What about if that sore throat, those itchy eyes, that relentless sneezing were all part of the healing process? What about if it were pretty uncomfortable because the body has a plan and that plan is today will not feel great in order that you are fit and well real soon. What about if it were best to retreat to the back of the cave and stay warm and drink loads of water?
What about if sometimes we shouldn't dismiss and/or hide short-term discomfort in order for the long-term solution to realise?
