Hesitation

I was talking recently with a fellow mental health advocate about hesitation. She mentioned a situation where she hesitated before giving an answer. She later discovered her hesitation was a nonverbal indicator to her body saying no.
​

Sometimes when people ask us to do something, we may hesitate before giving an answer. Pay attention to that hesitation. Your body is trying to tell you something that your brain may not have processed yet.

Your body knows you can't take on one more church project.
Your body knows you're overwhelmed with work responsibilities.
Your body knows you can't go to another dinner with an abusive family member.
Your body knows you need distance from a toxic person or situation.
Your body knows you are tired and need rest.

Pay attention when you hesitate, and search deeply to find out what that momentary hesitation means to you.
