body whisper.

Many years ago as I was healing from a 15 year eating disorder and looking for a way to love my body, I stumbled upon the realization that if I could get so in touch with how my body felt moment to moment, my body would guide me to the best decisions. That trust in my bodily intuition has lead me day in and day out all of these years since.

What I eat is because of how I want to feel. What I choose to drink is guided by how I want to feel. How I move my body is inspired by how I want to feel. Who I surround myself with is guided by how I feel in their presence. The help and support I seek in the world is driven by a desire to feel better, to feel more of myself.

Are there exceptions? Yes. Do I sometimes get confused because my thoughts get in the way of listening to my body? Yes. Does my ego run interference with my bodily intelligence? Yes. Do I get derailed - um, yes. Do I forget all of the above in moments of overwhelm and anxiety? For sure.

But day after day, listening to my body is my true north. It is the path I return to over and over to make even the most seemingly insignificant decisions. It is the guiding force I believe in. And yoga is my way, the way, I can feel for the information. Yoga is how I clear the clutter so I can listen. My mat is the place I can hear my body whisper softly, the answers I need most.

Get clear on how you want to feel and then find your mat and breathe, move and listen 💛

Big love,
Tammy
