So Grateful To Have A Body :)
So, I just spent several days over the last week at pole fitness classes (please note that the definition does NOT include stripping), and feel like I’ve been beaten up and flat out kicked in the shins a bunch. I’ve also been on a bender watching TLC/Discovery shows about severely overweight/obese people changing their lives (so there’s been some crying all over the place…lol, the celebration at the end always gets me!!).
Basically this has added up to my having a moment of intense gratitude toward my body. So often we aren’t satisfied, so often we feel we’re not strong enough/thin enough/good enough, and really-it’s just not true. In this moment, we’re perfect. We are so lucky to be alive, to even have functioning bodies. It’s amazing and it’s beautiful.
So despite now having massive bruises all over my legs, and being very aware of all my abdominal and arm muscles, haha, I’m glad. I’m glad I’ve got them and the capacity to feel them. I think we very easily take our bodies for granted. Doesn’t matter what shape or size. You could even be the most morbidly obese person you know, but the fact that you’re alive at all is made possible by your body, and that’s amazing.
On that note, I’m excited to get back to my yoga schedule :)
