It seemed like one thing happened after another. Nothing quite went wrong, but it didn't quite go right either. All through the day I had this feeling like a dead thing around my neck. Something didn't feel right. I didn't smile much. I didn't have the peace that I usually do at least sometime during the day.
Now I used to feel like this everyday, only worse when I had more than vague discomfort. I had to figure this thing out.
I started reviewing what could be putting me in this mood. I couldn't think of anything that merited this feeling. Perhaps it was because I didn't meditate enough? So I spent some more time meditating. Still this strange feeling.
Now I just had dinner and a large glass of iced tea. Within 10 minutes I felt better. That vague discomfort vanished. It was like a cloud being removed.
This is when I realized that I had only consumed about 1/2 of what I normally drink. Usually I put away between 80 - 100 ounces of water (with the occasional tea) every day. I realized that I had only got to about 44 ounces.
So I drank another glass of tea. I felt just a little better after that too, and my persistent low grade headache went away.
Isn't it amazing that this depressive feeling might have been because I wasn't hydrated!
So I am going to not only pray and meditate and focus my thoughts on peace and being a vessel of love, but that I get in my 100 ounces of water a day.
Who knew?
