Hello and welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom, home to more journalism opportunities than any other newsletter in the world.
Last week we talked about loosening our grip on certainty — doing what we can, then letting the rest be what it is. This week I want to talk about something we still treat as optional until it forces the issue: the body keeps the score.
I don’t mean that in a dramatic way. I mean the plain version most of us live: you can win the argument in your head, file the story, show up for everyone, tell yourself you’re fine — and your shoulders are still up by your ears. Your sleep is thin, your patience is short, you’re more reactive than you intend to be, and you can’t quite explain why, because nothing “happened” today. The mind moves on quickly, but the body doesn’t always get the memo.
I’ve done it for years — especially in stretches when work was busy and life was loud. Coffee instead of rest, and pushing through because that’s what discipline looks like from the outside. And then wondering why a small email lands like a personal attack, or why a free weekend doesn’t feel free. It wasn’t weakness, it was backlog — stress stored in the system, interest on a debt I kept refusing to acknowledge.
I’m finding this works on both micro and macro levels. On the micro level, it’s the Tuesday when you’re not in crisis, but you’re still braced — jaw tight, chest shallow, already tired before the day has asked anything of you. On the macro level, it’s the story we tell in ambitious cultures: that the mind is the worker and the body is the vehicle, and vehicles don’t get a vote. And every time I ignore the score, the same question surfaces: how much of my “personality” is actually physiology I haven’t tended to?
What experience has taught me is that caring for the body isn’t a wellness aesthetic. It’s maintenance, like charging a phone you actually need tomorrow. Sleep isn’t a treat. Food isn’t a moral test. Movement isn’t punishment for sitting at a desk. Boundaries aren’t selfish; they’re how you stop leaking energy you’ll need for the people and work you care about. The score isn’t punishment, it’s information.
So this week, check the score — not to obsess over it, but to listen. Pick one non-negotiable: sleep, a walk, a meal eaten sitting down, a hard stop time, one conversation that isn’t about work. Pick one subtraction: the late scroll, the extra hour that costs you tomorrow, the guilt that says rest must be earned. With that, here’s to treating your body like part of the job — not an inconvenience around it. See you next week.
