The lesson will keep repeating itself

When someone tells me

… “Hey you should exercise… You should eat healthy, home-cooked food”… I loathe it.

I don’t like this advice, this preaching ..at all!! I don’t want to listen to anyone.

Why should I? I want to do what I want to do.

I want to sit comfortably all day long. Switching (only) between the couch, the chair and the bed. And I don’t want to move any further.

But you know what..my body has shown me that if I don’t move, don’t exercise, and don’t follow my yoga routine, it isn’t going to work for me.

Sitting on a chair all day long makes me lethargic, dull and sick!

I start complaining. Oh, I have back pain, oh I have a stomach ache.

But why me?

I imagine where did this sickness come from?

Now I know ..”why me.”Because when my body was telling me something, I did not listen, I shunned it.

Something in me was whispering, “we can’t go on like this anymore.” I ignored it.

But now I understand even if I don’t want to listen to the world, and what other have to say, at least I will have to listen to my body.

And if I don’t listen, the lesson is going to repeat until I learn.

Its not about “them”.. its about me. Its not about “proving” or “comparing”.. it’s about my health and me.

I don’t want to exercise but I do it anyway, because this is how I get to show Vaishnavi that I can trust her, that I care for her and love her.

And this is how I strengthen our relationship.

Like oscar wilde put it right.

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance!”
