Our bodies are talking to us all the time, and in this episode, we dig deep into how to listen to what they’re saying. Pain isn't just something to push away; it’s actually a teacher, giving us vital info about our well-being. I share my own experiences with body pain and how I've learned to understand the signals my body sends me, even when it doesn't feel like I have control. We’ll explore how ignoring these messages can lead to bigger issues and why tuning in is so important. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our bodies and learn to read the signs they give us!

If you really want to know how to be healthy, more energy and sleep better. Listen to your body. One of our biggest teachers is our own body, yes your body. It is giving you all the information you need to make wise decisions, yet we very often do not listen to it.

In this podcast Steven Webb the host of Stillness in the Storms talks about his body, his paralysed body and how he needs to listen to it a little more deeply than most would have to.


Pain can be more than just a nuisance; it can be a teacher. I want to dive deep into how our bodies communicate with us and how we often ignore these signals. In this podcast, I share my own experiences with pain and how they reflect the messages our bodies are constantly sending. I talk about my paralysis and how it alters my perception of pain. For me, pain isn't always clear because I don't feel it in the same way most people do. Instead, I have to rely on other signs from my body to understand what it's trying to tell me. This journey into understanding my body has taught me that every little discomfort or ache can provide valuable insight into my health and well-being.


Through my stories, I encourage listeners to start tuning into their bodies. I explain how ignoring subtle signs can lead to bigger issues down the road. For example, when I was overweight or eating poorly, my body was sending me hints through fatigue and discomfort. I emphasize the importance of becoming aware of these messages, whether it’s feeling sluggish after a big meal or not being able to focus due to dehydration. Our bodies need us to listen and respond appropriately. By taking the time to understand our physical sensations, we can prevent more significant problems and lead healthier lives.


As we wrap up, I suggest practical ways to start this process of listening to our bodies. Simple practices like taking deep breaths and slowing down can help us become more aware of what our bodies are saying. I invite listeners to engage with their physical sensations, to ask themselves what their pain might be trying to teach them. This approach can lead to a richer understanding of health and well-being, making us more in tune with the most crucial aspect of our lives: our bodies. Let's learn to respect and listen to our bodies, recognizing that pain serves a purpose and can guide us toward better health.

Takeaways:

  • Our bodies are like teachers, using pain to communicate important information to us.
  • Listening to our bodies can lead to understanding our discomforts and how to address them.
  • When we ignore body signals, we risk worsening our health and wellbeing in the long run.
  • Taking a moment to breathe and check in with our bodies can reveal valuable insights.
