The Practice 07.26.26

Thank you for spending the past three weeks in the PAUSE with me.

In Week 1, you reflected on the relationship you currently have with your body—and the relationship you hope to build moving forward.

In Week 2, you began noticing the ways your body has been communicating with you through sensations, needs, and signals that are so often overlooked.

In Week 3, you explored what it might look like to honor your body's wisdom one small choice at a time, rather than constantly looking outside yourself for the answers.

Just like any meaningful relationship, trust isn’t created through one conversation. It’s built through consistent moments of listening, responding, and showing up with compassion.

This week is an invitation to do exactly that.

To spend a few quiet moments with one of the longest relationships you’ll ever have.

The relationship with your body.

This practice isn’t just for quiet mornings or time with your journal.

Return to it whenever you notice yourself slipping back into old patterns of criticism, control, or disconnection.

Come back to this conversation whenever:

• You find yourself criticizing your reflection.

• You ignore hunger, exhaustion, or your need for rest.

• You’re making a decision and aren’t sure what feels aligned.

• You feel disconnected from yourself.

• You catch yourself trying to control your body instead of caring for it.

Each time you pause and listen, you strengthen self-trust.
