Listen to your body

Lately, too many health issues are surfacing. I cannot put a finger on the root cause, the issues all look so trivial. The logical thing to do is to consult the doctor. But all I am getting is stuff to curb the symptoms. One-tablet–headache-gone type of consultation. Alternately, someone told me to “listen to your body”. He said, “Observe your routine, what physical activities you do, what you eat, the mood, etc.. You will find a pattern and you will figure out that something you do/eat/think disturbs the balance in your body.” This sounds like good advice. It’s going to take a considerable amount of time but maybe it’s worth following.

Couple of days have gone by with this conscious observation routine. First observation is about how I breathe. Whenever I have noticed, I am holding my breath! For no apparent reason…just forgetting to take regular breaths. Now that is not good, isn’t it?

Sigh! A pandora’s box type of situation faces me I think. Let’s see where I go from here.
