I’ve been struggling with one of those annoying summer colds. It wasn’t as bad as a prolonged bout with the flu but frustrating. I haven’t felt well enough to get out into the beautiful summer weather. I’m finally starting to feel better and today I’ll begin to get back on track. But I’m taking it slow – a life lesson I’ve learned from my own protocol. And of course I did a lot of thinking about ME/CFS/SEID while I was sick.It was easy to taste once again the cruelty of that nightmare as I struggled with a ‘flu’ that wouldn’t let go of me.
So I’ve thought about self-care and the poor quality of it in my life. I seem to be marginally taking care of myself. Honestly, a health coach would give me a grade of C minus. I know better and yet I’m not doing the right things. I don’t know if it’s human nature or nurture, but as long as we can get away with not caring for ourselves, we don’t. Then something happens. When our health is threatened, we pay attention.
Fresh off a this cold, I’m paying attention. And at least right now, I plan to stay on top of it. I deserve better self-care than I’ve been getting from myself.
