last night i was sitting on the couch feeling guilty about something i hadn't done for my body. and then all of a sudden my brain went "hey why are we feeling *guilt* about this?" it was such an interesting realization since guilt is the go-to emotion we associate with not caring for our bodies, but for the first time i sat there thinking "i didn't hurt anyone. i didn't do something wrong. i didn't make a mistake. i just didn't do something i could have done. that doesn't need to elicit guilt." i'd like to work on rewriting the script in my brain that says guilt is a reasonable response when it comes to how i think of my body!
graveyard of good intentions is so poetic. I hear you. I've been trying to move my body more this year for the simple fact that it feels good. It feels totally mind over matter. Cliche, but true. So far, it's working and I feel good :)
