so i have been out of place in my body and life for a few months. i know this by how i feel. i decided to change things and refuse to go back to where i have been before. so i am changing my life in little ways, with the ultimate goal of living fully present through every moment in my body and life.
i have struggled with body image issues before. this time i was beginning to hate myself. i was also hating my job. this has led me to several things:
-going back to skating derby
-adding more yoga to my life
-reading more on Buddhist values and meditation
all three have been important to me. all three has caused this blog. i have gained in my life the peace that comes from being in the present moment, but i have always lost it...so now, i focus on making this the goal of my life so that i may enjoy all moments of sorrow and joy, instead of a temporary thing i have done.
i also updated my goals, which are:
