Listening to Your Body
The Signal for Change
Like the seasons, everything in life and business is constantly changing. When we resist those natural shifts, the body becomes the first messenger, whispering through fatigue, tension, or restlessness until it finally demands attention.
Most leaders are taught to push through. To caffeinate, to fix, to power ahead. But your body isn’t an obstacle to your goals. It’s the dashboard of your entire system, giving you real-time feedback on how you’re living, working, and leading.
The Real Problem: Overriding the Signals
When you ignore your body’s signals, clarity fades.
You start to confuse productivity with purpose.
You overcommit, overextend, and underconnect.
The truth is, your body starts whispering long before burnout sets in. Fatigue, anxiety, and tension aren’t flaws, they’re invitations to pause, listen, and realign.
Reframing Awareness: Your Body as a Dashboard
Just like you’d read financial data before making a business decision, your body offers daily data about how you’re managing your time, energy, attention, and money, what I call your primary resources.
When sleep, digestion, or focus shift, it’s not random. It’s feedback.
Instead of judgment, get curious:
What am I doing out of obligation instead of purpose?
What habits are draining energy instead of fueling it?
What might need to change in my environment, relationships, or routines?
Listening to this feedback early allows for gentle adjustments instead of forced pivots later.
Decoding the Signals
Here’s how to begin interpreting your body’s cues:
Fatigue → You’re giving more than you’re receiving.
Ask: What can I simplify or delegate this week?Headaches or Mental Fog → Too much input, not enough integration.
Ask: What can I unplug from to create space for clarity?Tension or Tightness → You’re gripping for control.
Ask: Where can I soften, breathe, or trust support?Restlessness → Something creative or expressive is being suppressed.
Ask: What wants to move or be expressed right now?
Each signal is data. Each is a compass, pointing you toward the adjustments that create peace, focus, and flow.
Lifestyle Awareness: What’s in Your Control
Research shows that up to 90% of disease is influenced by lifestyle, what you eat, how you rest, the thoughts you repeat, and the way you spend your time.
That’s not a statistic meant to create pressure. It’s meant to empower you.
You are not powerless.
You have influence, over rhythm, mindset, and alignment.
Start noticing how your habits reflect or resist the current season. As fall slows the pace of nature, maybe your body is asking for more rest or reflection. As daylight shortens, maybe your focus needs refinement. These shifts aren’t indulgent, they’re intelligent.
When you sync your habits with nature’s rhythm, you reclaim harmony, what we call harmoney at Lila Life, where prosperity and wellbeing coexist.
