“The body speaks long before the mind agrees.”
Sometimes purpose shows up as stillness instead of momentum.
A headache, a heavy limb, a desire to cancel plans.
Not weakness, instead, communication.
When the body asks for quiet, honoring it is an act of alignment.
Listening now prevents collapse later.
The body lowers its voice.
Purpose leans closer.
Nothing is wrong,
something is being protected.
Purposeful Practice:
Rest without justifying it and
no productivity attached.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, we explore how purpose grows in small decisions.
SONSHINE FOR YOU 
This is beautifully grounded and quietly powerful. The way you frame the body not as an obstacle but as an intelligent messenger feels deeply compassionate and wise. I love how stillness is redefined here—not as absence or failure, but as purpose in another form. The closing practice is especially strong: simple, permission-giving, and radical in its gentleness. A piece that invites trust, presence, and self-respect in a world that often pushes the opposite.

I love this… Rest isn’t weakness, it’s an act of alignment. Sometimes purpose shows up in stillness, and honoring that can prevent burnout later.
Rest without guilt is powerful.

I actually had to put this into practice recently, Kerri. I had an injury that was aggravated by my trying to push through. And when I rested, everything improved. It was a good lesson and not easy!

Oh gosh I’m glad you were able to find a resolution in resting. We certainly can over due when we are excited about something and then it’s not so exciting when consequences scream back.
