I was never able to slow down. From childhood through my teens, My life was defined by a constant state of go, Go, Go. On the rare occasions I tried to pause, It felt good, But it also felt incredibly strange. So I would immediately fill the space with something else. I never felt I had permission to rest, Even though rest is a right, Not a privilege. It took a concussion to finally force me into stillness. For those of us used to moving at a frantic pace, Slowing down isn't just hard, It's uncomfortable. My nervous system was permanently switched on and even vacations couldn't fix it. Because I would return to the same cycle of exhaustion. My body was asking for a break. And eventually it started screaming for one. This is the heart of Embrace Your Wave.
