How does your body tell you it’s time to slow down? Often, when I am doing way too much and am in a ‘go-go-go’ state of mind I ignore taking care of myself in order to cross things off my list. If I keep this up for too long, my body will immediately send me a message.  This message comes in the form of an illness or injury of some sort and then I am forced to stop. S-T-O-P. This can be difficult to do, especially if you live in a city environment.  I try (really hard) not to push past it and listen to what’s going on.  In the end, I find there is always a valuable lesson to be learned. Try it sometime and see what you tune into. (Note to my hip-hop heads: Yes, I know this song is about crack addicts and prostitutes but can you think of a better chorus for my post?)
