This often happens to me whenever I'm under some stress, or when ever I have to do something I don't want to do - my body throws a tantrum and I end up sick.
It's almost as if my body is saying to my mind - 'We're not going to do this, and if you make me, we're going to get sick and I won't let you do it anyway'. Which is ridiculous, and I guess isn't really true, its just more a case of being run down and then getting sick - not my body conspiring against me - although it does feel like that today.
Usually I struggle into work and soldier on, yes, am one of those people - who like to reserve their sick days for mini vacations - but then I never end up taking said mini breaks because I'm too busy - so all it means is that I work while I'm sick.
But today, I'm not going in. And what it also means is that last night while I was supposed to be dealing with a certain issue (J), I wasn't... I was posting on vox and laying on the couch wondering if I was really sick or it was my psychosomatic way of avoiding making the phone call. It wasn't I'm still sick.
I'm not surprised I've gotten sick. Apart from the body attacking the mind theory, there is another reason apart from the regular stresses... have been doing this weird diet thing where instead of eating all 3 meals, have been having meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch.
Now, its not because I'm all weight obsessed, or anything like that, it was more because I needed to do a bit of a detox, but then, the meal replacements were so easy - you don't think about what you'll have for lunch, go for a walk and get it, eat it in a park or something relaxing - no you just drink it at your desk and you're able to keep working. Hmmmnnn, even typing this I realise it doesn't sound like my smartest move. So I think after a month of these shakes, my body might be trying to tell me to stop it and eat some real food.
And get some sleep...
