Be happy & healthy

I have been out of commission for the past few days, couch bound and useless. My body has forced me to slow down and my brain has been in a complete fog. As someone who typically doesn’t take medication, I’m so grateful that my meds have kicked in. Sweet relief. Being forced to spend time at home is not easy for me, but it has made me realize how un-freakin-believably grateful I am for my health. It also made me realize that sometimes I need to stop. Stop everything! No guilt attached. This forced me to rely on others- which I’m not great at. The universe basically said “enough is enough” and I actually listened. Although I did not prepare a rant for this week (because my brain is mush)- this is my advice to you:

Listen to your body. Pay attention to your mind. If it is telling you you’re running on empty and need to step back. Do it. This is not a self-care rant but a serious demand for self- protection. Somehow we have become a society that rewards being busy and chaotic and it is doing more harm than good. Do not fall into this trap. Doing what your body and mind needs to thrive should be our ultimate goal; not over scheduling the precious time we have here.

I am going back to my couch now to relax and appreciate feeling better. I am sorry if did not respond to emails or texts or what have you. I am putting myself first. For once.

Stay happy & healthy,
Jamiesonxo
