I had plans to go out today, but I woke up this morning feeling terribly nauseous. And this feeling lasted most of the day. So I canceled my plans and stayed home and I wasn’t happy about it. I did not want to be at home today.

I wasn’t surprised at how I was feeling, though. I’ve been through several very stressful weeks and today I felt the physical manifestation of everything I’ve put my body through — the non-stop worry, anxiety, lack of sleep, poor eating habits (as in, not eating very much and when I did eat, replacing the vegetable food group with the croissant food group). I’d gotten myself into such a state that sometimes I’d wake up in the middle of the night and feel that I couldn’t breathe. It’s easy to forget just how detrimental stress and anxiety and depression are to one’s physical well-being.

This is really inexcusable because I know better than this. By this age, I know that I cannot just coast through my life. I have to pay attention to how I’m feeling, to my moods and stress levels. Otherwise, I head down a dangerous path. So now I must pull myself up and start living consciously again, to eat better, to meditate, to force myself to walk several miles each day, which is something I dearly love but it’s tough in the wintertime. I’m not sure where I’ll find the strength to do this, but I’ll have to.

My nausea is gone by now, thank goodness. It was like a fever burning through my body. Peppermint tea helped. And tonight I visited La Maison du Sushi for California rolls. Salmon = brain food. That’s a good first step.

   I am amazed by the food photos you post. I have rarely seen food presented so beautifully. I am not a sushi person, so I don’t mean this photo in particular but all the photos you have posted in the past as well.
