My body holds the answers

I've been a 'smart girl'. Did well in school, even went to university as the first one in my family. I learned to analyze, intellectualize, and be objective. It's what I've been praised for. Being a mediator, always there to help, a "good girl'. But I was never really impressed by myself or proud of myself.

I've had the realisation now for about a year, maybe a little longer, that it's because I haven't lived through my body. I haven't experienced my life. I am mostly in my head. And when I did feel my body, it was because I was drinking, smoking, partying, dancing or having sex.

I did not know that my body is a temple. I did not know my body is my power. I did not KNOW with my MIND. But my body has felt neglected. My body remembers me not giving the care and attention she deserves. I am starting to feel it now. And it is painful. Yet I finally feel like I am on the right track. I am starting to feel the answers arise.
