This is today’s September Sip and Sprout post, and the prompt was: How are you treating your body this month? What does your body need to feel better? Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better time to answer this, especially since I’ve already been so open today. If you read my earlier post, you know I’m in the middle of a full-on meltdown, so why not be real about my body too?
We’re only 12 days into the month, but it already feels like my body is running on empty. Between work stress, wedding planning, and school, I’m barely sleeping, eating poorly, and surviving on caffeine. My body is definitely feeling the impact, and even trying to relax feels impossible.
What I need right now is rest. My body is begging for breaks—better meals, more sleep, and movement—but instead, I’m just pushing through, focusing on one task after another. It’s hard to slow down when everything feels urgent.
I know if I don’t take a step back soon, I won’t make it through the rest of the month (or my to-do list). So, I’m committing to listening to my body more—taking the time to recharge and show up for everything else in a healthier way.
