Sorry I was out yesterday. I either had food poisoning or the flu.. we aren't sure which. It was sort of a miserable day. I was up at four getting sick and when I went back to bed I didn't wake back up until ten am. Then, when I woke up, I woke up to the dog's tornado that destroyed a whole bunch of stuff in the house. So, to clean up that mess. Then sick again, back to sleep.. Dogs got sick from eating part of a leather couch.. I got sick cleaning it up.. etc. You get it. I don't think I have ever felt worse in my life...
And yet, I woke up this morning feeling better than I have in a couple weeks. Sure, my tummy is still queasy, but my body isn't sore, I'm not stressed about what I forgot to do at work, and I feel extremely rested and ready to go with the day.
Now, I am not encouraging you to go get sick and be miserable. I am, however, encouraging you to take a random day off every once in a while. The pace the world moves at now-a-days is extremely unnatural and with all the stress and little sleep we get, we are harming our bodies but too busy to realize it. If you have vacation days, or even if you don't, take a day and just say ... no. No to the world, no to your job, no to getting out of bed. Trust me, your body will thank you for it.
Have an issue getting yourself to relax? Try Lavender on your temples and the base of your neck. I did it to my husband the other night. I had to vigorously shake him five times to get him to wake up, and he is normally an extremely light sleeper.
Also, for a stomach ache, use peppermint. Trust me on this one! I put three drops of Peppermint essential oil in my water yesterday after I woke up the second time. About three hours later, I felt a ton better and even a little hungry. I ate a salad for dinner last night and it stayed down. :-D
