Why Your Body Might Be Asking for More Than Rest

Recovery isn’t just sleep or rest days.

Many women are physically resting but still living in a constant state of internal pressure — rushing, judging, worrying about results, or feeling behind.

Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between:
• emotional stress
• mental load
• physical training

If it never feels safe, your body stays in protection mode.

True recovery includes:
• predictable routines
• permission to slow down without guilt
• emotional decompression
• training that ends with you feeling steady, not fried

This is often the missing piece that unlocks stalled progress.
