Chili pepper chicken soup, ginger, and better health, oh my!
Morning,
Well, finally after 48 hours, my (24 hour times 2) cold has disappeared. It’s about time!
That’s the good news - the bad news is I’m as weak as a newborn puppy and witnessed my get up and go, got up and went. Still, though, this would be day three with no discernible exercise… and that’s simply not an option!
So instead of throwing myself at the local gym as usual, I’m going to do my beloved 2.4 mile circle walk and lift weights in the basement. I’m pretty certain that shouln’t overtax myself…which brings me to the real topic of this post.
Sometimes your body and your mind will shriek two separate, distinct, non-intersecting entities with regards to health. They really will! Your mind wants you to neverSayDie and press forward no matter how idiotic it might be… while your body chortles in hysterical glee, saying, over my comatose body, which is quite a climb!
In my humble opinion….you should just about always listen to your body first and foremost if you’re ill. Beating yourself up while you’re sick as a dog might simply cause a relapse in the future, resulting in more down-time than if you had taken honest care of yourself in the very beginning.
Tomorrow is always another day. If you’re too ill to workout today, give yourself permission to heal. You can always tackle things when you’re back to the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed self you normally are.
Enjoy,
Barbara
