Does life seem difficult right now? You may feel depleted, heavy, and overtired. Do normal activities just feel challenging? Feeling depleted is not normal, and you don’t have to settle for feeling down or tired all of the time. You have the power to live in vital health and well-being, it just takes one thing:
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
Ignoring signs and signals that your body is sending you is like ignoring traffic signals. You can get away with it sometimes, but if you do it often there will be a negative impact.
Are you ever super tired in the evening, and you sit down to watch a show even though your body is telling you to go to sleep? A few hours and many snacks later, and much later than is healthy, you go to bed, and then, even though you are completely fatigued, you can’t fall asleep?
If this is a common occurrence for you, I have a suggestion:
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
Sit quietly for a moment and take some deep soothing breaths. Looking inward, pay close attention to your body, your body is very intelligent.
Ask yourself the following questions:
1 – How am I feeling at this moment?
2 – What can I do right now that will support my health and well-being.
If you feel tense and anxious, maybe a warm bath, or simply rubbing some lavender oil on your feet could be the answer.
If you feel tired and sluggish, maybe a quick walk outside to get some fresh air and your blood moving will get you energized.
Just a moment of mindfulness of your body’s needs will set you up for a healthier happier life.
Try it and let me know how it goes.
