A meaningful thought

Your mind may say, “Nothing happened; I can handle it.” But your body keeps speaking through shallow breathing, tense shoulders, sleeplessness, or exhaustion that rest does not resolve. Physical signals are not necessarily an overreaction. They are often the truth you have been too busy—or too determined to appear strong—to acknowledge. Do not wait until your body forces you to stop. Ask today what you need: sleep, movement, silence, nourishment, medical attention, or a conversation that should no longer be postponed.
