Exhaustion? Don’t even have time just to feel? Ignoring signs from your body and mind that it can’t keep up?
We all have our own natural rhythm (let’s call it internal), the innate pace that aligns us with the act of “doing”. Some people find flow on one thing at a time, some people need 7 things open all at once to feel in flow, whatever the pace, that’s your rhythm.
BUT when you start to feel a new kind of tired…… the kind where you start the day exhausted - and not end the day satisfied and at what you’ve achieved, it’s your body sending you a sign that what you’re doing - the rhythm of your day (let’s call that one external) and you’re natural flow state (internal) have tension.
Now I’m not saying we don’t have to flex up or extend ourselves for work, for family, for commitments. We all do that - but the constraints and tension should be temporary.
Life has become so fu***ng busy, there are now ruthless rhythmic demands that have accelerated so fast that the implicit rhythm we are running at, the pace we must run at to keep up - is something that we would never choose, nor is it something we can maintain.
We have become the frog in the pot. The water is boiling and we’re running blindly and haven’t stopped to ask ourselves the question … do I create enough space in my life to give my body, my mind and my spirit time to
Recover?
If you’re sleeping and you’re permanently exhausted - if you’re having a good weekend and turn up Monday feeling like you didn’t even have a break, maybe it’s time to look closely if the world is demanding too much and you’re just allowing it all.
Don’t confuse speed with value, taking time for yourself shouldn’t require justification. Stop comparing yourself to others - we all have different rhythms. You are only seeing their output, you’re not seeing their cost and you don’t know what their rhythm is.
You function better, you feel better, you sleep better when you’re more aligned with your own rhythm, when you give YOURSELF the space you need.
As women, what’s suits us at 20, 30 doesn’t suit us at 40,50. We change, and f**k it we are allowed to, but often we don’t stop long enough to reflect on what we need.
Don’t keep trying to maintain a rhythm that’s outdated, and don’t misinterpret a change in your rhythm as a failure or regression.
Slowing down isn’t failure, it’s intelligence at a deep level.
Be kind to yourself ❤️
Don’t apologise for changing your rhythm if you’re exhausted. ❤️
