Body Language (6/7): Your Body Is Speaking-Are You Listening? #SELFCARESATURDAY

Today, on the Suite Spot, we explore the power of slowing down and listening to our bodies after a week focused on projecting powerful body language. Dr. Derek Suite guides us through activating the parasympathetic nervous system—our body's built-in healing mechanism—through mindful breathing.

KEY SUITE SPOTS
• Where is your body holding stress today?
• Don't try to fix tension—simply notice it
• Breathe in through the nose for 4 seconds, exhale through the mouth for 6 seconds
• This breathing pattern activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and restore)
• Lowering cortisol and slowing heart rate through intentional breathing
• Finding parallels in nature—trees don't rush to bloom, rivers don't force their flow
• Ancient wisdom: "In returning and rest, you shall be saved"
• Challenge: Set a 5-minute timer, scan your body and ask "where do you need me?"
• Tomorrow: Slow Down Sunday focuses on stillness as a high-performance practice
