Walking&thinking - Actifit journals (07.02.2019.) - boycotting being sick

Just as I thought that I was getting better, nope, not really :D It was only a brief distraction apparently, from getting worse. But, on the plus size, this is the first time that I am sick and **happy**. Not angry or sad about it. I do not care. My body is sick, not my mind and definitely not my spirit. Luckily, I am not that sick to not have my day as I would have if I was healthy. I did almost everything I planned, **including my walks**.

After experimenting with healthy pancakes with buckwheat flour and coconut oil a couple of days ago, today I made a soup with buckwheat seeds and porcini mushrooms. Buckwheat and oat are really becoming my favorite things in the kitchen lately. As for my health, I took some more vitamins, minerals, plants dried and plants fresh just as some medication for my throat. There is a big day tomorrow because I am going with my friend for her to buy a house and we are both excited about it. I am happy she chose me to be there with her while she signs the papers and I want to be healthy and better than today.

My morning walk was normal and long as usual but the evening one was a bit harder so I made it shorter. I started to feel my fever rising and felt pretty tired fast. Everything was fine up until then. The day was going fine with everything I had been doing but I guess that second walk was more than my sick body could handle. Lesson learned. Next time when I get sick, one walk is all I can handle so one walk it is. There is no need to push myself beyond healthy limits, right? The funny things is, I was feeling bad in the morning but **the walk helped me to feel better**. The endorphins and all the other happy and healthy chemicals must have risen in my brain and body and made the pain go away. By the end of the day, as I have gotten more tired, they could not rise that much again lol. I need some rest I admit it, and I promise I will get some.

As I have already said, this sick time is different than all before it. I am usually a very cranky sick person because I hate the loss of power and control. I get angry because I feel useless and because I can not do the things I want to and I get even angrier if my body is not listening to me and refuses to breathe and behave the normal way. This time is not like that. I am super happy and optimistic and dancing and singing (trying to sing anyway, I have a sick deep voice). It is like I am telling my body that if it wants to be sick, so be it but my mind will not follow it on that ride lol. My day was normal like I was not ick, I did almost everything that I would usually do so if anyone asks, I am boycotting being sick. On the plus side, I did say that I would be healthy in 3 days and I am on day 3 so fingers crossed that all I have been doing worked and I will be my normal self tomorrow.
