I listened before resentment entered my body

Dear Delyara, This week I noticed I was running low and changed course before resentment, fatigue, and tension had fully taken over. That is the kind of health victory I want to learn to respect properly. Not just responding to pain once it becomes undeniable. Responding to the earlier signs. The mood. The strain. The heaviness. The sense that I am one more demand away from becoming harder than I want to be. I listened sooner. That felt wise.
