Eating and resting the body well does rejuvenate the spirit. I don’t know how many times I’ve been told to eat well and stop polluting my body. But do I ever listen to my own body, let along others who take notice of me?
I’ve been reading articles on how to detoxify the body and cleanse the liver. I’ve put on these extra pounds (thanks to my good eating from Maw’s cooking and lack of good exercise) and those are now located in my thighs and buttocks.
These past few weeks I now have this very hot, red dry skin that leads to rashes and such. It’s annoying but I have been hydrating with plenty of liquid, which happens to be my daily coffee habit and bottled waters, along with juice of orange or lemon found in the refrigerator at home. I tried taking hot showers, use strong soaps and scrub the affected areas with pumice stone but to no avail.
Frequent rests and sleep are something that I do well without practice. I’ve noticed that when I eat too much carbohydrate I tend to get sleepy as the blood from my brain leaves to digest food below. Or if I get those occasional energy drains from unknown sources, I get sleepy and have to lie down.
So this day my window was wide open and that crisp, clean air billowed into my bedroom and allowed for the almost entire day of rest. How does she do it? It’s easy when there is no distraction or care in the world for this very spoiled brat, which I am.
So it’s up to my big brain to start the computer programming of living well and being kinder to myself.
