Deposits and Withdrawls
One of the easiest ways to understand your physical health is to think of it like a bank account. Every physically demanding day is a withdrawal. Long hours at work, a tough workout, hours spent driving, or a day of travel all take something out of your body’s postural balance and energy reserves.
On the other side are your deposits. These are the exercises and routines that restore alignment, build strength, and give your body a chance to recover. Posture therapy, restorative movement, even proper rest all serve as inputs that replenish your system.
Just like a real bank account, the math has to work. If you keep making withdrawals without enough deposits, the account runs dry. For your body, that means pain, stiffness, fatigue, and dysfunction. These are the “overdraft fees” of your physical health.
This is why consistency matters. If you’ve had a string of hard days, it’s a sign to prioritize recovery and get back to your daily menu or restorative practice. It’s not about avoiding withdrawals altogether, life will always make demands on you, but about keeping the balance in check.
When you match what you take out with what you put back in, your body has the resources to keep performing, healing, and adapting. Over time, that balance keeps you not only pain-free but capable of handling the activities and challenges that matter most to you.
