Perfectly Human

When you feel tired and exhausted, it’s not your body or God’s way of saying to “stay strong and keep going.” It’s a sign that you need to slow down, take it easy, and first, get some rest.

I write this as I take a low-dose aspirin and get into bed at 4 pm. I have a connective tissue disorder/autoimmune disease, and I’ve learned that my flare-ups can be managed and will go away if I pay attention. 🧘‍♀️🕊️☮️🪷

Here’s how I quickly reset my body when It’s not cooperating.

A list of the symptoms I was experiencing at 4pm:

• Chest, neck, and shoulder pain
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Hand and arm tremors
• Leg and foot cramps
• Blurry vision in my left eye
• Pain, cramps, and tremors in lower legs and feet

My own prescription:

• Low-dose aspirin
• Flintstones Vitamin
• 36 ounces of hibiscus and rosehip tea (very high in vitamin C)
• Consume a scrambled egg (high in protein and omega fatty acids)
• Lay in bed and meditate

Results at 5pm:

• I’m back to normal and can finish up the rest of my day.

If I don’t take the time needed to care of my health, my problems will worsen, and I’ll end up in bed unable to recover quickly. One hour now saves weeks later. 🤯
