The Driver
You perform by pushing
You're the one who keeps going. Tired isn't a reason to stop, it's just the weather. You measure a day by what got done, and "enough" always seems to live one task further on.
The restlessness underneath the doing isn't a flaw. In Dr. Dan's work it's the necessary falling apart that comes before things come back together at a higher level. Your body has been sending signals for a while, and performance mode taught you to override them. The body keeps score, and it's asking for your attention now.
Body Wisdom (Somatic Intelligence). Presence here isn't doing less for its own sake. It's learning to read your body's signals before they become symptoms, and finding you're sharper when you're not running on fumes.
Before your next decision, pause and check your body. Tense shoulders? Shallow breath? It knows before your mind does.
Every one of these patterns has a way through, and it isn't about trying harder. If you'd like to keep exploring yours, listen to the Make It a Great One podcast, where Dr. Dan goes deeper on what it takes to build a life that lasts.
