The way you described your body feeling like it 'failed' you this year really struck a chord with me. It's so easy to view our bodies as machines that are supposed to function perfectly all the time. But our bodies are wise and they communicate with us constantly. Maybe illness is our body's way of saying, 'Slow down, listen, and give me what I need.' It's a message I'm trying to learn to hear more clearly.
Wow, Sabrina. This is wonderful! "My inner Grinch." I LOVE IT. I'm sorry that you are still not feeling back up to par. Thank you for using what you're experiencing to challenge the rest of us. Please tell "Grinchy" I said, "Thank you, for helping Sabrina (and the rest of us) try to make sense of what our bodies need."
Oh gosh you have no idea how much I needed to read this today. I'm fully tapped out and having the worst chronic pain flare up I've had in years and my inner grinch has absolutely been playing up something awful. Thank you for always putting words to the things I can't so eloquently. You are wonderful! Sending you lots of love. Hope you feel better soon xx
Oh Cassie so glad it resonated and sorry you're having a chronic pain flare up. I get those too and it's very hard to navigate at times. Thinking of you and allow yourself to feel Grinchy because you've had an incredibly tough year.
Hope you feel better soon too and sending lots of love and hugs.
Oh and I'm carving out time to reply to your posts this week. Been pondering lots off the back of your wiring xxx

Absolutely Alexander. That's exactly how it came up at first which is why I wanted to get curious about that judgment.
I find my mental or existential challenges show up in my body quite directly.
It's so important to lean in and work out where to focus and give ourselves space to heal. Tricky when you also want to get stuff done though!
Stay well.

Thanks Michael, I knew you'd get it!
Hope you're having a lovely lead into Christmas - get some much needed rest too if you can.
I'll pass your message onto Grinchy!
