There’s always a quiet moment before everything begins.
Before the conversations.
Before the work.
Before the emotional labor of showing up fully for others.
This is the part we skip too often.
Slowing down isn’t losing momentum —
it’s how your nervous system remembers safety.
It’s how your body catches up to your intentions.
It’s how presence becomes possible.
If you’ve been moving fast out of habit, survival, or responsibility,
let this be permission to pause without guilt.
Nothing is wrong with you for needing stillness.
This is regulation.
This is care.
This is how we arrive grounded.
✨ Reflection for today:
What helps you feel settled before you begin?
