Body Talk

Stress isn’t, in and of itself, a bad thing.  Stress motivates us to stop procrastinating, get our work done & push through to achieve our goals. It’s what makes us sit down and study for that final exam.  In small doses and for a short time, stress is a good thing. It becomes a problem when we are under too much stress and when it’s constant. 

It's very important that we pay attention to our bodies & listen to what our bodies are saying to us.  I learned about 5 years ago, the hard way, how to listen to my body.  Right after a team meeting I began feeling horrible.  I was taken to the ER by my husband & diagnosed as having pneumonia.  When speaking with my doctor I asked how could that have happened.  She mentioned when I feel that I need rest I MUST stop to take rest.  If I don't then my body will DECIDE that it needs rest.  And that DECISION could lead to my being in the bed for 2 weeks.  When I reflect on that time I was under extreme stress & constant anxiety.

Today, let's make a commitment to each other to listen to our bodies.  I gift you a rose for making the commitment to listen to your body.  :)
