Day 8 of #strala30--Blessings

10/24/2016

0 Comments

 
Today, I spent a bit of time thinking about the blessings Candida and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) have brought to my life...
-
Yep, I said blessings. Learning to practice ease has helped me breathe into all the things I encounter in my life, both the good and bad. The good is easy to breathe into, it's the hard stuff which gets me all tense and constricted. But somehow, the hard stuff has the ability to teach us more than the good stuff ever does.
-
So, thinking about my blessings in the mess, here's what I came up with:
-
*I now cook all of my meals (I know exactly what's going on each and every meal)
*lots of veggies (I used to not eat that many)
*I pay attention to where my food comes from/where it's sourced
-
So, aside from food:
-
*My creativity has started to return. I carry a journal with me and jot down ideas for poems or reflections.
*I hear my intuition so much better. In fact, I think it's the first time I can really hear it speak to me.
-
So, while I've gritted my teeth along the way, fighting these health issues and spent a lot of time wondering "why me", practicing ease has allowed me to see the tense issues in a different way.
-
How do you view your challenges? Do you see them as blessings? Or just things to get through? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
