I often forget to notice when to stop and chill with my feet up, until my body is telling me through me getting hurt, bumped into things, or just feeling zero energy. Even though I strive to live in mindfulness, no one cancelled daily stressors and routines, obligations and commitments. In most cases, I feel my muscles getting tensed and hurt, so I know an injury is around the corner, and I still do not stop: just one more thing, just one more hour, just one more page… relatable? Most likely. Am I aware and mindful? - absolutely. Do I honor my body? - not always… And this brings me to the key point: commitment to myself and my well-being must weigh in my system of commitments on the same scale as my commitments to others. Easy said - effortfully working on actually doing it!
