RAWsome Mind: Beginning Again

I look back at this photo with desperation. My body craves movement & flexibility. It so desires to shed the 50 lbs carrying my daughter for 10 months put onto my frame. To see the strength of my core. To feel confident looking through my clothes without wondering what will fit. It's funny because I was so self conscious when this picture was taken.... I look back at it now and laugh at that. What was I thinking? How did I let fear rule me with such ferocity? For now: gone are the days of 6 hour yoga sessions and eating for just me. Today I struggle to find 10 minutes to dedicate to my practice and eat foods that are good for myself, my milk supply, and my mentality. Its as if I am beginning all over again.

My body aches, my mind often feels cluttered, and postures that once felt effortless now require intense focus. I have never been more aware or present of what my physical form needs and how my mentality needs shifting. I find that each day I discover new mountains to climb, and new opportunities to create peace within myself. And although I would like to skip to the end ... simply enjoying a lighter more agile figure I know that I would miss the beauty of the story developing. So cheers to the journey! Little by little opening up body mind and spirit 💙
