The Sunday Whisper: The Art of Being On Your Own Side
The Sunday Whisper invites you into the art of being on your own side - a practice of self-trust, compassion, and alignment that transforms how you walk through the world.
“Being on your own side feels like exhaling after holding your breath for years.”
TL;DR
Your body already knows how to heal, but the noise of the world has pulled you away from listening. The moment you return to your body’s wisdom is the moment you begin to build unshakable alignment. This piece blends my story of burnout and reconnection with a simple framework for tuning back into what your body is asking of you.
The Cost of Ignoring Your Body
There was a season of my life when I could not hear myself anymore.
I kept pushing for more sales, more growth, more approval. On the surface, I looked successful. Inside, I was falling apart. I remember sitting at my desk late at night, staring at a glowing computer screen, and realizing I could not even recall the last line I had read. My hands were shaking from too much coffee, my head was heavy from lack of sleep, and my chest carried the weight of an anxiety I could not name.
This was the cost of ignoring my body. It was speaking, but I had stopped listening.
How I Began to Reconnect
The turning point was not dramatic. It was quiet.
One morning, I walked outside barefoot and let the grass press against my feet. I had left my phone inside. The air was cool, the ground was damp, and for the first time in years I felt my body exhale. In that moment, I realized it was not asking me to quit. It was asking me to return.
From that day forward, I began experimenting with small acts of alignment. Water before coffee. Journaling before screens. Deep breaths before decisions.
They seemed simple, almost insignificant. Yet they became anchors that pulled me back to myself.
A Simple Framework to Listen to Your Body
If you feel disconnected right now, try this four step practice:
Step 1: Notice the signals. Pay attention to the small whispers of fatigue, cravings, headaches, or irritability.
Step 2: Pause without judgment. Instead of forcing yourself to push through, give yourself a moment of stillness.
Step 3: Ask the question. Gently ask, “What do you need right now?”
Step 4: Honor the answer. Drink the water, step outside, rest your eyes, stretch, or simply breathe. Trust that small actions compound into healing.
This is how you begin to rebuild trust with yourself.
The Mind Body Connection
Science calls it the mind body connection. I call it remembering who you are.
When you align with your body’s wisdom, you start to see that self healing is not a future event. It is something that unfolds in every small decision to care for yourself. Each time you listen instead of suppress, you build an inner confidence that no external achievement can replace.
A Question for You
How do you know when your body is trying to tell you something?
Often it begins as tension in the shoulders, headaches that arrive at the same time each day, or cravings that mask deeper needs. These are not inconveniences. They are signals. They are reminders that your body is not your enemy. It is your guide.
The Whisper for the Week Ahead
If you are in a season where you feel pulled in a thousand directions, where the noise of the world is louder than your own intuition, I want you to remember this:
Your body already knows how to heal.
The question is not whether it is possible. The question is whether you are willing to listen.
Because when you finally choose to be on your own side, life stops feeling like a battle. It begins to feel like an invitation.
