The fog set in this week—gray, drizzly, and disorienting. I thought I was practicing self-care while finishing my website: taking breaks, playing soothing music, even reaching for coffee to push through. But when I looked closer, I realized I was performing self-care while ignoring what my body actually needed. This is the moment we usually lash out or berate ourselves. But what if we paused instead? The liminal center of this season asks us to slow down enough to notice what we're actually doing and whether it's serving us.
