Hello!
Let’s talk about reading the signs in our bodies this week. Our bodies tell us signals of what is happening in our life much more than we give them credit for. But we often end up noticing those when it is too late. This is what I have been thinking about recently.
I do not get sick easily, so I tend to notice any sign that comes up quickly. But even with that, I realized I ignored all the signs for some months by now. I noticed my immune system getting weaker in the weeks before but I did not do anything. I did not listen to it. Then I got sick (got cold) after a long time.
Now this applies to many things. Sometimes, we experience some bad incident and we downplay the effect it plays on us. Then, it piles up slowly and ends up turning into some kind of disturbance (depression, anxiety, maybe even digestion issues?). But if we were able to listen to and understand our bodies early enough, we could have avoided that situation. In my case above, if I had taken care of my body when I first noticed weakening of my immune system.
Maybe it is time to slow down and listen to ourselves a bit more. Let’s not make our bodies have to shout through illnesses. Let’s discuss then: How can we establish this habit?
