When I got sick, I had been ignoring my body for probably years. I would observe the thought, the symptom, but it would fly thru my brain with the speed of light. I missed all the signals that my body was sending to me. Right down to getting up feeling lousy and wondering what that was.
Well the 2×4 came down and I got so sick I couldn’t function. It truly was screaming. I don’t want that for any of you. It was a deep hole to climb back out of.
And for those of you reading this who don’t know, I had 3 autoimmune diseases (Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, IBS, and…..I had Type II Diabetes with an A-1c of 7.4, my feet were tingling severely, and….ends up, I also had a fatty liver. And I was obese. (Eating as fast as I was working all day, whatever was fast and easy)
What happens when you ignore your body is that the chronic diseases multiply, and sometimes the list also includes cancer.
Trust me, you DON”T want to go there.
I learned that not only should I get quiet and listen to my body, but that it was very smart.
Now that i have reversed all of my conditions and lost 80 pounds I have returned to wellness. It took 10 years.
I ask it now every morning how does it feel? What does it want from me? What can I do for it? And I pay attention.
Its how I now show gratitude to my body for screaming at me, and its how I show my body love.
It was the beginning of my growth into self-love. It was the beginning of my journey back to wellness.
And here’s the thing. Absolutely nothing about my life is the same today. Nothing.
Its not that my life was terrible before I got sick. I had a successful business (but bankrupted my body). I was in a relationship, but i was the pleaser, and giving what he needed but not getting what I needed. I had tons of wonderful supportive friends. I was traveling the world. My friends all thought I had an exciting amazing life.
But I felt super lousy. So what good was that?
Everything is 100% better today and…..best of all I am so happy. Joy is how I get up in the morning. I have the right partner for me. I have purpose and can’t wait to share every day what I have learned. Life is amazing. My life is a miracle. And I feel great!
I want that for you. Raise your frequency, let your love, compassion and kindness out to yourself and then to the world.
And life a life filled with joy too. Give your body respect, and love and LISTEN TO IT. It will be brutally honest with you. And then you can find your way back up to the light.
