Your Body Knows

It’s Sunday evening.

The sun begins its quiet descent, casting that golden-hour glow over the dishes you haven’t put away… the laundry you haven’t folded… the life you’re not sure you want to return to in the morning.


And somewhere inside, a familiar ache starts to rise.

It’s not loud. It doesn’t scream. But it’s there.


A tightness in your jaw.A weight in your chest.A weariness so deep it doesn’t feel like it belongs to just this week.


Maybe it feels like dread.Maybe like quiet grief.Or maybe like a longing so old you don’t even have a name for it anymore.


Before you override it, numb it, or convince yourself to just “suck it up”...

Pause. And listen.


This isn’t weakness. It isn’t laziness. It isn’t failure.

It’s information.


Your body is trying to tell you something that your mind has learned to rationalize away:

  • The tension? That’s your nervous system gripping against a life that doesn’t feel safe or aligned.

  • The fatigue? Not just physical. It’s the soul-level exhaustion of pretending you’re fine.

  • That ache in your gut? It’s your intuition—the wild part of you—begging you to pay attention.


We live in a culture that trains us to distrust our bodies, override our needs, and treat discomfort as something to fix or sedate.

But discomfort is a compass—a whisper from the deeper parts of you saying:


“This isn’t working.”


You don’t have to blow up your life tonight. But what if you made one small promise to yourself?

🌀 To rest instead of push.

🌀 To feel instead of flee.

🌀 To listen, even if you don’t know what you’ll hear.


Because your wild self—the part of you that remembers the rhythm of real life—has not forgotten.


It knows what peace feels like.It knows what aliveness feels like.And it knows the difference between performing and being.


💬 Tonight, ask yourself:

  • What does my body want me to know?

  • What truth have I been avoiding because it might require change?

  • What small act of reclamation can I offer myself this week?


You’re not alone in this ache.And you’re not broken for feeling it.


The Sunday Evening Blahs aren’t just emotional noise.They’re the signal that something inside you is ready to be reclaimed.


And that, maybe, it’s time to stop bracing for Monday…and start listening for something wilder, truer, and more whole.


If this resonates, Rewilding Your Soul isn’t a quick fix.It’s a slow return to who you were before the world told you who to be.


Let this ache be your beginning.
