But on the good days, you will realize you have built something unshakeable: a relationship with your body based on trust, not war. You will exercise because it feels good to move. You will eat because food is fuel and joy. You will rest because you are human.
When you practice rest without shame, you break the Puritanical link between suffering and virtue. You realize you are worthy of care even when you are not "producing."
The goal of intuitive movement is to reconnect with your proprioception—the sense of where your body is in space—without judgment. When you stop exercising to change your shape and start exercising to feel your aliveness, consistency becomes effortless. You aren't "disciplined"; you are drawn to the activity because it feels good.
