So the comments have shamed me into telling you the next installement.
I haved used the cream given by the "telling off" Dr for 4 days in a row and I have to confess that for the first time in years my hands are white again. They are no longer red, but white.
The change is drastic. I am shocked.
I had obviously accepted the fact that red hands are nomal. Now I see that they are not.
Now granted I am using cortizone cream which is rather agressive, but it has shown me that I have tolerated something unnecessarily. Now in 2 days I get the real test and speak about the sustainable solution. So more then!
So todays question is: What are you tolerating and accepting that you can actually do something about?
Is there something that you have taken to be normal, that actually isn't?
And if there is, what are you going to do about it today?
Funny isn't it? How we put up with stuff for so long and are genuinely fascinated when we discover that actually we don't need to. It's just a pity it takes most of us so long to reach that realisation. Yay for white hands!! x
ReplyDeleteSimilar story I guess. My doctor told me to stop using soaps and gels and to wash with aqueous cream. This got me questioning (and researching) the whole concept of soaps and shampoos and am now pleased to be free of both. I have a similar story about heterosexuality, haha. Society continually dictates to us norms and values that restrict our lives. True freedom comes when we challenge those and our own assumptions.
