🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip #17 🌿

Ask Your Body What It Needs Today
(Build awareness before you build intensity.)

Your body is always communicating.
The question is — are you listening?

One of the most powerful training tools isn’t a barbell, a protein shake, or a program.
It’s a question: What do you need today?

Sometimes, the answer is “push.”
Sometimes, it’s “pause.”
Sometimes, it’s “breathe, then begin.”

The best results don’t come from grinding harder —
They come from aligning deeper.

Here’s the tip:
Before you train, eat, or plan your day — take 60 seconds.
Ask your body:
→ What do you need from me today?
→ Strength? Stillness? Structure?
Then move accordingly.

Why it matters:

• Builds interoception and nervous system trust

• Prevents injury, burnout, and hormonal crash

• Promotes sustainability, not self-punishment

• Creates a feedback loop between intuition and action

• Anchors presence into your health decisions

You are not a machine.
You are a living conversation.

Try it today:
Pause before your workout, meal, or to-do list.
Ask. Listen. Respond with care.

Reflection:
What changes when you stop overriding your body — and start collaborating with it?

Yours in awareness,
