76. Push Through or Rest? How to Stop Overthinking and Finally Trust Your Body
About this episode
You've been going back and forth about it for twenty minutes. Should you push through and get it done, or does your body genuinely need to stop?
In this solo episode I'm going into one of the most common questions I get asked. Nervous system resistance and genuine depletion are not the same thing. Your body is already telling you which one is which, but most of us have been overriding our body's signals for so long that we've stopped hearing them clearly.
In this episode I explore:
✨ Why the push-through-or-rest question feels so confusing
✨ The two distinct body signals and exactly how to tell them apart
✨ Why "I'm too tired to work but fine to scroll for an hour" is telling you something important
✨ How your inner critic hijacks your body's language
✨ A 5-step body check-in that takes two minutes and gives you more information than an hour of overthinking
✨ How learning to trust your body's signals in rest translates directly to trusting yourself in relationships
