Why We Keep Ignoring Our Body's Signals: Ayurveda and Self-Awareness - 459
Episode 459
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
Have you ever found yourself saying, "I'm fine," even though you know you're exhausted? Maybe you've been living with bloating, poor sleep, low energy, headaches or digestive discomfort for so long that it has simply become your normal. You know something feels different, but life is busy, there are people depending on you, and there's always something else that seems more important. In Episode 458, we explored how Ayurveda views symptoms as messages from the body rather than problems to simply suppress. In this episode, we take the conversation a step further and explore why we so often ignore those messages in the first place. We've become fluent in the language of productivity, achievement and pushing through, but many of us have lost our fluency in the language of the body. We learn to override tiredness, rush through meals, ignore digestive discomfort and tell ourselves that poor sleep is "just stress" or that feeling exhausted is simply part of getting older. Colette shares some of the patterns she has observed through her work with clients, including how easily we can adapt to feeling less well and gradually lower our expectations of what it means to feel healthy and balanced. In this episode, we'll explore: Why we become accustomed to ignoring the body's early signals The psychology behind saying "I'm fine" when we're actually exhausted How modern life encourages us to push through and prioritise productivity Why symptoms can gradually become so normal that we stop questioning them The connection between youthful vitality and our ability to compensate for imbalance Why some of the habits we tolerated when we were younger may affect us differently as we age How Ayurveda encourages curiosity rather than judgement Why awareness is the first step towards meaningful change How to become more fluent in the language of your own body A simple daily question you can use to begin listening more closely Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.
