The gifts of our challenges.
When ill health strikes, we can feel so many things.
Physically, dizzy, tired, nauseas, aches and pains.
When things are working “how they are supposed to” and we feel out of control, sad, angry and hopeless.
We feel vulnerable, out of place.
Life doesn’t feel right, not how we are used to.
These health challenges, shakes us up and out of the automation of every day life.
We are forced to slow down, look after ourselves, listen to our bodies and what messages are being shared with us.
We are asked to face our fears and worries that are coming to the surface.
To be seen, acknowledged and released.
We choose what we hold onto.
And with awareness, we can choose so much more than we thought possible.
The gift is how we are perceiving what we are living through and what we do with it.
We can choose to wallow and be a victim, to life, circumstance, whatever you feel.
Or you can pull your big girl undies up (or jocks haha) and face what’s coming to the surface.
You will have some wonderful days still to come and yes, some shitty ones too.
I hope you have better ones and feel more joy than sorrow.
