By Yes! Everyone has a hiccup. And many of these can be life-altering. Some of these can mean things as simple as a trip to the doctor, but some can also mean a change in your diet or even in your body.
Okay. If you’re experiencing hiccups, it could be a sign of serious health issues like a concussion, dehydration, heart disease, cancer, or even epilepsy. These can be temporary, but if you don’t have any of these issues, it could be a sign that you’re actually growing.
I had one of those moments recently and it was just really bizarre. I went to a local gas station to get some supplies, but they said it was closed, so I had to go to the next closest one. I was able to return the items I needed and that was enough to get me back onto the road to recovery. I was able to drive home without incident and had to stay in the hospital for a few days but it was a positive experience nonetheless.
I hope you can also use this time to do a little bit of self-reflection. There are tons of things that go into how well you’re able to manage your health and wellness—you’ve probably noticed that you’re not always in the best of shape when you’re sick, especially due to all the stress you put into your recovery.
The internet and social media are also a major cause for our general malaise. We are constantly bombarded with our loved ones’ latest pictures and post them on social media. This can lead to burnout and self-neglect, but a lot of it is due to the fact that we’re always so caught up in social media that we don’t have the time or energy to really get in touch with ourselves.
As it turns out, that’s exactly what happens when youre in recovery. You’re constantly bombarded with pictures and updates of your loved ones, but it gets to be so much that you fail to realize that youre not in the best of shape. We’re hoping that the digital detox will help us to relax and actually re focus on our true selves.
The truth is that when were feeling a little blah, we look at the screen so much that we miss the signs of our true inner selves. We forget that were growing, and that means that the people around us are growing, too. Whether were talking to our friends on Messenger, or watching our favorite TV shows, the stories of our lives are being shared.
This is where we feel the most connected to reality. While we are often focused on our digital gadgets and social media, we are often missing our true selves. We are not only growing, we are being made stronger in the process. We are becoming a stronger, more authentic version of ourselves.
Our lives are being shared with us and shared with everyone. This includes our physical bodies but especially our emotional bodies. If we feel disconnected, and we aren’t growing in ourselves, we are likely to be growing in others. This is what I mean when I say this kind of hiccups: when we are not growing, we are growing in our relationships with others. This is the meaning behind the phrase hiccups.
Hiccups mean we are growing in our relationships with others. This is why I say that hiccups are a sign that we are growing. They mean that we are becoming a stronger, more authentic version of ourselves.
