So I haven't posted anything in a long while and I've decided it's time to try to keep up on this thing.
Things are ok. Worried about some things but overall everything is good.
I started Massage Therapy school almost two months ago. It's been difficult yet very new and positive experince to have to be in my body, learning to be in my body, being with another human being in such an intimate and compassionate way. Lots of growing pains for sure. I'm not the best, but that's not really the point for me. I'm still not sure if it's exactly the right fit for me but I feel like I'm on the correct path or near where I need to be.
I've really enjoyed starting to learn about the human body. I'm starting to have a greater appreciation for our bodies, what they do, and how perfect they are. It's mind-blowing to me that nature over billions of years can evolve life into a living organisim so complex and beautiful with all of its perfectly working systems. It's almost unbelievable to me.
It's also made me much more away of what we do to our bodies and I find that I've started to have much more compassionate and empathetic thoughts about people I see on the train or on the street in regards to their bodies. How painful it must be for an older person who's hunchedback to have posture like that or how difficult and tragic it is to see someone so obese that they have a hard time doing simple daily activites.
I feel like I've become much more aware of my bad habits, how I treat my physical self, and how I wish to live and wish to have optimal health well into old age. So it's been really great in a lot of ways!
