I’m coming to a conclusion on a lot of things right now. That’s even one of my intentions this month, to close out some of the work and projects I’ve been doing. An example is the shadow journal I was working through; I finished the last entry a few days ago.
I get sick about once a month on average. Sometimes that goes up, sometimes it goes down. Sometimes it’s driven by anxiety. And sometimes it’s just, you get a bug, and you get sick. I’m tired of posting about when I get sick and how much I hate it.
I don’t know if it’s going to be a project, or just a thing I learn to accept. But if I have some kind of agency over things, I’d like to stop getting sick so often. I don’t like being the kind of sick where I have to rest anymore. I want to release sick days from my life.
While at the same time being wise enough to take the sick day when I’m sick. That was a big lesson for me, learning to stop and slow down and let myself rest. I think I’ve learned that lesson, now.
I already know how to push through when I’m sick, a practice I’ve let go of. I also now know how to rest. What I want to know is if there’s a world where I just don’t get sick as often. Losing weight this last year has coincided with a dramatic reduction in the amount of times I catch a cold or feel awful.
But once a month on average still feels like a lot. In the meantime, I’m gonna lay on the couch, read, and take a nap.
Hope your day is good!
