Thank you, I find these reminders to appreciate my body rather than shame or judge it really helpful and more easily digestible when seen through the lens and permission of someone else.

I've struggled with a disordered relationship with myself - manifesting through a disordered relationship with food/eating, exercise and body image. I find that when I take the time to listen to my body and its sensations, I'm appreciating it. This can show up by feeding it fermented foods, going for a walk, breathing deeply (& doing breathwork), and just pausing and inhabiting my body. Feeling the sun on my skin, my feet on the earth, the rumblings in my stomach, the tension in my forehead and allowing them to be present without changing them.

It’s a constant work in progress, especially since my body doesn’t look like my mind would prefer.

It takes great strength to embark on a journey of learning to trust one's body. I can't believe I listened to the entire video, its a refreshing feel. Thank you for sharing this intimate and uplifting letter. Wishing you peace and continued strength on your path of healing and self-discovery. Looking forward to more of such posts.
