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 ๐. 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 ๐!
And for laughs, my favorite hoodie from Hayden Krystal to commemorate our need for dorsal aka carcass time (dog hair and all) ๐
