When I was growing up, my mom used to have to stop me from overextending myself. She would say, "you don't have any stopping sense". She was right. I didn't actually know how to stop. To be still. To just BE. Fast forward decades later. I finally understand what she meant. It took me collapsing emotionally, physically, and even spiritually...on more that 1, 2, or 10 occasions. But I am here. I no longer require the collapse as an indicator that I need to rest. To be still. I'm not perfect at it...but that's not my expectation of myself. I decided to slow down...to take care of myself...to be still. I think I found my #stoppingsense. #bestill #beingstill #rest #drtemeika #selfcare #womenshealth #empoweringwomen
