WEEK THREE: “The Body Knows Before the Mind” By Robert L. Pruitt, II

You can override your intuition with logic.

You can silence your truth with schedules.

But your body keeps the score—and the story.

This week isn’t about thinking your way to clarity.

It’s about listening to the wisdom that lives beneath your ribs, behind your breath, below the noise.

You might not know what’s next.

But your body does.

And it’s been whispering to you all week.

Are you still enough to hear it?

🤔Reflection Questions

1. Where in your body have you been feeling tension or tightness?

2. What physical sensation keeps showing up when you’re overwhelmed or uncertain?

3. What would happen if you treated that discomfort as a message—not a malfunction?

4. Which parts of your life make your body soften?

5. What rhythms of rest or movement bring you home to yourself?
