Everyone in work is coughing, or spluttering, bunged up, feeling lousy, and to some extent shouldn’t be there. Tonight my mate A was walking on a broken foot which he was in pain with. Why do we no longer give ourselves time to heal when we are sick? Being in work when we are sick is almost like a badge of honour, in fact now it’s not encouraged at all to take time off for sickness, there must be something to take to hide the symptons so that we can all carry on, people are actively seen as skiving if they are off sick now. That has become our way of thinking, in fact some business’ are actively discouraging their employees from going off sick by not paying them for their first 3 days, taking the line that the staff will come in unless they are really unwell. So in effect even if you are ill, financially if you can’t afford to take the hit, you will carry on trying to work through your illness. I work with someone who boasts about the fact that she has never taken a day off sick, how are the toxins leaving her body? Well to be honest they aren’t, as she is heavily overweight and one of the illest looking people I have ever come across!
When did being sick become something which is not meant to be something to be tolerated? How is the body meant to clear out it’s toxins if we don’t allow it to be sick, when we keep suppressing sypmtons which are meant to be eliminated not kept in. By stopping yourselves from healing, from giving time to the sickness, and by not allowing the body to do what it is meant to do, you are creating long term disease for yourselves. If we can’t let the toxins out, then they take up root more permanently in the body, and little by little take away your vitality.
When you are ill, it is important to give yourself time to heal, stop, rest, and allow the processes of your body to happen, and not work through them creating even more stress for the body.
