Hello all! Yes I have not in fact perished but (like a lot of us lately it seems) I have been stuck in dorsal and a back and forth battle with the shame cycle it brought along. I feel like a lot of the time we may only be comfortable sharing the good or the wins/successes and get caught in feeling the shame or disappointment/regret when experiences don't "cut it." Well I'm sharing where I'm at now regardless of how it looks 🙂. I've been working hard to approach my body and nervous system and general "self" with the kindness and empathy I would afford any other person and while I am learning and need practice for sure, I feel like it has brought me pockets of a deeper understanding of myself that have been so joyous. So this is your daily reminder that when people say be kind, yes that means even to yourself 😉!
And for laughs, my favorite hoodie from Hayden Krystal to commemorate our need for dorsal aka carcass time (dog hair and all) 💛
