You hold the room so others don’t have to. No one checks if your arms are tired.
You learned to be steady because it kept everyone safe, so you swallowed the ache and kept the posture. That posture isn’t strength — it’s endurance that forgot how to rest. Hold space for yourself: set one small weight down for five minutes, breathe three slow breaths, or tell one person one honest line.

What are you will to do for yourself today?
