Here’s the part most wellness spaces won’t say out loud:
Fatigue is often a protest, not a deficiency.
Your body shuts down when it learns you won’t listen unless it screams.
– Subtle signals ignored → louder symptoms
– Boundaries skipped → inflammation speaks
– Emotional labor unaccounted for → physical collapse
This is why “rest more” doesn’t work.
You don’t need rest.
You need respect for your internal signals.
Unpopular belief (and it’s true):
👉Healing starts when you stop negotiating with your body and start believing it the first time.
10-Minute Savage Practice:
Set a 10-minute timer. Sit. No phone.
Ask your body ONE question:
“What have I been overriding lately?”
Write whatever comes up. Don’t censor it.
React with 🔥 if this landed.
Comment if your body surprised you with the answer.
Self-care isn’t softness. It’s finally telling the truth.
