How does it feel to be sick at this time of year?
Ask me! It feels pathetic. I wait the whole year for this time and my trip starts monday morning exactly on christmas day with my best buddies to some hill station in Himachal Pradesh in India, which are himalayan outskirts, but i am not well at all, but i really want to go :(. All the bookings are done and if i do not go i will have to wait an year which is way too much to think of. :(:(:(
But you know its all my fault and i deserve it because i take my health too lightly always
Blessings of Almighty, i get ill and recover fast since childhood. Health has never hampered my life much, but too sad to be true, i take my health for granted. At times i feel cold, i go with the "i dont care" attitude. At times i am sick but i donot care about giving my body some rest and as a perfect result of my taken-for-granted attitude toward my body, i am in bad condition while i am writing this.
Here is how i did this to myself :
Tuesday night 1am, i rode a bike in 7 degree celsius without enough warmers on my body and my mind was conscious of the cold my body was feeling still i chose to ignore and stay in attitude "live your life like its your last day" and rode the bike 40 good long minutes having fun like ever.
What then?
Nothing, i was happy, i slept and woke up with a hangover-like-heavy-head next morning without even drinking a drop.
Again i ignored the cold, and washed my long hairs. The temperature was 11 degrees Celsius that day and i roamed the market 4 hours feeling cold due to my wet hairs shopping gifts crazily for my office event. Then i borrowed my junior's jacket who was with me in the market, still i was feeling cold all over my body and continued to shop.
Then what?
I came home, dressed up pretty, went out again, came back home 1am, feeling more cold.
That was all my body could take.
Next morning i wake up with swollen gums, cough, high fever, body ache.
It all started on Tuesday night and i went to doctor on friday evening.
How crazy is this?
Now i think about the whole thing i did to my body, i feel totally disappointed with myself. What kind of human does this? and then complains oh no i have a trip upcoming :(
Although now i am taking good care of myself since i am home, and been saying Sorry to God too, for we should appreciate it while we have it.
The only faulty thing here is my taken-for-granted attitude towards my body. The suffering is bad right now and i have promised myself to never ignore myself ever again. Whats the point of "you live only once" when you are harming your body(the place where your soul resides)?
I will not be able to enjoy my year's trip this time for sure even if i make it going there. I will be eating really selectively, i will not be drinking at all, traveling will be harder, i will be packed in clothes, i think this is enough to make me sad. But all i can try doing is going if i feel like otherwise i won't and will try in January and wait for next year's Christmas.
To all my steemit friends, just want to emphasize take the BEST CARE OF YOUR BODY AND YOUR HEALTH. Nothing comes Primary but the place where your soul lives, your body.
With Love :
Yours That Indian Lady
