I too, was the one who wanted to fix it all as fast as possible. For someone stubborn, ambitious and willing to ‘do the work,’ that didn’t matter when it came to really putting in the work on the healing path. Because what my brain was capable and willing to do wasn’t the same as where my body was at. For once, my brain couldn’t do the work here.
I was accustomed to taking care of my body through the means that I thought was the way. Pushing myself in the gym, two a days, avoiding sugar, limiting carbs, etc and focusing on the future… 
Slowing down was certainly not part of the program for me. Until it HAD to be.
The body will tell you when to slow down, and if you don’t listen, it will communicate that to you in the most unwanted of ways.
⚡️Injury
⚡️Sickness
⚡️Autoimmune
⚡️Unwanted patterns continuing
⚡️Sleepless nights
⚡️Anxiety
⚡️Depression
⚡️Relationship issues
⚡️Chronic fatigue
⚡️Overwhelm
⚡️Burnout
The body will communicated its needs to you, but until you’re willing to listen and work on what it needs at the root, those symptoms will persist.
Ambition can cannot override what the body needs in order to function at its best. I spent my time distracting myself from obvious cues of the body all in the name of succeeding. Outrunning and outperforming the programs that built my body from a foundation of pain, trauma and a lot of childhood that I had no idea how to navigate other than through my mind and intellect.
There comes a time when life gets so uncomfortable that you have no other option than to face what’s happening in front of you. To take extreme accountability at what’s happening in your life and realize even though you may not have contributed to everything that made you, who you want to be is completely in your hands.
