🌻 Listening When My Body Speaks 🌻

Simply Flava

I stayed home today. Truth is, I didn’t sleep last night. My eyes are swollen, and I feel like crap. But I’m not beating myself up for it.

Sometimes your body whispers, and when you keep pushing, it starts yelling. Mine was done whispering. I’ve been moving through the motions, showing up, carrying energy I didn’t have to give. Today, I chose to stop.

I have enough PTO, and more importantly, I have the right to rest.

To not answer every message.

To not explain my exhaustion.

To just be still.

I forget sometimes that healing isn’t always about deep conversations or self-work—it’s about closing your eyes, taking slow breaths, and allowing your body to recover from the noise of everything and everyone.

So today, I’m letting my body lead.

The world can wait.
