Description

<p>When Rest Isn’t Enough</p><p>I’ve been sick again.</p><p>Not dramatically sick. Not emergency sick. Just that low grade, lingering, frustrating kind of sick that doesn’t knock you out all at once, but quietly rearranges your days.</p><p>The kind where you’re technically functioning, but something feels off.</p><p>For me, that off feeling shows up as disconnection.</p><p>Because movement, at least the way I experience it, isn’t just exercise. It’s how I stay in touch with myself. It’s how I know where I end and the day begins. It’s how I metabolize stress, anxiety, and whatever energy doesn’t have anywhere else to go.</p><p>And when I can’t move the way that feels natural or good, even in small ways, I start to feel less like me.</p><p>This episode of <em>my Body can</em> started with a question that felt almost ridiculous to say out loud.</p><p>💡 Check out the Substack post that goes into this topic in more detail: <a target="_blank" href="https://mybodycan.substack.com">https://mybodycan.substack.com</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
