Listen to Your Body

Mar 31, 2022

Have you ever had little whispers from your body and you ignore them until you are forced to listen?

Well... that's me right now. Over the last few weeks I have felt low in energy and run down but kept telling myself, "three more weeks until the end of school term, then you can rest." 

I've been teaching the Earth Program in schools as well as guiding the adult version online. Some days, I am doing a movement practice four times a day when I am recommending to my clients they do one!

I'm also trying to fit in hair clients when I can, as well as Thai yoga massage, Reiki clients, filming online yoga classes, face to face yoga, trying to be a good Mum and partner.....As my daughter would say, "What tha?" EXACTLY! Something had to give, and that was my body.  

I chose to ignore my body telling me to stop and pushed through, up until three days ago when I had no choice but to take sick leave and rest. Overnight I got hit with a fever, sweats, headache, sore throat, and coughing like crazy. (Don't worry, it wasn't "the virus") but it's been rough.

The reason I am sharing  this with you, is that we all have a tendency to ignore our body's gentle nudges sometimes. Then, when we get sick, or we start feeling really crappy emotionally we're like, "gosh darn it I should've listened!!

Funny enough, I drew a guidance card this morning and guess what it said?

"Listen to your body, it tells you when you are out of balance."

Anyways, I have been sleeping lots over the past few days and giving my body some much needed rest and care. 

It's not until you are unwell, you get clarity on where you need to change things up in your life to bring about more balance. 

This term was actually the last term I will be teaching in schools for now. (My body nearly made it). hehe. I've got some new and exciting things on the horizon that I can't wait to share with you all!!

I am about to reschedule my life so I feel more balanced, have more time to focus on family time, and to reignite a great passion of mine. I'm excited for this new chapter and for you to be coming along with me for the ride. Let's chase our dreams and become ALL that we were meant to be in this life!! You with me?

Anyways that's it from me for now. I'm going to heat up some vege soup that my Mum made me.

Take care, and listen to the whispers your body is trying to communicate to you. Listen up, it knows best. 

 

Stay healthy, happy & strong.

Loads of love,
