Key Takeaways:

Motivation is a nervous system privilege 🧠 — pushing through without regulation leads to shutdown.

Consistency starts with body awareness — track breath, posture, and energy before acting.

Creative consistency thrives when the nervous system feels safe.

Productivity isn’t about willpower — it’s about physiological safety and nervous system support.

Your body leads, not your to-do list — trust signals over schedules.
