Why does my life feel stuck? Not in crisis, just on repeat — the same job, the same argument, the same amount in the bank. This is the quietest blockage there is, and it isn’t a motivation problem.
Somebody works on your shoulder and that night you sleep better — nobody touched your sleep. Why does a massage help my sleep? Because the body is one connected system, not a set of separate parts.
