Most modern lives have very little white space.
This morning I went from a gym workout, to a quick cup of tea with the gym girls, to an appointment across town, to circling for a carpark, to grabbing groceries, to rushing home hungry and throwing eggs in a pan before the next thing began.
And when I finally sat down for a moment, I had that thought:
That was actually quite a lot for a nervous system.
Not a traumatic day. Not a bad day.
Just constant input. Constant movement. Constant switching.
I think many of us live like this now.
We move from one thing to the next without ever fully landing anywhere in between.
Our bodies often stay slightly braced, our jaws tight, mind racing, breathing shallow, always preparing for the next thing.
This is one of the reasons I believe massage therapy matters so much. Not simply for muscles but for the nervous system.
For many women an hour on the table may be one of the only moments in the week where nobody needs anything from them, there’s nowhere to be, their breathing slows, their shoulders drop, their body stops anticipating the next demand.
A little white space 🤍
And sometimes that space is where the body finally remembers how to soften.
Space available for you. Book via the link in my bio.
