Our Bodies

I will admit that I don’t know about you, but, during COVID and now, in particular, I basically let myself go and didn’t take care of myself.  Do you take care of yourself?

Truthfully I know you don’t go OUT to neglect what our bodies need in body, mind or spirit/soul/emotions, but there ARE times it happens we don’t.  The thing is, we need to NOT worry about the fact that we did, but focus on what we CAN do to RESTORE ourselves.

Personally, I think we tend to forget that our bodies/minds/emotions NEED a time of rest AND restoration.  You hear about self care.  And it’s a real buzz thing.  But actually it’s not.

Focusing on the words self care, and not looking at restoration makes self care essentially useless.  Because if you haven’t done the foundation work of rest and restoration, self care does not and can never work.  

I know my body needs rest, restoration and recovery time and lots of SLEEP after the hell I went through last week with my allergy to the medications I had.  

So, if you have been through hell in any of the areas of life, PLEASE remember to give it time to rest and recover before trying to make changes.
