## Resource

You know that feeling at the end of a long day when you finally sit down and realize you've been holding your shoulders up by your ears for the last six hours? That's what I want to talk about tonight. Not the day itself — whatever happened, happened — but the way your body has been carrying it. The way you've been braced against the world since the moment you woke up. And the quiet, gentle permission to stop bracing. To let go. To soften. I had a friend who used to say, "I don't know how to relax." She'd say it casually, like it was a funny quirk, like some people are left-handed and some people can't parallel park and some people just can't relax. But it wasn't funny. It was exhausting. She was always tense. Always ready for the next thing.
