16/100 Listening to Your Body

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 16

Message:
“Your body carries wisdom that words cannot express—listen to it with patience and an open heart.”

       .                 

We live in a world full of noise—external and internal. Voices tell us what we should feel, how we should look, what we should accomplish, and even how we should heal. But often, in the quiet moments—beneath all the words and expectations—there is another voice waiting to be heard.

The voice of the body.

Your body has been with you through every season of life. It remembers joy, pain, tenderness, and trauma. It holds stories that were never spoken out loud and knows truths you haven’t yet put into words.

And sometimes, it speaks through a tight chest, a clenched jaw, tired shoulders, or a sudden flutter in the stomach. These aren’t just “symptoms”—they’re messages. Invitations. Reminders. The body isn’t trying to betray us; it’s trying to communicate with us. All it asks is that we listen—with patience and an open heart.

Today, I invite you to pause. To soften your focus and simply ask:
“What is my body trying to tell me?”

You might notice a deep fatigue that wants your care.
Or a sense of tension asking for release.
Maybe you feel grounded—peaceful—and your body is saying, “Stay here a while.”

Whatever arises, greet it without judgment. Let it speak in its own language—through breath, sensation, stillness, or movement.

You don’t need to fix anything right away. Just be present.
Because healing begins when we learn to listen, even when we don’t fully understand.

✨ Reflection Prompt:
What does your body want to tell you today, beyond words?
Tune in to its signals—and trust its messages.

15/100 - the Perfect Pace

 

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 15

"The Perfect Pace"  

Message:
“There is no rush, your body moves at its own pace, and that is the perfect rhythm for today.”

We live in a culture of urgency—fast answers, fast results, fast everything. But healing doesn’t work that way. Growth doesn’t rush. And your body, wise and attuned, has its own pace for everything: for rest, for movement, for processing, for returning to balance.

Today’s healing is a reminder that slowness is not a flaw.
It’s a form of wisdom.

When you move slower, you begin to feel again.
You notice the breath you were holding.
You catch the tension in your shoulders before it becomes pain.
You reconnect to the present moment, where healing lives.

There is no need to force yourself to keep up with a pace that doesn’t honor your body.
You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to take your time.
You are allowed to move gently, even when the world moves fast.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

Where in your day can you slow down and move at a pace that feels gentle and right for your body?

Maybe it’s how you get out of bed.
How you eat your lunch.
How you transition between tasks.
Choose one moment and give yourself permission to slow it down.

Today, let your pace be a form of kindness.
Let it be enough.

14/100 - Worthy of Care

 

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 14

"Worthy of Care"

Message:
“You are worthy of rest, of nourishment, and of care. Honor your body’s needs with love and gentleness.”

So many of us move through the day ignoring the signals our bodies send—fatigue, hunger, tightness, tension—as if they’re distractions from what really matters. But what if those signals are the invitation? What if your body isn’t the barrier to your growth and healing...but the very gateway?

You are not required to earn rest.
You don’t have to prove your worth to deserve care.
Your need for restoration is not a weakness, restoration is a form of wisdom.

Today’s healing begins with a return to gentleness.

Whether your body is asking for stillness, movement, hydration, or just five quiet minutes of doing nothing… can you respond not with guilt, but with love?

Because caring for yourself isn’t self-indulgent. It’s sacred.
And when you tend to your body with compassion, you create space for healing to unfold.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

What is one way you can show your body love today?...through rest?... nourishment? ...kindness?

Maybe it’s taking a nap without apology.
Eating something your body truly wants.
Stretching, walking, or simply placing your hand over your heart and saying, “Thank you.”

Whatever it looks like for you today, let this way of love and restoration be enough.
Let it be love in action.

13/100 - A Living Miracle

 

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 13

"A Living Miracle"

Message:
“You are a living, breathing miracle, allow your body to remind you of its beauty with every inhale and exhale.”

Sometimes healing begins not with doing, but with noticing.
Noticing that you’re here.
Noticing that you’re breathing.
Noticing that your body, in all its complexity, is carrying you through this life moment by moment.

In a culture obsessed with fixing and improving, it’s easy to forget:
You are already a miracle.

Every breath you take is a quiet, rhythmic reminder of life’s grace.
Your lungs expand without asking.
Your heart beats without effort.
Your cells repair, your blood flows, your body lives, even when you’re not paying attention.

Today’s healing is rooted in gratitude for the ordinary, which is never really ordinary at all.

