Some days, life hands you little moments that quietly reveal a lot about yourself.
Today reminded me of something I’ve known for a long time but don’t always honour:
I don’t perform well under pressure, reactivity, or people hovering over me. I thrive in calmness, spaciousness, and trust.
It’s wild how quickly we can go from feeling grounded and capable… to suddenly questioning ourselves because the energy around us becomes tense or reactive. One moment you’re in your flow, and the next your whole nervous system is bracing, tightening, forgetting what it already knows how to do.
I’m learning that it’s not a “weakness” to prefer calm guidance, gentle energy, or space to figure things out. Some of us grow through softness. Some of us regulate through quiet. Some of us need room to breathe so our instincts can actually come forward.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
So here’s my reminder… and maybe it’s yours too:
Protect the environments where your calm thrives. Honour the way you move, learn, and lead. And allow yourself to choose the energy that supports your best self.
Sometimes the lesson isn’t in the challenge itself… it’s in noticing how your body responds, and choosing to honour that with more intention moving forward ✨
