Lately I’ve been learning something strange.
I’m learning what different heart rates feel like.
60 feels one way.
80 feels another.
110 feels another.
Not in a panic way.
In a curiosity way.
I’m rebuilding trust with my own body.
For years I didn’t listen to it.
Now I’m mapping it.
I’m realizing most of what scared me wasn’t danger —
it was surprise.
My expectations were wrong, not my body.
That’s a powerful thing to realize.
I’m not trying to control my body anymore.
I’m trying to understand it.
And understanding brings calm.
