Listen

It is amazing the ability we have to snap back into place. I am still irritated and annoyed, but have my mindset in a much better place and  have chalked up the high emotional state to PMS, as I have noticed an urge for sweets, mostly chocolate, which I normally do not have--the calendar shows I am a little ahead for PMS, but I am of the age where my body is preparing itself for menopause, while at the same time easily equipped to carry and bare a child. And if not that, I need to watch my sugar--at this point I will just cut it down for a bit and continue to listen.
It is funny how in tune I am to my body now. My mom taught me that before she died. She actually tried to teach me that my whole life, but I was too hard-headed and too caught up in things of the world to listen. I was slowly working my way into "getting it", then got thrown into a quick-study program via life after I had my son and right before my mom was suddenly given a few months to live.
Knowing how to listen to to your body can be done in a common sense way-such as being able to feel a invisible small weight pushing down in the middle of your back and knowing to  prepare to fight off a bug--extra vitamins, fluids, sleep and dressing correctly for the environment may push it off. Common sense listening to your body is understanding what caused your headache, knowing how much sleep you need, knowing when your body needs a salad and knowing when emotionally you are due for some comfort food and to not feel guilty about it. (Listening to your intuition and so on, kind of falls into those same lines, but on a different level--and it really requires a post of it's own--at best, several--so I need to remember, on the days I have nothing to write about, to come back to this topic.)
Anyway, long story short, I am in good spirits again, just back in from a long day out, have homework still to do, bills to figure out and so on. And it is late. I really feel like typing about intuition, and maybe take some other avenues, but I can't--all in good time.
