My Body Isn't the Enemy 💛
I've realised something lately…
I've been getting a little annoyed with my body.
Why aren't you stronger yet?
Why does my back still ache?
Why can't I do what I used to do?
Why am I so tired?
But then I caught myself.
My body isn't the enemy.
It's actually been doing its best to look after me.
I fractured my back.
I spent six weeks lying around.
I've lost fitness and strength.
Of course my body isn't going to bounce back overnight.
So I'm trying something different.
Instead of getting frustrated with my body…
I'm listening to it.
If it needs rest, I rest.
If it needs movement, I move.
If it says, “That's enough for today,” I'm learning to listen.
And I'm discovering that there's a big difference between pushing your body and working with your body.
Maybe healing begins when we stop fighting ourselves…
and start listening. 🌿
What if your body isn't working against you either? 💛
I'm learning that my body doesn't need me to fight it.
It needs me to listen. 🌿
