Every day is a different for me having this condition does not mean 'just living with it'. It means I have to see how my body wants to be how I need to take each pain and get myself sorted out.
My spiritual work does not take a back burner it is who I am and who I want to be more of.
In preparation to become more in tune with my spirit I have become a bit more disciplined in how I treat this vessel I call my body.
Learning to listen to the rhythms and flows are so very important as it can help messure between a strong pain or a weak pain.
today I have a screaming shooting head pain that sometimes stays for longer than 10 -15 seconds but if I sit quietly and listen to my breathing and start to meditate. I am learning to become in tune with my inner soul.
Writing is so much of who I am and what I will achieve, without positivity I would not be where I am today.
I know how much fibromyalgia affects people I know and I know that together we support each other. Its about trying to let go of the stress that some times overwhelms your whole being... and in turn starts the pains in the muscles as we tighten up and try to protect ourselves from emotional pains.
I know that I may well have written this before but I feel this is an important issue and we all need to realise that its not how a person looks when they say they have a chronic illness its how they are inside and your support is seriously needed.
I know there are times when I don't get enough support and there are times when I do... but I know if I don't get out of bed every morning and have a little walk downstairs I would be stranded in bed and nothing would get done.
So I pace myself I do the dishes and tidy the counter tops down.. I sit down... have a little rest...
I do some writing like now .... and then afterwards I will have a little walk to the back door... I am setting myself different goals... I am aiming for walking up to 2 miles a day for a whole month... and taking my little dog with me. I am giving myself the task of doing small stretching exercises and I will then do what I can to get there.
