Spent most of my 20s doing what every podcast and 5am morning routine video told me to do. Wake up earlier, push harder, optimize everything. Turns out my body was quietly telling me it needed sleep and rest the whole time, I just wasn't listening. At 34 I've started actually checking in with how I feel before deciding what to do that day. Tired means rest, not push through. Hungry means eat, not intermittent fast until noon. Sore means walk, not another heavy session. Wish I'd figured out sooner that my body was smarter than any productivity guru online
