The 50 day challenge / Functional Medicine:

It's almost comical!

I wasn't surprised this morning when I woke up and realised I had caught a bad cold! It's almost comical! I have had and have a huge stress load from various sources and the sum of these has broken down my immune system and after a few bad nights sleep, the cold breaks out. When I don't give my body the opportunity to rest and recover it immediately punishes me, bam! And I am grateful! Grateful because I am so sensitive and because I know how my body works.

Now I will respect my mind and body more and take care of myself properly this weekend! There will be lots of love, good music, wonderful food and quiet walks, preferably in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I can't influence the last one, I can only hope! And next week I will try to stress less. Now it's time for a vitamin C boost, manuka honey and Echinacea before bedtime.

Thought of the day:

How do you take care of yourself when your immune system fails?

This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!

  • Is it a flower?


    Last Friday, my children and I picked Daddy D up at the train station. We see him walking at a distance and see that he is carrying something.

    - Is it a flower? says V.

    - No, I don't think so, I reply.

    - You didn't ask him to buy a flower, Mum, so it's probably something else, says O.

    It was something else he came carrying. It was not a flower.

  • I am going offline


    It's almost the weekend again. I'm going offline. All weekend. It will be so nice! The computer will not be used and the phone will be on flight mode. I wonder if I can do that?

    Thought of the day:

    Do you ever go offline?

  • We are energy creatures!


    What a neat word, energy creatures! We live in a world full of energy and we ourselves are also part of that world.

    Earlier today, during a work project, I really felt how this energy clearly can change and how quickly it can happen. For a few days we have been sitting 10 people in a large office and there has been a very positive energy, despite a boring project. We've been working on it and somehow made the boring feel okay. Now, as the project draws to a close, we are suddenly told that we will not be reimbursed for the last day. Because we have worked so well, the tasks will end earlier than expected. When this news reached us in the office, it was as if the air had completely gone out of the room. You could almost feel the energy. Everyone started to work more slowly, the positive spirit just disappeared and no one felt motivated to do a good job anymore. The damage was already done when the employer found out how we, who were working, were taking it all. Despite attempts by the employer to repair the damage, it made no difference to the energy in the room.

  • 6 basic principles for a healthy lifestyle during your pregnancy


    The 6 basic principles, initiated by Paul Chek, are based on creating a balance between yin and yang. The yin principles consist of diet, hydration and sleep, while the yang principles consist of breathing techniques, positive thinking and movement. The 6 basic principles for a healthy lifestyle are described in more detail in my previous blog series: Introduction, Diet and Fluid Balance, Sleep, Positive thinking, Movement and Breathing Techniques and Discussion.

  • Candles and fluffy sweaters


    It has been raining and the sky has been grey for many, many days now. It affects me and it affects others. Fortunately, I can find one pleasure in the autumn weather and that is to light candles, lots of candles, to make it as cosy as it can get when there is autumn debris outside. And just before bedtime, it's almost a must to curl up on the couch wearing a fluffy sweater with a warm cup of tea on my lap.

  • There are only good children here!


    I think Christmas is the best holiday of the year! I love Christmas! I am NOT going spend my time online in front of Facebook or reading emails on Christmas Eve itself. I'm going to spend time with my husband, my kids and my niece. I'm hoping for the perfect Christmas ham, sunshine and lots of quality time together. There will be homemade food, classic games such as yatzy, cards and monopoly and of course Donald Duck. I need to see Ferdinand smelling his flowers before Santa arrives. Because Santa is important and I really hope he finds his way here because only good children live here!
