Trusting Our Rhythms

It's been a few weeks since I have written here. Each week as I have sat down to write, I have noticed that I haven't had the same energy toward writing as I usually do. I have made a commitment to myself to follow where my energy goes rather than just performing because I think I should. I expect to be back writing soon. In the meantime I wanted to leave a quick thought about something I have been learning and reflecting on lately.

My mind got there a while ago. My body is still catching up. I've been doing a lot of focused resting lately — paying attention to what's happening in my body rather than pushing past it. It's slower and quieter than I'm used to. But I'm learning to trust it.

If you're in a similar season — low energy, needing more rest than feels comfortable, moving slower than you think you should — I'd invite you to trust that. Your body knows something. It might just need a little time to catch up.

More soon.
