Today, I have stopped…
I didn’t want to, but my body was firm in its message: Keep ignoring the need for rest, and I will force you to rest.
Well, here we are.
After years of barely ever getting sick, I’ve now been unwell for nearly a month—and it has stopped me in my tracks. It’s made me listen. Not the half-hearted “yeah yeah, I hear you” kind of listening, but actual, honest listening.
It’s funny how I can dish out the “rest and recharge” advice like a pro… but when it comes to following it myself? Let’s just say the struggle is real.
So I’m taking time and space—space to catch my breath, to properly rest (not the pretend kind where I’m “not working” but still powering through everyday life), to strengthen my immune system, and to do what I often ask others to do: truly slow down.
For me, that means:
– Replenishing minerals and electrolytes
– Eating deeply nourishing keto meals, not just convenient ones
– Prioritising real sleep—not just early bedtime, but quality rest
– Making room for stillness, not just a few scattered minutes of “active” relaxation
– Adding in nutrient-dense foods like liver, eggs, broth, and plenty of salt
– Gentle movement when it feels good, not because I “should”
I’m trusting this pause will give me the space to heal, to reflect, and to come back with more clarity, strength, and—hopefully—a little more wisdom to share.
If you’ve been pushing through too… maybe this is your nudge to stop and listen too.
