This last month, I have been exhausted. Rather than push through to get it things done on time, I have been honouring what my body has been asking for. That feels like a useful place to begin July. Everywhere I turn at the moment, people are saying the same thing. “I’m tired.” Not unwell, overwhelmed or in crisis, just tired. Exhausted even. There is a felt sense of tiredness around, and I don’t think it is something to dismiss. Summer can look light and full from the outside, but it does not always feel that way inside the body. We have longer days, less darkness, later nights, fuller diaries, more social plans, more movement, more heat and more doing. We often try to pack life into summer and then wonder why our bodies begin to feel scattered, heavy, or worn thin. So if you are feeling tired this month, perhaps the question is not, “What is wrong with me?” Perhaps the better question is: What is my body trying to tell me? Not the surface answer.Not the automatic “I’m fine.”Not the version that keeps everything moving. The honest answer and the one you can only hear when you stop long
