I am far from having everything figured out. But if there’s one thing my twenty-six years of existence has taught me, it’s to listen to my body<\/u>. Four years ago<\/a>, I would’ve pushed myself to my breaking point before slowing down. I know better now. Take that, germs!<\/i> I lost one day but at least I won’t be losing a week. The doctor said stress may be aggravating my sinusitis, hence the piercing headaches behind my eyebrows. I know I should stop worrying about things not in my immediate future, but I can’t. Maybe it’s another sign of growing older, this want of control over what’s to come. Funny enough, it goes full circle. When I’m having trouble with decisions or my courage to follow through falls short, I just need to pay attention to my breath and listen to my gut.
