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.

Weirdly, right, it gets to like 1030 and I go, oh, no, I am not going to get enough sleep.

And I'm also not that tired all of a sudden.

So now I have trouble going to sleep.

So the thing that I'm realizing in myself is that like ignoring the interoception versus listening to it is part of the issue of like how we actually get in tune with our own bodies is actually to just pay attention to the message that is already coming through.

One of the big messages that I took away for myself from Body Electric was that I might think, like, I have these habits that let me, you know, stay up too late and not move enough.

But I'll make up for it by, you know, three times a week, like you said, or even let's be honest, not three times a week.

One time a week, I'll go and do like three hours of exercise.

I'll go do some big swimming or I'll go for a hike or something.
