Blocking.
My life continues to be a whirlwind. A whirlwind of activities, a whirlwind of emotions. I am having to make conscious efforts to not allow myself to become stressed by everything going on in my life. I find that when I allow stress to work its way into my mind, that it in turn poisons my body. My body deals with enough challenges, I don't need the added challenge of stress.
That sometimes is easier said than done.
I would say for the most part that my challenges with gastroparesis have been mild lately. I am trying to stay with more bland foods - which in and of itself is quite boring. Who wants to eat egg whites every morning? Or a plain turkey sandwich for lunch? Actually it sounds very much like the nutritional program I would follow when I would train. Except - I wasn't drinking coffee or caffeinated drinks like I am now to try and get that little extra rush of energy.
I have also come to a realization lately.
I need to get back out onto the mat. This past weekend was pretty chaotic, so I plan on talking with my Sensei this weekend about me trying to take a class again. It's going to be one of those things that my ability to take a class will most likely be determined on how my previous week has been with gastroparesis. I in no way want to do anything that would land me in the hospital. But at the same token, I need a stress reliever. So we shall see.
Out with the bad.
In with the good.
