Look, no one will be fixing you without your participation in listening to what your body is trying to tell you. What’s the fear of feeling it? What will happen if you do? We steep ourselves in this culture of victimhood because it’s what we know and have been taught by countless doctors, parents and community members.... Step out of that, then ask: what’s stopping me from stepping in to me?

One of the things I try to remember is to review the "bad" times/things/moments with curiosity instead of the need to change them outright. . Curiosity causes us to choose different pathways of attention. This prioritizes pleasure because being *interested* feels *good*. . It's not really about bypassing the experience and pretending things are better. Instead, when we acknowledge the moment or sensation just as it is - a happening - followed by the invitation to see that exp...erience as neutral, just for a second, therein lies an opportunity for a new perspective. . I could go on about how this applies to intimacy, pain, healing and body awareness... but I'm going to leave that to your imagination... you know, just to let you practice. . Stay curious. . Artist unknown, pls tag!

We can embrace the choices we make for our bodies with full knowledge of their process by remaining connected to how they FEEL in the aftermath. . Today I'm making space to acknowledge that my body was pelted with toxic substances 3 weeks ago during surgery. Today I’m waiting for my first bleed since that event. . I'm looking in the mirror at this body. She got a little puffy. That's okay. She's looking worn out. That's okay too. Nothing is permanent here. Everything is water.... Water that needs to and will move. Water that will allow joy to seep back in and replace the painful process. . She's trying, she really is. I talk to her daily: You DID it. I'm so proud of you. You're my shining star. I feel your slowness. I feel you moving, despite all odds. I'll help you release the poisons we had to endure this month. I love you, I love you, I do. . . . #autumnalfeels See more
