t want them doing that when they become parents. Life is a one shit deal.
Ummm obviously I need to do some self care cause I can’t type! I’m sorry!!
Ivets had quite a trying few weeks, with lots of stress and heightened anxiety. I was and am so exhausted. I desperately wanted to call in sick just to rest and escape the rat-run and not have to put my mask/face on and face people. I didn’t though, because I work in care and I care deeply! The guilt of calling in sick when I don’t have any kind of physical symptomology (like flu, stomach bug, etc) would leave me feeling massively guilty and ashamed and would only add to my already stressed state of mind!
Unfortunate that often we feel guilty for practicing rest.
Story of my life!
Your totally right. We must care for the well being of the body.
I should read this every day!
