But I am willing to be that you know your own cues.  How often do you ignore them?   How often do you ignore the messages that your body is sending you? How often do you just push them to the side and say, “I just have to get through” this date, or this project, or these thing?

I’d really like to “do life coaching” one day but I don’t really have time now. I don’t really have the time and energy to dedicate to coaching long-term on this thing right now.
