Motivation through injury

Motivation through injuries. We hurt ourselves the first thing we think of in the Western world is reaching for the painkillers, take these they will get rid of the pain but do they not only mask the pain. So over the Christmas period my weekly walks, my walking meditation fell by the wayside, cold mornings meant my injuries (which is permanent) left me feeling I just couldn't do it. But last night after teaching my class my injury to the ankle presented me with a night of cramp and pain, back of my knee tight and lower back pain. So take pain killer's and stay in bed for the day. No this was a motivation time, this was time to get up and cure thyself. 6am meditation walk round my lovely village, fog, ice, crisp air, wildlife, this is my medicine.
