Do you ever say “yes” to something even, when exhausted or depleted?

We’ve all experienced these moments–for some reason or another, you overcommit even when you don't have the capacity—and your whole day seems to spiral from there.

What if instead, you responded based on how you were feeling? If you were honest with yourself and others about the energy you have?

Today, I’m joined by a dear friend and coaching colleague, Allison Evans. In this episode, we examine each element of the body budget—sleep, food and water, nature, movement, and connection with others—and how meditation facilitates caring for all five. You’ll hear:

1. How I got better at managing my body budget over time
2. How emotions have metabolic consequences for your body
3. What it looks like to experience how you feel–tired, hungry, thirsty–without telling yourself a larger, damaging story about it

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

I invite you to use Allison’s meditative moment to notice your body budget, particularly in relation to your partner.

Or, if you’d rather, your habit for this week could be to take a moment and simply name for yourself which of the five body budget elements--food and water, sleep, movement, nature, or relationships—is most volatile for you.
