The Body is Live Streaming: Even if You Watch the Replay at Double Speed, the Body is Hard to Decipher.

I share the physical reactions of autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation as "messages from the body."
I hope to convey serious topics about the body in a way that might make you chuckle just a little.

Recently, more people are watching live streams.
Commenting in real-time, and enjoying the atmosphere of the moment together.
But on the other hand, there is also this way of looking at things.
"I'll just watch the replay later."
And what's more, at 1.5x or 2x speed.

I do it too.
When I don't have time, I find myself wanting to "just know the main points."
But when observing your own body, aren't you doing the same thing?

The body is live streaming 24 hours a day.
"I'm a little tired right now."
"My stomach is bloated right now."
"I'm feeling sleepier right now."
"My recovery isn't keeping up right now."

It's always streaming.
But we usually only look at our bodies after symptoms have become severe.
"Come to think of it, I've been feeling off since last week. I wonder what the cause was."

That is how we look back on it later.
As if watching a "replay."
And that is usually at double speed.

"Monday was normal... okay, next."

"Tuesday I was a little sleep-deprived... skip that part too."

"Wednesday I ate out... okay, after that."

"So, where is the cause?"

The body is probably troubled by that.

"I want you to watch everything leading up to that."

We try to find only the cause.
But the body is not a single drama; it is made up of the accumulation of every day.

A day when sleep was a little short.

A day when you were busier than usual.

A day when you felt sleepy after lunch.

A day when you craved sweets in the evening.

A day when your stomach was a little bloated.

A day when you stayed up late.

Each one is a small scene.
That's why you want to skip them.
But those small scenes connect to create the current state of your body.

Therefore, reading the body is not about hunting for a culprit.

"This was the cause!"

It is not about finding a single scene that says,
"I see, this reaction is likely to occur on days with this kind of flow."
It is about seeing the story.

When you watch it live, you can notice even small changes.
"Oh, I'm sleepier than usual today."

"My stomach feels light today."

"I'm recovering better than yesterday."

Such small changes are visible precisely because it is real-time.

Of course, you don't need to spend your life thinking only about your body.
You would get exhausted if you were glued to the live stream 24/7.

But, just a few times a day,
"How is my body doing right now?"
It seems doable to peek at the screen like that.
Even just that will bring you a little closer to your body.

A body with chronic inflammation or an autoimmune disease
does not suddenly start saying something.
It is streaming a little bit every day.

"This is how it feels today."

"I'm pushing myself a little harder than yesterday."

"This part has recovered."

There are no flashy productions.
That is why it is easy to miss.
But, within that quiet live stream,
there are many hints to understanding your body.

The body is live streaming again today.
Rather than searching for the cause while watching the archive at double speed,
try peeking at today's stream for just a moment.
I believe that accumulating those moments
will change the time spent searching for "what is wrong"
into time spent understanding "what the body is trying to tell you."

I am creating a space where we can translate together
those reactions that are difficult to decipher on your own.
For those who find the body's email/BGM too cryptic,
the entrance to translation ishere.
