Road to Wellness: What I have been up to during the 1st 2 weeks of my medical leave

This post is to share with you what I have been up to during these 2 weeks that I was on medical leave.  

I was given new medicine to combat the more frequent/recurring occurences of anxiety.  Anxiety, in my case, manifests even during serene, quiet moments such as when I was in a bus, when I am quietly seated in my office desk.  My anxiety attacks are characterized by trembling, cold and sweaty hands, palpitations and uneasiness/discomfort.  

My doctor gave me new medicine that caused me more discomfort, making it terrible for me to stand and walk during the first week that I took the medicine.  Aside from that, I was basically low morale, very sensitive and exhausted.  Given these side effects, my doctor decided to give me this medical leave so that I will be in a "controlled environment" as the medicine take effect.  I have weekly doctor appointment for check-up though.

During these weeks, even if I am in the comforts of my home, I made myself busy doing the following: 

1.  I dedicated a great deal of my time doing basic yoga, meditation and long walks in my area.  



2.  I regularly do acupuncture and therapeutic massage.

3.  I faithfully walk my son, drop him off to the school. i also completed arrangements for his summer camp.  Praise God!!

4.  I cook family meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Jejejeje 

5.  I surround myself and fill our home with beautiful flowers.  I have very beautiful pink and white peonies and pink daisies!! 

6.  I religiously go to the Church and say my thanks to my savior and asks for his blessings for my petitions.

7.  I binged watch in Netflix, Something in the Rain, a Korean drama/love story that gives some good, giddy teeny bopper feels. Hahahaha  Hubby and I also had a date night and we watched Han Solo.
