Sometimes it’s not your willpower that’s the issue—it’s your nervous system slamming on the brakes. When you're stressed out, overtraining, under-eating, juggling too much—your body has to adapt. And its way of saying “Slow down!” might look different for each of You at different times: - Sudden weight gain (to physically slow you down) - Joint pain or inflammation (to stop you from pushing harder) - Getting sick (so you’re forced to rest) Your body is wise. It’s not fighting you—it’s protecting you. Listen, Nourish. Rest. Breathe. Simplify. When stress is high and self-care is low, your body gets louder with signals like: - Sleep issues – Can't fall asleep or wake up wired at 3am? Your nervous system is on high alert. - Digestive troubles – Bloating, constipation, or nausea? Stress is shutting down digestion. - Low libido – When your body’s in survival mode, pleasure takes a back seat. - Cravings & emotional eating – Your brain wants quick energy and comfort. - Brain fog or forgetfulness – Your body diverts energy away from thinking to just coping. - Increased injuries or clumsiness – Your focus and recovery are off. - Random skin issues – Rashes, breakouts, flare-ups… inflammation is screaming. These aren’t random. They’re messages. Quick Check-in - Instead of pushing through… try tuning in. What’s one area where you could pull back or slow down this week?
