I am Having A Good Relationship With My Body.

Adakalanya badan kita itu tidak mau diajak kompromi .. Iya kaaan.. Pernah mengalami semisal pada saat kita dituntut untuk beraktifitas dengan mobilitas tinggi ternyata badan kita tidak kompromi malah bertentangan karena dia malas gerak aka mager.. Lalu pada saat kita berencana untuk tidak melakukan aktifitas dan ingin mengistirahatkan badan yang artinya we are being kind to our body.. eh ternyata badan kita malah merasa bahagia sehingga menstimulate otak untuk melakukan aktifitas yang membahagiakan sehingga tujuan utama memberikan istirahat dari segala bentuk aktifitas yang melelahkanpun tidak tercapai.. yang artinya kita tetap bergerak kesana kemari dan tidak istirahat dengan bahagia.. Iya gak siih..

Semisal saya nih.. hari ini.. dengan sadar dan baik hati berniat untuk istirahat. Selain I am being kind to my body as I am already pushed herself to the limit which has caused fatigue over the last reckless days.. saya juga mau menyelesaikan membaca buku yang engga kelar kelar… 

Lalu kenyataan yang saya hadapi adalah later I find myself cooking, baking, arranging the food, cut some wild flowers from outside, preparing the setting for taking pictures which means it really takes times as I have to return all the properties back to its place afterward.. which also means that is the way my body has a break and having me time.. Oh.. so where is the lying on the bed doing nothing but reading? Mission is definitely not accomplished..

Sebetulnya mudah aja sih untuk bekerjasama dengan badan..  If you are doing something.. feel it..  If you feel comfort and easy.. You are in a good relationship with your body.. If your body stays good she will embrace you in its comfort even without your command.

Saya punya kebiasaan setiap sebelum tidur I am always listening to music.. easy listening music which gives you a feeling of comfort and ease before you fell asleep.. Tapi kenyataannya kadang saya sudah tertidur duluan sebelum musik pengantar tidur itu selesai.. atau bahkan saya sudah tertidur sebelum satu lagupun selesai.. atau bahkan saya sudah terlelap duluan padahal saya berniat mau mendengarkan musik. Saya beranggapan itulah kebaikan yang diberikan badan saya .. she embraces me in her comforts..  Thank you body.. ;D

Tapi kadang our body keeps telling us what to do.. in collaboration with the brain of course.

Misalnya Dalam hal olahraga.. Dengan berjalannya waktu we can feel  exactly what is the suitable work out too keep us feeling fit and healthy. For me.. I prefer yoga and morning walk. I do morning walk every day followed by yoga to relax the muscle after walking..

What I learned is.. sometimes your body asking you to do more. Misalnya gini.. At the time I do my morning walk.. Sometimes I still have to fight until the first 3 kilometers..  tapi setelah itu my body asking me to walk more and more. She already becomes comfort with the activities.. So I walk to 5 kilometers.. and then to 6 kilometers and 7 and sometimes to 8 if the weather conspires... Bukan hanya itu.. the body is also telling when to stop and when to slow down..

Yang lucu juga gini.. even your body can tell you what to eat.  Pernah kan berada dalam situasi pertentangan ketika you want to eat some comfort food and you let go your appetite but inside your mind you know that you better not to eat that food.. then your body will give an uncomfortable reaction. On the other hand, your body can also tell you if she needs warm food, light food or even when in need of detoxification.

To have all those support and cooperation from the body you really have to be in a good relationship with her. . You have to listen to your body and make sure you are not forgetting the most essential ingredient.. that is love. You have to love your body.. as the quotes say.. It’s the only place you have to live..

What I am telling here is just my two cents.. My compulsive writing.. and my self pride  that I am  having a good relationship with my body.

Ps: Actually I just want to write that today I am planning to do nothing but ended with cooking, baking, snap some photos and everything that follows.

Makanan di foto ini adalah makan siang saya berupa kentang dan edamame yang direbus sebentar kemudian dipanggang pake butter, garlic, himalayan salt, pepper dan chilli flakes.. Ditambah baked whole wheat bread dan boiled egg..
