Remarkably Aware of . . .

Scratch, scratch, scratch . . .

Yep, the poison ivy is still raging on, and I'm just about ready to jump out of my skin!!! I even went to the doctor last Thursday to get a shot. It didn't help - ugh!!

It's frustrating when our bodies don't cooperate with us for one reason or another. Isn't it? And over this last week and a few days now, I have really become Remarkably aware of how vital our physical well-being plays in our overall well-being.

With all the rash, I haven't been able to exercise; I haven't been sleeping well at all; and worst of all, I haven't been able to sit for more than a few minutes to actually concentrate on any one thing without the intense urge to adjust, wiggle, or gently rub some infected area on my body. My body is simply demanding attention and my mind is following orders!

What is your body telling YOU these days? Is it supporting you to reach your goals, dreams, and objectives or are you trying to ignore the "itch" and function anyway?

For me, I know many times I've tried to ignore my physical side and claim the "mind over matter" motto. The truth - unless we are taking really good care of our bodies, we will NEVER be able to function at our maximum potential. NEVER!!

Hmmm . . . definitely something to think about.

Remarkable people give their bodies the honor and respect it deserves to function at its best. No excuses. (I'm off to take another hot shower and some Benadryl!! : )
