I just don't feel you've been there for me of late....
The slightest thing will set you off and it's really beginning to tick me off.
Don't get me wrong, I think we have a pretty good relationship; I do listen to you and take time to understand what's going on with you. Wasn't that long ago that I'd just ignore you and do what I want anyway. Those days are long gone and we're a real partnership now.
We have our ups and down, sometimes you adjust and give me more breathing room and other times I have to take time out and respond to your needs. That's how it should be in any good relationship. But it seems over the last few months I have to take the back seat to your needs and it's really upsetting me.
Every time there's a little niggle to you take it as an excuse to get stroppy. You should be able to just get on with it, but clearly that's too much to ask. I know what you're going to say. Every time we've gone for help or advice they take your side. I'm the baddy for pushing you too far, demanding too much. But you never complain at the time, it's always afterwards that you let rip and take me down with you. That's just mean and has to stop.
You can't just be wheezy; no you've got to get yourself worked up into a full blown asthma attack that requires emergency meds and trip to hospital. Stiff muscles from running, oh no, not you. You've got to have sciatica and a foot injury so bad I can't walk. You can't have a headache, you've got to have a week long migraine! .... yeah you thought I'd forgiven you for that huh? And now tummy from hell and a trip to the GP with noises about hospital referrals and 'investigations'. You'd love that wouldn't you Body? Us being laid off so I can't boss you around, well dream on! Even people I barely know, notice I'm not on top form, you're letting me down when we're in public and it's getting embarrasing!
I've got one response for you; we're supposed to be in sync you and I, and we're supposed to be well!
Don't listen to them out there. We know what's right for us we've been there before and recovered from worse. So here it is dear body. I'm going to look after you better if you stop getting stroppy with me. Fair?
(Gurgle gurgle) .... I'll take that as a yes then.
No chance of a run later? (body swears at me) .... Ok ok, just asked.Take a chill pill!
When was the last time you and your body had a good chat? You still beating it up for not being or doing what you want? How about taking time out and being kind to it, you might be surprised how supportive and responsive it can be. I'm taking mine out on a spa date, it's going to love that!
