Our minds have the amazing ability to reason and compromise. Our bodies, however, do not. When the body feels unsafe, skeptical, or downright resistant, it will communicate to you that the conditions you are subjecting it to aren’t healthy or sustainable. For example, you may feel queasiness in your stomach, tightness in your shoulders, or sweaty palms, to name a few symptoms. The signs differ for each individual, but through self-awareness, we can become very familiar with the signs and signals that our bodies are sending. When we subject our bodies to pressures that it can’t handle, they will tell us to remove ourselves from those circumstances or at least take a break from them to give our bodies the rest that they deserve.
