so I threw out my back...
first time I've ever had to cancel clinic and not show up for acupuncture

it made me think hard about the things I discuss with patients that I have a really hard time doing myself

slowing down
taking time off
listening to my body
knowing when to say no
feeling like if I stop the whole world will come tumbling down
operating from abundance instead of scarcity, and stressing out every day about how I will make rent

I am trying to take this as an opportunity to get right with my body,
while holding that we live in a system that demands overwork and shut down as the norm

I dream and imagine worlds where we can go at our pace, where different abilities are honored, where slow time is part of the work week, where resources are distributed fairly, and basics such as healthcare, housing and food are covered

what is your body yearning for?
what worlds do you dream of? (shout out of gratitude @hajihealingsalon and @free_bodypt for reacting with care to my not being able to show up, and to all that have checked in and helped out❤❤❤)
