At present, my mobility only really allows for short flat walks. There are pains and aches in my ankles, knees, hips, back and shoulder making walking difficult.
Most of these chronic pain issues evade the tests, scans and procedures I’ve had carried out at hospitals, leaving doctors and other healthcare professionals perplexed.
Naturally, from experiencing years of poor health, I have looked elsewhere for answers and found some.
From my own view and lived experience, I believe that disease and dysfunction are caused by stress. Not just stress from being overworked. But the toxins we encounter in our foods and environments. From supressing feelings on a daily basis. From not being our authentic selves - just to fit in. From living in the past and future. From believing we are separate from the world around us. The list goes on.
Recently, I have approached wellness by playfully reducing stress across the board. And despite carrying multiple injuries and discomfort, I generally feel good energetically and more in control of my health.
Some changes I have made involve counselling, taking the time to process past/current emotions, learning about chakra balancing, saying no more often, meditating on interconnectedness, singing and joining a choir (big up ), going outside a little more, smiling, doing further teacher training, and prioritising being myself.
I feel optimistic that my health will continue to respond positively to this. Let’s see.
Here are a few photos taken in the Langdales last weekend. I am aiming to post a little less on here but with honest offerings when I do. ☺️
