Last week, before Greenbelt, I was advised ............
You may know I have had bouts of Gout.
Crippling me in several times in 2010 and 2011 but not now.
But I still have symptoms like twisted ankle feelings, cramps, aching legs, red spots on my nose.
I take meds on occasions for this when I get symptoms BUT..........
Last week I was advised I can't keep the pace I am doing
because my kidneys are not processing my adrenalin
which means the acid is going to the extremities -
but eventually will work there way up ...........!!
It dawned on me that it is not the gigs I do which is the problem.
It is my inbox which stresses me. Always so much to do.
I return home/office/always present and I don't have a day off!
SO the first time in my life I need a new strategy to keep heathy!
I have decided to take two days off each week from now.
AND I need to decide on new patterns of living too.
I have had two days off this week following Greenbelt!!
Last week I burst my bubble with the help of a health adviser.
I have been saying for years that I don't know what sort of person I will be
when I can't do what I love to do -
working with people training/group work/facilitation/youth-work etc..
Last week I burst that bubble and realised that::
I have to decide MYSELF
what sort of person I need to be.
The problem is - I am not good and don't enjoy many things others do -
Golf, gardening etc..
I never read fiction (other than Jack Reacher!) and read non-fiction less than ever - even though it feeds me.
So I nee to decide how to live my life differently.
Watch this space!
I talked about this in my workshop at Greenbelt last week.
I was asking others present to share
one ABILITY
and
one DISABILITY
I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to get in touch with a vulnerability
Share it
and feel the experience of being real about ourselves - because we ALL have DISABILITIES.
I comes from my understanding that we can only work on our wholeness - our becoming ..........
If we are able to share vulnerabilities rather than hide behind a mask of - 'I am OK thanks ........'
I shared my latest/recent health vulnerability.
The session was recorded and can be downloaded here::
I have not heard it myself yet - only the preview you can hear!
Thanx for listening to these clicks.
Why don't you tell me one Ability and One Disability?
or
if not me .......................... SOMEONE.
It is a great experience and step along the way ........ a Human Becoming ....................??
