Laying blame

I just got back from three weeks of travel in Mexico.  Yes, that would explain the lack of blog entries, but we have a lot of new interesting tips and news coming up in the next couple of weeks!

While I was travelling I got thinking about one problem that we can have when it comes to headaches.  The problem is that it’s very easy to jump to conclusions about what is causing a headache.  We might have a headache at the same time as a storm, or we might get a headache or migraine after eating a new type of food.  It’s very easy to lay the blame on the most obvious thing.  Of course, that food must have caused the headache!  Of course, it was the storm.  Of course, it was the tacos or the altitude or … whatever.

So the tip of the day is, be careful before jumping to conclusions.  I travelled for a while with someone who complained of headaches every day.  So, was it something in Mexico causing the problem?  Maybe, but probably not.  It was likely just all the sudden changes combined.  If you travel somewhere and get headaches, don’t blame it on the place, and don’t give up on travelling.  Instead, give yourself a little longer to adjust.  Rest up.  Try to keep your schedule consistant.  You may find that you can do more than you thought you could.
