After Every Breakdown comes a breakthrough, so just keep swimming…

Yeah, it has been a couple of those kind of days. Full of pain. The ones where you would love a do-over. Nothing of consequence has happened.
But something is severely impacting me: Migraines. Three days of migraines, to varying degrees.

To me, a migraine feels like a dementor from Harry Potter. I feel frozen while they suck the joy and life from my body & mind, and make me feel like I’ll never be whole, happy or ok again.
Logically, of course, this is absurd, but depending on the severity, it cuts my capacity to function with clarity — or function at all. I loathe them, they feel like a potential barrier to keeping my word or doing great work in the world — creating the very worst version of me.
Fortunately this barely ever happens, I’m very blessed and grateful for that.
I know others suffer all the time. My heart feels for you if this is you.

I know there is a message from my body & mind — migraines don’t just happen for no reason. There is something I need to know and to pay attention to. Right now, I have no clue. I’ll figure out the message & take new action when my head stops pounding.

Rest. Nourish. Do your best. Keep trying. Show up. Make changes to your lifestyle when this passes. This too shall pass. Just Keep Swimming

After every breakdown, we are gifted access to a breakthrough. Make sure you always remember to look for yours, so you don’t keep learning the same lessons again and again…
