This is Home
Home - something that feels familiar, warm and accepting. Obviously all things that I feel when I enter my physical living space - but more importantly all things I feel when I am being true to myself, and who I strive to be. This past year has been trying for my mental health. In November of 2019, I said “no more” to the actions of my eating disorder, and decided to choose ME and a more fulfilling life. At that time, I had been suffering from my eating disorder for several years in secret and at that time it felt that there was absolutely no end in sight.
I was at war with my body and needed to reconnect with myself. Please all rise for - YOGA. I don’t even know where to begin to explain the gratitude I have for my asana practice. This practice lead me to reconnect with my breath, my body and honestly my purpose (but like who doesn’t question this all the time). There is something about be in a room of like-minded people, being told when/how to breathe and when/how to move.

Having a true out of body experience is what led me to getting back in touch my body. I allowed myself to sit with my emotions and also gave myself grace when I needed it (still really working on this LOL). I didn’t know how to treat my body nor how to treat my overall well-being, and so proud of how far I have come in the past 10 months. My therapist always tells me that I need to start treating myself the way that I treat others - with love, admiration and kindness. My body is the home that will carry me the rest of my life, and and I proud of this body. This body is home.
