I only have time for a very brief post here - neighbors coming to dinner in 20 mins and had to catch up on work today. Gray day, but grateful day also. I love that we are reflecting on self-love, that my husband is helping me to become more conscious about my habits that don't serve me or us best, that I am receiving support and validation from the universe as I pursue my writing vocation.
Today's post on reflections on self love - In what area do you know you need to trust your body more? How do you plan to do so today?
I wish I had time to do this full justice, as I had a small epiphany about precisely this just yesterday. Briefly, though: I need to trust my body when she says she's hungry, and stop telling her she has to go longer without food or get by with less food. The latter are such strong habits and they are so destructive to my body, and to my relationship with it. Ideally, we should be so much in our bodies that we don't have relationship with them - we simply are them. This is something I've been getting better at, but every day I need to work on breaking those habits both of thought and of behavior.
Love to hear others' thoughts too.

Love that idea of not being simply "in" our bodies but really connecting to them so on every level we can relate to them.
