Aligned or Self-Betrayal

By cegan

a body of water

We know what’s true.
Our bodies tell us. We feel it.
If it doesn’t light us up, if it doesn’t feel good, we let it go. Period.

I said yes to something recently that I didn’t realize wasn’t right for me. I thought I could handle it. I couldn’t. Stress hit like a brick, tension crept in, and soon it was everywhere—a sense of dread hanging over everything I touched. My body screamed: This isn’t right.

Ignoring that voice? It’s never worth it. It’s not just a mistake. It’s self-betrayal.

That tension? That weight? It’s there for a reason. When we ignore it, it doesn’t go away. It spreads—stress, restlessness, dis-ease.

When I finally said no, the relief was immediate. The weight lifted. Suddenly, I could focus again on what mattered.

Only do it if you love it. Only if it feels good.

Anything else chips away at us, bit by bit. Our health. Our happiness. Our lives.

We know what’s right. When we honor our truth, we thrive. We feel it—and the benefits radiate.

Let’s Talk About Health

I work with accomplished professionals who want to look and feel as healthy as they are successful. They spent years prioritizing success over health, and are now troubled by excess weight, exhaustion, and foggy thinking at work and home. I help them take control of their health, so they can focus on what matters in their life and career.
