This is Odd.... I know.
I've had a headache for about 3 days now. Every now and again it'll ease up a bit... but just when I think it's over and I'm done fighting it, I turn my head and it sucker punches me. It's kicking my trash. I've tried ignoring it, drugging it, sleeping it, yoga-ing it, and peppermint-ing it to death... it'll relax a bit, but it keeps coming back worse than before.
So today... having to stay home from church (again..... ugh.) I decided to not fight my headache. I went all eastern-yoga-master-one-with-self on that sucker. It's been totally weird and I feel like I should have had flowers in my hair and anti-war pamphlets (made from 100% recycled paper) on my desk.
I decided my headache was a pronoun. It was a person/thing. I made it tangible. I made it a seem like a bad house guest who pee'd on the toilet seat, tracked mud through the rooms, and ate all the food. I decided to cater to him till he decided I was boring. Every time my head would tense up with pain, or my eyes would get blurred with blind spots, I would close my eyes and do a 10 second breath (5 in, 5 out) then I would softly speak "What can I do for you?" I would imagine myself putting in a movie for my guest, Or pouring him a glass of lemonade, or even braiding his awful greasy hair.
I've been sniffing a lot of peppermint and lemongrass.
My headache has been slowly packing up and leaving. It's still really painful... but hey, I've been able to look at my computer long enough to blog!
I think this hippie thing might be good for me... I think I might try it next time my stomach acts up. (Which by the way... my stomach hasn't been bad in about 5 days!!! yahoo!)
I know right?
