I wasn't surprised this morning when I woke up and realized I had caught a bad cold! It's almost comical! I have had and have a huge stress load from various sources and the sum of these has broken down my immune system and after a few bad nights sleep, the cold breaks out. When I don't give my body the opportunity to rest and recover it immediately punishes me, bam! And I am grateful! Grateful because I am so sensitive and because I know how my body works.
Now I will respect my mind and body more and take care of myself properly this weekend! There will be lots of love, good music, wonderful food and quiet walks, preferably in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I can't influence the last one, I can only hope! And next week I will try to stress less. Now it's time for a vitamin C boost, manuka honey and Echinacea before bedtime.
Thought of the day:
How do you take care of yourself when your immune system fails?
This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!
With love, Johanna.
