“I gave my body to my work and now it's breaking down early.”

The body kept the score the whole time, and the bill came early. You can't undo the years of grinding it down. But the trap now is the same logic that got you here — pushing through, ignoring the signals, telling yourself there's time. There may be less than you think. Treat the body like the finite thing it is.

Your Practice

  1. Stop pretending the breakdown is temporary. Take it seriously now.
  2. Cut the work habits that are still grinding you down. They aren't worth the years.
  3. Do the one health thing you keep deferring. The deferral is the disease.
  4. Redefine success so it includes being alive and well enough to enjoy it.
