I recently came down with a fever, and this time I chose not to reach for medicine immediately. Instead, I sat with the discomfort — meditating, resting, accepting the body’s signal without trying to silence it.
Gradually, my body recovered on its own.

Being ill alone teaches you something that health never can: the value of truly being present with yourself.
