On my own journey of poor health, healing, learning, and teaching, one lesson keeps coming back to me again and again – the importance of rhythm.
Our bodies are wired for rhythm. Yet most of us believe life is meant to be all about variety, spontaneity, and unpredictability. The truth is, our inner world does not function well in chaos. Your experiences in life – how you feel, think, and even respond – are closely tied to your inner clock.
Think about it.
* The circadian cycle decides when you feel awake and when you feel sleepy.
* The menstrual cycle follows a clear rhythm month after month.
* Even your hormones rise and fall in predictable patterns across the day.
And these rhythms don’t just affect one or two things. They influence almost everything that keeps you safe and thriving: your sleep, wakefulness, mood, metabolism, energy levels, heart rate, immunity, even your body temperature.
Now, here’s the catch. The modern world has become an expert at breaking these natural rhythms.
* Staying up late with endless scrolling
* Eating at random hours
* Artificial light from screens
* Pollution
* Constant stress
A simple jet lag can make you feel groggy and out of sorts for days. Imagine then, the impact of chronic rhythm disruptions like late nights, shift work, or extended perimenopause—they slowly unravel the body’s balance, leading to fatigue, weight struggles, mood swings, poor immunity, and lifestyle diseases we now see everywhere.
In short, your body craves something very simple: "predictable rhythm". When you respect that, you give your body the safety and steadiness it needs to thrive.
