Feeling Ill Makes me Grateful for Health

May 27, 2023

I'm quite sick at the moment, with terrible nausea. Moments like this remind me that health is the foundation of everything.

Without my health, achieving anything would be 10 times harder. Therefore, this is a time to reflect on how lucky I am to be healthy.

Here are some of the thoughts I've been having:

-   Gratitude

-   While I'm sick right now, all I can think is that I need to be more grateful for the fact that most days I'm feeling great.

   -   I can't wait to regain good health and appreciate the sensation of feeling good.

-   Mind Over Body

   -   Using my breath and mental strength to overcome physical discomfort.

       -   I must believe that even if a disease takes over, strong willpower can still enable a good life.

           -   Constant illness would make life so much harder, but I know it's possible.

       -   It's difficult to picture this, since I take my health for granted.

           -   I admire people who manage to build good lives despite constant disease.

-   Understanding the importance of building resilience and recognizing the power of the mind.

   -   Acknowledging that the state of mind can influence physical condition.

   -   Mind over body is real, but sometimes the body needs to do its thing.

       -   Trust the wisdom of the body.
