For years in my corporate life, whenever I hit capacity, when my mind was buzzing and I couldn’t hold one more thought, I’d do something that made no sense to the hustle in me:
I’d get up and walk.
Not to stretch. Not for steps. Not to be productive.
Just to interrupt the overwhelm.
Sometimes I’d take the stairs down to the café.
Sometimes I’d walk across the building to the far-away bathroom.
Sometimes I’d head outside and loop the parking lot.
And as I walked, I’d repeat a simple mantra:
I am here.
I am breathing.
I am here.
I am walking.
That was it. No analyzing. No fixing.
Just movement… and breath… and being.
Every time, something shifted. My mind softened. My body settled.
Capacity returned.
And often, a new idea or quiet knowing would land with a subtle internal yes.
I didn’t understand it then, but I do now:
We’re not meant to sit at our desks and “figure it out.”
Your brain can only take you so far.
Your body holds the rest.
She has a direct line to your intuition and clarity, the part of you that already knows.
This week, let’s practice letting her lead. 🧡
The Heart of This Week’s Ritual
Your body isn’t a machine, she’s a compass.
When you move, she speaks.
When you breathe, she settles.
When you pause, she tells you the truth.
Clarity is a physiological experience.
You don’t earn it, you return to it.
No forcing.
No figuring out.
Just coming home to yourself.
