Getting sick is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a person... or is it?
Catching a nasty cold or the flu or some other more horrible disease overall would fall in the category of "Bad Stuff" and no one would disagree. When you get sick you don't feel irritated, slow, absent minded, ugly, embarrassed, angry, impatient, just about every negative feels one can think of. How about mindful? When you are sick you are a bit more careful with what you do as to not exert too much energy, who you see as to not embarrass yourself by slobbering over people or getting that "take a step back" look when people see you or what you say as to not commit to something you are feeling up to.
When we are sick we become much more cautious and mindful of ourselves and our surroundings. We are actually more in tuned with yourself and our body some by choice and some by demand made by our body who's telling us to STOP and LISTEN as it screams for time and attention. It is not pleasant to be since but it is all a blessing to be sick. It is a great time to reflect on the many facets of life and ask ourselves to evaluate what is important in our lives and what is not. Thank your body for this internal equalizer, it could save your life.
