When your body is leveling up but your mind feels like it’s lagging
Lately I’ve been feeling something new — not a collapse, not a setback… just this quiet heaviness in my system.
Like the energy is there, but the spark is hiding behind a layer I haven’t broken through yet.
My routines are solid.
My discipline is intact.
My body’s getting stronger.
But mentally, I’ve been feeling sluggish.
Almost like something has been draining me in the background.
Here’s what I’m realizing:
Sometimes you grow so fast that your nervous system needs time to catch up.
Sometimes the old version of you tries to flare up one more time before it dies for good.
Sometimes the “drain” isn’t weakness — it’s transition.
So I’m sharing this here because this is part of the work too.
Not just the wins.
Not just the breakthroughs.
But the moments where you’re in between versions of yourself and you don’t fully recognize the ground you’re standing on.
If you’re in a season like this, you’re not slipping…
you’re expanding.
And expansion always feels strange before it feels right.
