Workpost 72: Refocusing
There are a couple of things I’m feeling into.
- I wonder if I have prediabetes since I do not feel well after eating sugar. I feel a bit numb and my stomach doesn’t feel good. I feel it in my kidneys as well.
- I really want to tackle my bloating and take it seriously. I was able to find way to tackle my knee issues, I should be able to tackle them too. My first thought is just to massage right below the belly button softly but for a long time, it tends to work and is very gentle.
- I want to refocus on my businesses, maybe create some challenges around them now that I’m excited and motivated to work on them again.
- I want to do what I set out in the last workpost, cleaning out my to-do list as cleanly as possible.
Ok here are some of the symptoms of prediabetes:
- Increased thirst – yes at night
- Frequent urination – nope
- Increased hunger – nope
- Fatigue – not really more than usual
- Blurred vision – nope
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet – nope, more on the back
- Unexplained weight loss – nope
- Dark spots on the skin – nope
- Skin tags – nope
- Slow healing of cuts and wounds – nope
So I probably don’t have prediabetes, just don’t respond well to glucose spikes or processed sugars.
In terms of bloating, I want to keep it simple, just doing very light circles right below my belly button really is causing me to feel like my gas is leaving. I want to make it a habit to do that when I’m feeling bloated.
Also, when I feel stressed, I want to focus on breathing. I want to charge my watch more often and use it to check my stress levels.
I’ll leave my business planning to dedicated blog posts, but overall, my next step is to improve my working tools and setup.
