Going Gentle: Listen to Limitations

Are You Listening to Your Body's Limitations?

Hello and Welcome Back to Going Gentle where we talk about decreasing our stress and increasing our peace! 
For today's post, we focusing on the natural limitations our body creates when we push ourselves too hard with getting things done. 

We all have our to do lists, our goals to meet, our responsibilities to loved one and to ourselves! 
So how do we know when we're trying to do too much all at once? 

Our bodies speak to us in ways we can pay attention to to help avoid the inevitable: exhaustion, irritability, overwhelm, depletion. 

So, instead of allowing ourselves to get to that point, let's pull back and see what we can do to put our well being as a priority while still getting done what needs doing! 

(Watch the video for my take on this subject...) I know that when I don't pay attention, I get more irritable, cranky and fatigued! Learning to listen takes practice and determination, doesn't it? 

When we listen to what our bodies are telling us, we can manage our workloads from a more strategic place of wisdom and discernment, thus decreasing our stress and increasing our peace. 

What is your body telling you today?

Journaling  Prompt: 
When was the last time you pushed yourself to exhaustion? What were you trying to accomplish? Detail the ins and outs of that day, specifying whether you knew to take a step back and reassess. Were you aware that you were pushing yourself too hard? How did you feel afterwards? What would you do differently looking back? How does that inform your work pace going forward? 
What symptoms or signals did you body speak during that time of stress? 
Was it physical, mental, emotional? Detail this in your journal. This can help you recognize how your body tells you when you need a break. 
Remember that Gentle is Magic!
