Our body acts on instinct. If there’s a flash, we blink. If we’re startled, we jump. If something is hot, we drop it.
Yes, we can control our instincts to a certain degree – but isn’t it interesting how we’ve developed systems that are meant for immediate protection, often before thoughts even reach the brain?
Intuition is a similar phenomenon – it’s having a sense of a situation before there’s any concrete reason to believe, bypassing conscious reasoning. And often it’s intuition that separates a good life from a great one.
Your body has a way of speaking to you. Before a disc slips out of place, a person may notice their back becomes tired more easily, their body isn’t moving as it once did, things don’t feel right. But time passes, things go untreated and then – “Ow!” – the pain comes. In many cases hindsight will bring 20/20 vision. If only you’d listened to that little voice saying things weren’t right. If only you’d trusted your body’s intuition.
The body speaks aloud and we need to listen. If you start feeling fatigued, depressed, bored, agitated – please, please keep in mind that this isn’t how you should be. Too many people accept the body’s messages instead of acting on them. They live with the pain instead of being activated to correct the problem.
Swallowing an allergy pill or an Aspirin will help stop immediate symptoms. But there’s more going on, much deeper and beyond the obvious, that needs to be addressed. Maybe your home has developed mold? Maybe you’ve been overworked and need to take a break? Maybe your body is lacking vital nutrients?
Pay attention to your body’s messages. Even if the words “sick as a dog” aren’t spelled across your forehead, your body will communicate when things are good and when they’re going bad. You’ll hear its voice by the way you feel.
Don’t forget to listen. When you feel good, figure out why. How can that feeling continue? When you feel bad, figure out why again. If you cannot understand the problem, visit someone who can help explain. That’s what we doctors are here for, after all.
Message for today: use your physical intuition and listen to what your body is saying.
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? How does your body communicate with you? Do you have any stories where your intuition helped stop a problem before it became worse? We’d love to hear from you, so please share your comments.
Until next week!
