It's quite possible one of the reasons I'm out of sorts is that I don't feel well. I stayed home all day, sleeping on and off. I watched a few shows, ate some food and drank some liquids.
I don't mind not feeling well as long as I don't have a headache. Yup, I've had a headache/migraine all day. I took the meds but it was a temporary fix. My head still hurts.
I want to be able to write but I cannot focus.
I want to be able to process yesterday's blog but I can't stay awake.
I want to be able to go outside but I can barely get up to get juice.
The "I wannas" are not winning. Instead, I honor my body and my spirit by letting it rest. Furthermore, I don't push it to do more than it can.
I used to. I used to push it way past it's limit. Then I'd get sicker and be out of commission longer. It never helped.
I've learned through trial and error to take care of myself. Even if it means saying, "No" to someone I love or something I enjoy doing.
Only I can make myself number one. Taking good care of myself will in turn teach others how I take care of myself. They will see the benefits. Whether or not they agree with me isn't important.
This is the body God has given me.
It's my responsibility.
