Saying "Thank You Always" to My Body (Continued) - Leveling Up -

Greetings

Hello.
Thank you for your time.

This time, I would like to think about "health" together with all of you.

Previous Story

(Continued from the previous issue)
Although I continued to talk to my body for several days, I could not shake off the feeling that something was wrong, so I went to the hospital. The diagnosis revealed that it was indeed a "message from my body."

At that time, I received surgical treatment, and thanks to that, I was able to regain my usual sensations and lifestyle one week later. I am sincerely grateful to the doctors and nurses who treated me at the hospital.

However—
During the year leading up to the surgery, I spent my days repeating recurrences and treatments. By the time I received my fourth treatment, my body was covered in scars. Even so, my body was desperately doing its best every day.

And then, the surgery was a success, and I have now recovered to the point where I can lead the same life as before.

Days filled with anxiety and pain. During my hospitalization, I was supported by many people, including doctors, nurses, and laboratory technicians. I am also deeply grateful to my family, who were always by my side, worrying about me and encouraging me.

Through this experience, I realized that the daily life I felt was "usual" was by no means something to be taken for granted. The discomfort I felt back then might have been a message from my body saying, "Don't just work, why don't you take a break?" I learned the importance of communicating with and caring for my body.

I still cannot forget the morning of that day when I felt something was wrong.

Since then, every morning when I wake up, I feel grateful that my body moves as I want it to, saying, "Thank you. I'm counting on you today, too."

This is my experience from two years ago.
You may have also felt a sensation in your body that was different from usual, and there may be some of you who are still harboring anxieties about your health.

Certainly, getting sick itself is not desirable. However, I believe it can also be an opportunity to re-examine yourself. If you do not make concrete improvements, the same message will surely come from your body again.

I strongly felt that "if I continue living like this, the same thing will happen again," and I began to review my body care, including my sleep hours, and how I approach my work.

Now, the idea that "being healthy is not a given" has become my core. The fact that my body moves is something to be grateful for in itself.

Is your body screaming right now?

Please, take care of your body and treat it with kindness.

Thank you very much.
