You’re not lazy
Your system is
undernourished
Book two
The Cost of Abandonment
This isn’t about what you’re doing wrong.
It’s about what your system never got enough of.
This book meets you in the aftermath of emotional self-abandonment not as a punishment, but as a consequence of survival.
Because when your needs were inconvenient, when care was sporadic or unsafe, you learned to override.
To function instead of feel.
To numb instead of nourish.
To adapt so well to disconnection, you forgot it wasn’t your nature, it was your strategy.
But inside that adaptation, your body paid a price.
What You'll Explore
✨ How long-term self-neglect leads to biochemical poverty
✨ The role of neurotransmitters (like serotonin and dopamine) in emotional regulation
✨ Why things that should feel good often don’t anymore
✨ How imagination, micro-pleasure, and symbolic rituals begin to reset your system

A Note from the Author
I used to think I just wasn’t motivated.
That I was lazy. Undisciplined. Too sensitive.
But really, I was chemically under-resourced.
Spiritually dehydrated.
This book is where I stopped blaming myself,
and started nourishing myself back into life.
One moment of pleasure.
One stretch of breath.
One kind whisper at a time.
This Book is For You If…
✨ You feel “off” but can’t explain why
✨ You’ve lost interest in the things that once brought you joy
✨ You’ve been running on fumes for so long, you forgot what fullness feels like
✨ You crave softness, but don’t know how to let yourself receive it
✨ You’re ready to rebuild your energy, one micro-yes at a time
Ready to Feel Again?
This is not where you push through.
This is where you rest. Where you remember that your sensuality is not indulgent: it’s how your body heals.
