Walking isn't an option or, you know, even walking for five minutes every 30 minutes is actually like, that's going to be quite a challenge.

Not because just of the structural parts of your life, but because of your physical health or your situation.

So when that comes up, how do you, how do you respond to that?

When I think about interoception, which I think is such a cool concept that we can all relate to, and the idea of building your own interoception and practicing that, of listening to what you actually need and when do you need it.

One idea that comes to mind for me is that often around like...

8, 8.30 p.m.

Especially if I had a really like big day and I have young kids, so I wake up really early sometimes.

I will find like, wow, I am so tired.

I'll have this like awareness in my body.

I'm so tired.

I could go to sleep right now.

But then I think it's 8.30.

I should do something else.

Right.

And then I like look at my phone or I eat some sort of snack or I watch a show.

Totally.

And so I find a way to distract myself from the interoception.

I say like rather than acknowledge that my body is saying, hey, we could use some sleep right now.

I do something else.

And then.
