Being Sick vs Acting Sick

When we dont feel physically well, this affects our entire self. We need to take special care of ourselves during these times. Being physically sick disrupts our balance. However, sometimes we just have to take care of ourselves and nurture back to health.

We must not try to ignore our bodies symptoms. In addition, the body is wise and tells us when we need to rest. In our modern times, it is difficult to provide and grant ourselves with time to heal and relax. There are a million things we need to get done everyday and for some of us staying home is not an option. But, is this really true? Are we really succeeding in our day when we feel ill?

There are sometimes, that we even extend our illness. However, we try to believe we are stronger and that there is no reason for us to be sick. Nevertheless, I believe that the worst part is the kind of person that we may become when we don´t feel great.

I noticed the last time I was sick; many habits I have been trying to quit just came back in full force. I became judgemental, intolerant, unappreciative, just an awful person! I was on an attack mode, me against the universe. At the end, it wasn´t the universe attacking me; but, it was myself attacking me.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that most of the time it is us fighting ourselves. No one is really attacking us, except ourselves. We must realize that we must stop fighting with the mirror. It does no one any good, and it is time and energy consuming. If we really analyze it we will realize it is just plain crazy.

Challenge of the day: When I feel defensive, I will analyze who is attacking me.
