MY BODY MONDAY
Your body knew before your mind caught up.
It knew when something felt wrong, even when everyone around you said it was fine.
It knew when to tense, when to pull back, when to go quiet.
It knew when a āyesā was actually a ānoā you didnāt feel safe saying out loud.
Weāre taught to override that. To second-guess it. To ask everyone else what they think before we ask our own body what it already told us.
But your body has never stopped talking to you.
The tightness in your chest. The pit in your stomach. The way your shoulders creep up toward your ears.
Thatās not random. Thatās information.
This week, try this: before you say yes to something, pause for three seconds and notice what your body does. Does it soften? Or does it brace?
Your body already knows. The work is just learning to listen again.
Thatās what My Body My Power has always been about, not learning something new, but remembering something you already have.
