I always talk about the gut, luckily I am very in touch with when something feels right or wrong. Another sign for me is my throat, that is my weak spot, when it starts getting sore or dry, I need to tend to it right away. It is my body telling me I have not drank enough, or it might be the beginning of getting sick and I should take a break and take care of me.
Another thing that happens is when I am tired I start losing my voice, it becomes super raspy, and throughout my life if I overused it, it is really my weakest spot in my body.
So one of my friends asked me the other day if I was getting sick because my voice is definitely cracking. I started laughing and told her since I got back from my vacation with no kids, I have stopped sleeping and started yelling (lovingly of course) at my kids. So I feel great, but as soon as I got back, I jumped right into my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way, LOL.
So when my throat starts feeling off, I start drinking tea, tons of water, Ricola is great to keep it lubricated. I am also drinking my Herbalife Green Tea Concentrate every day, it is so potent because it is in a concentrated form full of whole leaves, I only use half a teaspoon. It helps boost my immune system with antioxidants, gives me natural energy, and the best part, activates the metabolism to burn 80 calories per cup - YEAH!
I try everything in my power to heal, so it does not get me sick, because I love to be busy, I need energy for my kids, I need my work to recharge. But one of my favorite quotes is:
"If you don't make time for rest and recreation, you eventually have to make time for illness."
Since I got back from my trip, it is so amazing, that everything that I have thought that I really want to happen has happened. What I am specifically talking about is my schedule. For instance last week when my mom was here, clients were also conveniently out of town. This week I had a few appointments that last minute were reschedule, so it freed me up for things that had to get done. Today is a free day, and my husband and I are taking the baby and running some important errands. Also appointments and classes that I have needed to take for checkups and re-certifications, every 2 years I have to do continued education for my yoga and personal training certifications, as well as renew my CPR. So classes just became available at the perfect time. I had the most amazing Prenatal Yoga class yesterday, so nice to get pregnant women together to feel good and talk about things that they can share in this setting, and learn from each other.
My girl is getting so big, now fully in underwear, and now to find her a big girl bed, she will be three in a month, unbelievable.
So as I am running around, I am going to try not to use my voice, save it for my three classes tonight. When I used to work on Cruise Ships, my job was to talk all the time to the passengers, and of course I talked all the time to my fellow crew members. There were times where it was really on the brink, kind of scary. The funny thing is my mom is a trained musician and singer, and I have no clue how to use my vocal muscles correctly. Luckily I have now found a career path that suits my voice, Yoga is perfect to talk soft, no strain, its just magic.
Wishing everyone a magical day,
