What is my body asking for or needing right now?

  • k'Care-Reena

    WHAT IS MY BODY ASKING FOR OR NEEDING RIGHT NOW?

    My body is asking to sleep right now honestly however I am in need of some genuine look and companion and I am happy to say I am adopting my own dog very soon!!! I am aware I dont need a do for that however for yrs I have been told I can not have one and I am able to detect what is right for me and what I should and should not do. I am grateful for that alone. 🙂

    i think we should listen to our body, like listening to every one . we shouldn’t treat our body like machine we should treat it like a soul and determined what it need , needs different from person to another i need eat or love you need another thing and so on ….

  • Mike

    Sleep. Good night. 🙂

  • Tilly

    Acceptance that my body is in a state of healing and that it needs to be listened to attentively without being overcareful.

  • Debra

    Self-care with all the gusto I can muster!

  • Anonymous

    Please make sobriety the priority pronto pal!

  • Elaine

    To…
    You put your right foot in
    You put your right foot out
    You put your right foot in
    And you shake it all about
    You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around
    Cause… that’s what it’s all about!

    A cup of coffee, a walk and somehow saving all the folks in disasters of climate change today and our friends in Afghanistan. Yet I know I cannot reach them . I can bring flowers and food to my friends here in need today in my hometown. Three going through medical issues to support them and give them love. One human to another.

  • Lauryn

    Happiness, Love, respect. My heart is hurting now.

  • dcdeb

    Proper nutrition; grounding and earthing

    Right now my body is askIng to take of myself mentally, to be grateful, to relax, live the present, listen to my ruminations, but to let them go and enjoy the moment. If I don’t do this, my body’s health will suffer…

  • Linda

    It is asking for a WALK! I have been slacking off of my walking for no good reason, and today I started back up. Sigh–so easy to justify not doing what is good for me…

  • GregC

    Intimate human contact with love.

  • Deborah

    Appreciation, respect, and compassion. My body does so much and is incredible. Yet, I still put it down and abuse it. It takes it and still magically pushes through. It is quite amazing. It asks that I smile with gratitude at my physical uniqueness, with respect by movement balanced with rest and with compassion by letting go of the negative narrative and shower it with some loving thoughts

  • Nelson

    My body has been asking for rest. It’s also been asking to doing calming things, like more restorative yoga. Lately, the amount of work has been good but stressful to meet deadlines. Yesterday, I went with my friends on a hike. It felt good to slow down.

  • Mica

    It says, ‘You woke up at 5 am this morn to check for a tech support email for the software from England, and now I want to go to sleep! How can I do that??’

  • Cathie

    My body is asking that I figure out what is causing it’s back pain these past few weeks. I am doing my tried and true physical remedies and anti-inflamatories but if it does not resolve, I suppose I will need to get a medical opinion.

    • Mica

      Bummer, Cathie – I like to wear layers of close fitting shirts to keep my back warm when it hurts, but indeed it makes sense to get a medical opinion! Warm wishes to you –

  • Patricia

    Continued care, healthy unprocessed food, walking in the woods and maybe more upper body strength training. My body asks for my daily appreciation and recognition of how much its doing all the time, deep inside, where its processes are invisible to me. It’s astonishing in its complexity. Thank you, dear body.

    What a remarkable question!

    These past weeks I have been facing headwinds. So my physical body has been called to help me push through the resistance, like the forecasters standing on the shoreline in a storm, And my body is sending me all kinds of signals that it is time for a rest. That the batteries are low, gauges are indicating contradictory data and therefore unreliable. And also all with this sense of foreboding. So the answer is I have no idea.
