Your healing is not hopeless.
The human body is incredibly adaptable. Like, incredibly. Your brain is capable of changing throughout your entire life, your nervous system is constantly learning from your experiences, and your tissues are continually responding to movement, stress, rest, and everything else you ask your body to navigate.
There’s also this really fascinating concept called biotensegrity, which is basically a very science-y way of saying that your body doesn’t function as a bunch of separate pieces. Everything is connected through this constantly changing system of tension and support. So when something changes in one place, it can influence what’s happening somewhere else.
This is one of the reasons I have so much hope for people who have felt stuck in their bodies for a long time. We tend to assume that because something has been this way for years, this must just be how our body is now. But your body has spent those same years adapting to whatever it has been experiencing. And adaptability works both ways.
And life gives us plenty to adapt to. Motherhood. Marriage. Stress. Work. Building a business, growing a family, walking through hard things and really beautiful things. Every season brings its own shifts, but at every point, there is an opportunity for healing. Sometimes big, sometimes so small you almost miss it.
You move a little easier, so you start moving more. You’re carrying less tension, so you sleep better. You sleep better, so you handle stress differently. One little shift gives your body an opportunity for another one, and then another.
This is also why I don’t expect one adjustment to do the trick. I’m much more interested in what happens when we consistently give your brain and body new experiences and the opportunity to adapt to them.
Your body is not a finished product. It is responding, learning, changing and adapting every single day. And that means wherever you are today, there is still room for healing.
