My plans for the day....summed up in one word...

Sleep? at night? what's that? Many of us living with chronic pain don't sleep well and I think we have all joined the insomniac club...at least I know I have. 

The word nap(s) has become my favourite three letter word and often times my favourite four letter word depending on the day.

I don't know about you but there are days that I know I couldn't have gotten through it without having a nap. My nap(s) have become a saving grace for and from my pain.

Whether it's a solid sleep or just a stretch out and closing your eyes till you're feeling a bit better lay down...naps have a healing quality to them. Our bodies need the break...we need to heal...and we need some time away...we need a nap. It's okay if your days plans can be summed up in one word...it's okay! and some days you may find you need more than one...it happens and again...it's okay. I hope the nap helps. 

And just to clarify again...this does not make you lazy! and this does not make you selfish! what it does mean though is that you love yourself enough to do what you need for you...it means you love yourself enough to let you heal. I know some say "I'll sleep enough when I'm dead"...and some say they're just too busy...and some say it's a waste of a good day...BUT...their thoughts and body aren't living with you...yours is...and when you need one...take one. 

Today...my plans for the day can be summed up in one word...NAP

take good care of you eh?
