Sometimes I think that life is just one big classroom. I have been enrolled in a self-study course called Self-Care 101 for about 6 years now. It all started when I lost my job. Losing a job is always painful, but I attached all kinds of other meaning to it that compounded my pain. I was hurt that those above me on the hierarchy (the parents) did not take care of me (the child). The lesson, for me, was that I have to learn to take care of myself.
Around the time I lost my job I put on a lot of weight and I developed debilitating allergies. For years, I have been seeking help to deal with these issues. I have been to therapists and doctors, I even went to a medical intuitive who sold me expensive supplements that did absolutely nothing to relieve my symptoms. In spite of all of the medical intervention I am still fat and full of mucus. I have known for a long time that the real issue is my addiction to sugar.
I think that giving up the sugar is my big test. I need to pass this test to graduate from the course in self-care. I need these credits to move on to the next course. Maybe the next course will be Success 101 or Freedom 105 or Fun 110. I won't know until I pass Self-Care 101.
