Your body sends constant signals, telling you what’s good for you and what’s not working. It has an inner guidance system that tries to get you to pay attention to any adjustments you need to make in your life. For example, your headache and tense shoulders may be a sign of an unresolved issue that’s causing you distress. Inconvenient as they are, these pains are your allies, begging you to look up and see what’s not working in your life. It’s easy to become too busy and ignore any discomfort in our bodies until it becomes worse. Don’t ignore potentially important messages from your body!

Emotional and physical well-being depend on the balance between giving and receiving. The receiving can also come from you, by paying closer attention to your body and your emotions. Remember the safety instruction when you fly: “If there is lack of oxygen put the mask on yourself first before putting it on the minor.” Taking care of yourself is not just good for you, but it is also the beneficial for your family.
