Oh my goodness @saramiller, this post nearly had me in tears, SO many similarities between my personal yoga journey (even down to the emotional hip pain) and what you've so bravely shared here has SO SO encouraged me.
I think this is definitely going to be one of my first posts of the new year after I've finished my 30 day challenge for December, Thank you SO much for sharing your yoga chronicles.
I can't wait to share mine
<3
I so appreciate you taking the time to comment, @dayleeo! I am honored that you are encouraged by my story and feel blessed that it can be of service to you. It felt like eternity when I was in that hell and I truly hated it, but now that I'm through it...if that suffering can ease the suffering of someone else & make this world a better place, then it was worth it 💛 💛 💛
...as long as I don't have to go back there, anyway!! 😂
Realistically I don't think I can ever be in that same spot again, because at least now I have hope & some tools for if I start to drop into the funks. Prevention is key, and yoga is one of my best methods for prevention.
I am excited to read your story! I find it very helpful to get it in writing and out of the body, plus as we see sharing it can help someone else which changes the whole experience completely...Steemit is such a cool place!!!!!!!!! 💛 💛 💛
You're right! I'm looking forward to even more healing taking place as I articulate with keystrokes and force myself to put words to all those icky feelings and memories.
And you're right, you'll never be back in that place because you'll see it coming LONG before you get there, and you already have learned how to build your ladder out! Onward and upward sister!
I'll be working on that post this week <3
Writing has been it's own kind of yoga practice for me. I hope you find all the healing you need + so much more as you get it all out! I'll be looking out for your post 💛
Thanks love <3 ive got all the inspo i need to start <3
