What are your body's warning signs for your spiritual, physical, mental, social health?
For me I begin to notice that I'm not journaling...or i'm not spending time in silence...
I'll notice that it's harder for me to get motivated to work out and/or eat healthy...
I'll also notice that I'll be shaking until I find a piece of chocolate
I'll have some type of blow up with a friend or myself....
I'll cry at a drop of a penny/dime/dollar...
I'll not be able to make it through my workout...
I'll say that I'm really tired ... and then repeat it.
What do you do with those warning signs? I have to pay attention to them and listen to them.
It is hard for me to actually take those signs seriously...it's sometimes easier to keep moving in the same direction and make the same decisions. I guess that's what discipline is about. So hard.
So this week I'd like to journal, be in silence...cry when I need to...listen to my emotions when I just want chocolate...step back from situations that make me want to blow up....etc.
What about you? Warning signs....and what do you do with them?
I get a lot of those too. If stress is really bad I get a subtle eye twitch. It drives me crazy. That's when I know I need to slow down, breathe, and rest.
ReplyDeleteI start to get really stiff in my shoulders and neck... that happens when I'm stressed or irritated. I find it very hard to workout when I'm feeling stressed like that.
