Goals from Yesterday

Last night I woke up with a sore throat.  So bad it hurt to swallow.  When I could not get back to sleep, my husband offered my some NyQuil.   Hurting I took it.  The problem is that I can not swallow pills on their own.  I have never been able to swallow pills, I envy those people like my mom who can throw a hand full in their mouths and swallow.  But that's not me.  I have to eat something, to swallow with and then it's one pill at a time.  If is doesn't go down right away I will give not and just not take it.  The reason I am telling you this, is that in order to swallow the two pills I had to eat something to swallow with.  So wanting something easy and fast, I ate a chocolate cookie.
Then as I am trying to fall asleep, I get on the internet and start researching detoxing and sore throats, and sure enough when you are detoxing you can experience sore throats, nasal congestion, and other cold like symptoms.  Best thing to do for a sore throat is to gargle with warm salt water.  So had I done the research first and not acted first I would have never taken the medicine.
But that is the way we are in this society, we reach for medicine first, instead of finding remedies, we reach for band-aides. 
So not real proud of the choice I made last night, but I know I can make better choices in the future.  That's what true transformation is, the ability to learn from you actions and make better choices in the future.
