Today I am featured as blogger on Chronic Migraine Awareness website. Please go support them as we try to raise awareness about these poorly understood and researched conditions. Mita’s Story
The next little bit of my life is gonna be about me and I’m not caring what anyone else has to say about it 🤷🏻♀️ (I know you’re all thinking, isn’t it already!? 🙄) hear me out. Taking a little bit of time off of work has been on my mind for a while, but I LOVE my job. I love my job. I’d be there everyday if my body would allow me. But, I’ve finally made the move and I’m gonna rest. I’m gonna make all my Dr’s appts. I’m gonna do the yoga. And drink the smoothies. And just rest. Because that’s what my body needs right now. 3 days off just now has left me with maaaybe a headache that’s maaaaybe a 1/10. There’s still pressure. But. It’s okay. I didn’t take any meds today. Just rested. I listened to my body. I’m being gentle. Sometimes listening to your body and doing what’s best for you is the hardest part. Easier said than done, right? I get it. I’m right there with ya, sis. I’ve been trying to make this decision for a year. A whole year. A whole year God’s been hearing me talk about and ask for the same thing and has been sending me signs that I’ve been ignoring 😬 but it’s okay. He’s still there and I’m finally doing something good for me other than just medicating and going on about my life. I’ve had multiple talks with my ladies. About everything I could think of. And they supported me through. And I am so grateful. You just have to take that first step. Whatever it may be. You know it’s gonna be hard for you, but just know you’ve got an army of supporters behind you who want what’s best for you. You’re not alone. And of course, remember, 💕 #migraineawareness#Migrainewarrior
