I went to BODY COMBAT today. I am not sure I want to be at combat with my body... however... I am finally on the upswing of a several day-- actually a week and half long-- headache. I have had varying degrees of pain over the past week or so. This morning I felt the pain was around a 2- and after I got up and got moving I felt I could totally handle it today. So I went with my neighbor to a local class(first class was free).
We were punching our (imaginary) opponent across the ring. I was trying to visualize what I was beating the crap out of. The face of my friends soon to be cheating x-husband popped in my head. That felt good. Then my sweet husband's face who has become sick of my headache this time around also floated through my mind- except he still takes care of me even when he is tired of it so I sent his face on its way with very little assault. So-- I imagined my pain.
My pain didn't have a shape or a form-- but I was hitting it and punching it-- upper cuts and side swipes. It felt good. It felt good to move and sweat. It felt good to beat this thing.
After the work-out I felt good. I am cautious-- I am a bit shaky and my stomach still a bit tangled from the headache. But otherwise I am feeling good. The visualization was definitely a positive thing for me. I look forward to running in the morning. Maybe I can visualize my pain behind me and I can simply out-run it?