Let your breath remind you of this truth:
You are enough. You are here. And that alone is sacred.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

Take a moment to simply be with your breath.
Feel it move in and out, without force, without control.
Now ask yourself:
How does my body feel in this moment of gratitude?

Notice what softens.
Notice what awakens.
Let gratitude be your medicine today, not because everything is perfect, but because 

you are present enough to witness it.

12/100 - The Stillness Within

 

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 12

"The Stillness Within"

Message:
“You have the ability to create stillness within...your breath, your heart, your presence...all hold the key.”

In a world that never stops moving, stillness can feel like a luxury or even a fantasy. But stillness isn’t something we have to search for in silence or escape. Stillness is something we can cultivate from within, one breath at a time.

Stillness is not the absence of movement. It is the presence of calm.
It is the quiet in your chest after a deep breath.
It is the grounding you feel when you return to the present moment.
It is the space between thoughts where clarity lives.

You don’t have to wait for the perfect setting to experience peace.
Your own breath is a doorway.
Your own presence is a sanctuary.
You carry the key to stillness with you, always.

Today, let yourself slow down...just enough to notice what’s already steady inside you. Maybe it’s the rhythm of your breath. Maybe it’s the beating of your heart. Maybe it’s the way your body knows how to be, even in chaos.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

Take a few deep breaths and observe:
Where do you feel most still in your body?
How can you invite more of that stillness into your day?

Maybe it’s a pause between tasks.
A slow walk without your phone.
A quiet moment with your hand over your heart. (feeling your breath move through you)

Let today be a gentle reminder:
Stillness doesn’t have to be found. It can be created.

And you, my friend, are the creator.

11/100 Power in Every Part

 

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 11

"Power in Every Part"

Message:
“Your body is a source of strength and beauty, even in moments of vulnerability. Embrace your power in all its forms.”

We live in a world that often measures our worth by performance, appearance, or productivity. In that world, it’s easy to overlook the quiet miracles happening in your body every day.

The breath that keeps coming. (it does keep coming)
The heart that keeps beating. (as it is created to do)
The muscles that carry you through your routines, even on the hard days. (those muscles are AMAZING)

Even when you feel tired, hurting, or self-critical, your body is still showing up for you. Still strong. Still beautiful. Still yours.

Today’s healing begins with reclaiming your body not as a problem to fix, but as a partner to celebrate.

da Vinci's Vetruvian man

Vulnerability doesn’t erase strength, it reveals it.

In fact, your ability to show up in tenderness, in fatigue, in imperfection… that is power.
And that power deserves to be honored.

You don’t have to love every inch of your body all the time.  You are a human being and in a relationship with you body there is some ebb and flow of love.
But what if, just for today, you chose to celebrate even one part of it?
A part that carries you. A part that reflects your resilience.
A part that’s been with you through everything.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

What is one aspect of your body you can celebrate today, even if it feels small or unnoticed?

Maybe it’s the strength in your hands.
The softness of your belly. (this one is a hard one for me)
The steadiness of your breath.
The light in your eyes.

Pause. Honor it. Let that celebration plant a seed of healing.

10/100 - Rooted In Support

🌿 100 Days of Healing – Day 10

Rooted In Support

Message:

“You are always connected to the earth beneath you, supported and steady, allow yourself to feel this deep support today.”

In the whirlwind of daily life, stress, uncertainty, fast decisions, it’s easy to feel unmoored, like we’re drifting or even free-falling through our responsibilities. But there’s a quiet truth we often overlook:

You are never untethered.
You are always connected to something deeper, something steady.

The earth beneath you has been holding you since the moment you were born. Every step you’ve ever taken has been supported. Every breath you’ve drawn, grounded in this unseen relationship with the ground below.

Today’s healing begins with a simple remembering:
You are held.
You are supported.
You are never alone in your overwhelm.

This isn’t just metaphor. It’s embodiment.

Pause to feel your feet on the floor or the ground.  YOU anchor your nervous system. Your body gets the signal: “I’m here. I’m safe. I don’t need to brace.”

Go ahead and try it right now...
Close your eyes if you can.
Feel the soles of your feet.
Feel the ground beneath them.
Notice how the earth holds you.  The earth holds you not because you earned it, but because that’s what it does.  Always.

This deep support is available at any moment, and is especially useful in the stressful ones.

---

🌱 Reflection Prompt

In moments of stress, how can you pause and reconnect to the earth beneath you?
How does it feel to imagine your feet rooted in the ground...steady, supported, and safe?

Let today be a day you practice grounding, not just in your mind, but in your body. Let it be a day of coming home to yourself, one rooted breath at a time.
