❄️ I got hit with a cold last week — and it taught me something powerful about healing.
At first, my mind went where it always used to go:
“I don’t have time for this.”
“This is going to mess up my schedule.”
“I’ll miss work, fall behind, maybe get my family sick.”
And honestly, those thoughts made me feel worse.
Not just physically—but mentally.
I felt frustrated. Powerless. Trapped in my own body.
But then something shifted.
I paused—and I saw it differently.
What if this wasn’t my body failing me?
What if this was my body fighting for me?
Right now—without me lifting a finger—my body was launching an incredible defense:
⚔️ White blood cells rushing to the front lines.
🛡️ Antibodies forming to neutralize the virus.
🔥 Fever, congestion, and fatigue weren’t weakness—they were strategy.
They were the signs of a body that still knows how to protect itself.
And when I saw it that way… I felt something else entirely.
Instead of frustration, I felt gratitude.
Instead of dread, I felt a kind of peace.
My body wasn’t broken—it was wise.
It was doing what it had done since the day I was born: protecting me.

💡 Your body knows how to fight for you.
It doesn’t need blame. It needs trust.
It doesn’t need frustration. It needs support.
If you’re in the midst of something hard—whether a cold, an illness, or a life challenge—
remember: perspective matters.
You have a choice in how you see what’s happening.
And sometimes, the right perspective changes everything.
