Hi Friend,

There was a time not so long ago when I said “yes” to everything.
Extra work? Sure.
Social events? Of course.
Projects I wasn’t even excited about? Sign me up.

I thought being busy (on everyone else's work, events, agendas) made me productive, but honestly? I was just running on empty and stuck in a cycle of overcommitting.Here’s what it actually got me:

😣 Energy levels in the gutter.
😖 Shoulders so tight they felt glued to my ears.
🤯 A brain that never. shut. up.

Busy ≠ Productive

The truth is, I wasn’t prioritizing myself. I let everyone else’s needs leapfrog my own because I was scared. I was afraid of saying no, of letting people down, and of what would happen if I actually slowed down.

But here’s the plot twist: slowing down didn’t mean I stopped moving toward my goals. It meant I finally paused long enough to listen—to my body, my mind, and what I truly needed.

Slowing down meant I became more present with what is important to me and it gave me the permission to invest meaningful time in it.

I started saying no to things that drained my energy, and I started ONLY saying yes to things that built up energy. And you know what? Everything shifted. I had more energy, clearer focus, and (bonus!) my shoulders finally dropped from my ears.

If this hits a little close to home, come to class this week on Tuesday and Thursday.

When your body is constantly in overdrive, it’s easy to feel disconnected from what matters to you and to fill your time with energy drains. The Bladder and Kidney Meridians are key to releasing that stuck energy and building up your natural energy reserves—especially when we’re overwhelmed by saying 'yes' and fearful of saying 'no'. It's like hitting a reset button for your mind and body!

It’s not about doing less; it’s about doing what more of what your body needs. 😉
