The older I get, the more I realize that I've ignored by body talk. How many years have I disregarded my body telling me that I needed to sleep more? Or how about the times my body told me I needed to exercise, but I turned a deaf ear to that as well.
Let's get this straight - your body is pretty good at communicating with you. Listen to what it is saying. If you are lazy and your body keeps dragging and telling you it doesn't want to do anything, you should be able to discern that you need to do exactly the opposite. If you have been going too hard, and your body is telling you to stop! Listen to it and stop.
Personally, I'm getting better at listening and heeding what my body is telling me. I'm working at sleeping between 7 and 8 hours a night now. I'm also eat less because my stomach tells me (very clearly) when it's full. I'm also exercising 5 days a week, AND making sure I'm not doing much physically for two days a week to ensure I am recovering.
My body is telling me how much it appreciates the kind cooperation now. We still find ourselves in an argument every now and then, but overall, my body is much happier since I've begun to listen better.
Please, listen to your body, and heed what it is telling you. You'll be happy you did.
