Exhausted ?Try visual imagery of Canigao Island

Have you ever felt so exhausted yet you kept stretching your limits as most adults do ?Battling with all natural inclination to shout at the top of your voice to the maddening world around you just so they know you had enough?Well,how I wish we can do as easy in the movies -to quit work,cave in to depression or take that sabbatical leave.But not all of us are lucky to have money to go to a shrek, or to go on a grandtour like in the movie Eat Pray Love.

As I am writing this article I have to wait close to three hours to have my letter of intent approve by my insurance company just so a doctor can pick those painful fish bones that I swallowed in yesterday 's breakfast.I tried the emergency room but sadly even expensive private hospitals like this dont cater to emergency case of such nature I had to go through the Out Patient Department and secure a permission from the insurance in the process.

So what to do?Scroll down the memory lane of my social network account and imagine a place I would love to be in.Place where I feel most safe and relaxed.So for this medical visit ,I am teleporting myself somewhere in Canigao in Matalum Leyte to sunbathe and praise the sun hoping its energy charged me lightspeed.

I visualize my tired sleep deprived body jumping of that motor pump boat into the cool salty pristine blue sea with white coastline of pulverized corals.I can feel the soft blowing wind caress my skin and softly twisting my hair into a soft curls for a hairdo.The sound of the moderate waves crushing on the shore with the chirping birds for a duet.The relaxed ambiance of its residents as they go about their daily living.The taste of fresh seafood grilled with its tasty juice oozing out while the charcoals burn and its savoury taste feels my nostrils.

Images of many summers like this helped me through a lot of waiting time in doctors clinic for my kidney troubles last year .I have repeatedly used imagery to call my immune system to defense .I've used imagery to relax me in any stressful situation.

Canigao then wasnt popular to tourist compared to Kalangamman . This fact made it budget friendly to backpackers.And because ,one can request newly caught fish be cooked to your liking for small charge this place is good for the diet conscious .

Here scallops ,mussels and other seafood are extracted by divers who creates their own fins from a laminated wood plank and self made harpons.Away from the city shores ,no need to fear for red tide or polluted waters to cause you gastro related problems.Like the locals one can just crack it open,and season its meat with soysauce or vinegar.

I had my breakfast with the bay in view,a sumptous fish for viand and a warm to touch rice with nutritious coconut juice to hydrate me froma blistering sun.How lucky I feel that day!

A win win situation as you get it cheap fret free and satisyfy your growling belly while the residents earn their keep and need not migrate to the city to make a living.How I wish revisiting the place to take a click on its famous sandbar thats shaped like my tongue kidding aside.

Other than this picturesque beach one can also visit the old monastery and the century old church.Much about cultural values had to be discussed across nation when it comes to architectural treasure like these so they wont get embellish and in the process loss their value.

While I try to swallow my saliva in hopes the fish bone will be dislodge and not cause me infection ,I try to imagine the wind whistling to me get well soon tunes while the tides pound on those fish bones mightly till they crush into its pressure.Images strong as this do make me fight a little more than my body is able.

So for this Thursday ,I hope you are all well to make all those summer plans.Because trust me,when your body fails you due to old age or bad health or to occupational stress you'd need this potent imagery to make you go through it all .Placebo is the medical term for the supposed healing effect it makes on a body yet many had attest its magical powers do try it for toothache or any body ailments because if it worked for terminally ill patient in great pain it would most likely give you that effect as well.But of course ,do also seek an expert opinion as always.
