Yesterday I went line dancing. On my own, in the evening, which for me is two separate hurdles. Once I am home for the night, I am home. And I am not good at walking into a room by myself, even a room with people I know. Last time I went I took my daughter with me.
So that was the want and the small box, both in one go.
Today is about listening to your body and honouring it. I will admit I have fallen short there over the years, but this is the year I am properly coming around to loving this vessel.
It has been talking the whole time. In tension, in exhaustion, in that very specific feeling in your stomach when you say yes and mean absolutely not.
THE QUESTION
Where in your body do you feel your no? Where do you feel your yes?
THE QUEST
Move today in a way that has nothing to do with fitness. Dance in the kitchen. Float in a bath. Stretch on the floor like a cat. Let your body lead for twenty minutes and see what it knows.
And if your body is making noise today, stop and ask it what it needs from you rather than talking it out of it.
If you do not yet know where your body holds your yes or your no, pay attention today. It will show you.
Mine is a yin yoga class and a zumba class. This should be entertaining.
