The Tending Hand

You'll care for anyone else's body before you'll tend to your own.

What This Names

You notice immediately when someone else looks tired, skips a meal, or pushes through pain — and you say something. You extend to yourself none of the attention you extend automatically to everyone around you.

The Pattern

Most people don't neglect their health from ignorance. They neglect it because tending to themselves feels like an indulgence they haven't earned yet, while tending to others feels unquestionably right. The body doesn't know the difference between whose care it's owed. It just accumulates what it doesn't get.

Sit With This

What would you tell a friend who was treating their body the way you've been treating yours? Why is the same advice harder to take from yourself?

A Small Practice

Do one small thing for your body today that you'd insist a friend do for theirs — water, food, rest, movement. Just one.
