September Pause

Summer’s over. With vacations done, it’s now time to get back to work, full speed ahead. Of course, since I’m retired, I don’t fit the usual routine for working adults. Still, I had plans: take my usual early-morning walk, with a goal of reaching 12,000 steps by the end of the day.

When I woke up this morning, my body said no. Today I needed to rest. So, I’m listening.

How often do you listen to the wisdom of your body? Do you push yourself to meet your goals regardless of what your body or intuition says? If you do, I understand. No judgment intended. Life is full of demands, and sometimes we do need to push forward.

One suggestion: This month, amidst all of your pressures, take a pause. Check in with your body twice a day. What does it need? A few minutes of quiet? Time set aside for a real lunch rather than eating while working. A nice bath at the end of the day.

You deserve it.
