I finally gave up and thought I should just listen to my
body. I had a tough time refusing to ice-creams offered by my loved ones on my
India trip. (In India, food is “The way” you show affection towards someone.
That’s the way you pamper someone, especially if you are meeting the person
after a long time. )
In the meantime my knee pain had got worse. I decided and
visited a doctor nearby. The doctor advised me not to have cold things. COLD
THINGS!!!???? So no ice-creams, no cold drinks …. He also advised me to keep
myself warm and not to expose myself to cold weather + plus some rest to my
knees till they heal.
I was already avoiding cold things and cold weather. Thank
you, body! J J I was stunned and full
gratitude at the same time! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!©©©
But, I was not giving rest to my knees at all while it
needed it badly L L
Now after approximately one month of resting and listening
to my body, my knee is still healing and the process is on. (I am also feeding
myself with natural sources of calcium – like unhusked sesame seeds and
ensuring that I spend at least 15 mins in sun to get natural vitamin D)
Moral of the story – “Your body knows even what your mind
doesn't. So, first follow the instructions of your body and then, if you wish
to, you can search for the logic behind it.”
I'd been experiencing headaches since I was a kid (since I was 8yrs old I guess). My headache became worse whenever I went out in sun, be it for a day or for half-an-hour. At the age of 9 the doc told me it is because of sinusitis and that I'm too young for an operation. So i continued with my allopathic medication for sinusities until I found out I was suffering from migraine (I was 15 then).
ReplyDeleteChocolates and cheese are something I can't resist. Whenever I saw anyone having it I used to get tempted to have it. But to my dismay Chocolates and cheese in any form were strict 'NO' for me .
My headaches became a regular uninvited guests. Allopathic medication wasn't working for me. So, finally I decided to switch on to Ayurveda with a ray of hope in my heart. But things weren't changing for good.
Finally I started listening to my body. I slumbered for sufficient number of hours, had food on time, practiced deep breathing exercises, kept myself away from distressing things and looked after myself with care and positive attitude along with the medication. I listened to my body and didn't do anything to which my body wasn't comfortable.And now it has been 5months since I've had my meds. Yes you have heard it right!! Because now I don't need them at all. :) But that doesn't mean that I have stopped listening to my body. :)
