What if I told you that the “monster” you call a headache is actually your body’s cry for help?
Your head doesn’t just ache to disturb you — it’s your body’s way of communicating that something is off.
That throbbing pain might be saying: “I need sleep.” “You’ve had too much sugar.” “Your body needs water.”
“You’ve been stressing too much.” “You’ve been holding in too many emotions.”
“Go to the toilet!” “Your blood pressure or sugar level isn’t okay.”
Yet, what do most of us do? We rush to grab paracetamol — trying to silence the very message meant to save us.
Over time, your body starts to “fight back” because you keep ignoring its signals. That’s how a simple headache can turn into something serious.
So next time your head starts aching, pause and ask yourself: Have I eaten well today? Am I sleeping enough? Have I been glued to my phone or laptop for too long? Do I need rest — physically or emotionally? Is my environment stressing me? Headache is not always the enemy — sometimes, it’s the only language your body has to cry for help.
It might be your kidneys begging for relief. Or your blood pressure sending warning signals. Or your heart trying to get your attention before it’s too late. So please — listen before you medicate.
Eat right
Sleep well
Move your body
Manage stress
Love responsibly
And if the headache persists, check your blood pressure, blood sugar, and mental state. Because the earlier you listen, the better your body can heal.
May you never ignore your destiny helper — your body.
