Waking Up to Body Betrayal: How to Find Peace in the Pain

Waking Up to Body Betrayal: How to Find Peace in the Pain17 May16 min

Is your body letting you down, or have you been sold that story? Mine is not the enemy. It has always told me exactly what it needed, and I did not always listen.

Every morning is like this for me at the moment, so I do feel it. But we have been handed a story where the body is the opposition. It is not. It is the mind, the body, the toes, the fingers, the knees, all in it together. We ignore the soldiers doing the work, then get angry the moment anything goes wrong. Thank you for being my companion.

One thing to try: Say thank you to one part of your body that has been doing its job unnoticed.
