My Whole Body Aches
When extreme fatigue hits me especially just prior to my menstrual cycle my legs become weak, but I get joint pain, making it hard to go up and down the stairs. But lately I have beating this fatigue and fight it and win as I become present in my day because when I am present and not thinking of how my body felt in prior years with the fatigue symptoms and fibromyalgia extreme fatigue feelings of joint pain, sore muscles, extended periods of fatigue that lasted and didn’t go away with longer periods of rest, swollen lymph glands, and not sleep well, where all symptoms of fatigue & fibromyalgia I felt.
Being Present In My Day
When I’m present and totally focused on the activity that I am doing, whether it is looking after the kids or doing chores around the house. My mind is there and not giving the energy to the thoughts that I am thinking. Like my legs are sore, need to sit down, need a rest, I’m not going to get through the day. The kids need my attention and I can’t give it, my legs aren’t strong enough to go for a walk. I need help…….All these thoughts
enter my mind as a heavy wind that just comes up and engulfs my attention and my energy and what happens is that my body reflects what I’m thinking, but each month when my menstrual cycle comes up I’ve been practicing and fighting back my aches and pain, discomfort, extreme fatigue by not giving those thoughts any attention and switching them around to better thoughts and actions. This mainly means being present in what I’m doing and not fighting fatigue any longer. And being grateful of shutting down fatigue thoughts and enabling me to go for a walk with my two children.
