There are moments when your whole tinana tells you it’s had enough, the tight chest, quick breath, feeling that everything is just a little too close. That’s not you being dramatic or “overreacting.” That’s your mauri asking for protection, for space, for gentleness.
I used to ignore those signals and tohu, until they turned into exhaustion I couldn’t push through. These days, I listen earlier. I step back. I breathe. I remind myself that guarding my mauri isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. It’s how I stay grounded for the people I love, and for myself.
If you’re wanting to learn how to understand your mauri, respond to its signals, and bring yourself back to balance, comment hauora and I’ll send you the Mauritau course link. It’s the practice that changed how I care for myself.
