Spirit and My Health

So last year was all about figuring out who I was and how I interacted with those I cared for and those who acted as of they cared for me. I wrestled with people's expectations of who I was and how I let that define how I moved through life.  I let people be my barriers until I was the barrier myself. I had to talk to me and be honest with myself. I was miserable. I was sick and felt trapped in my own mind and body. Fibro seemed the biggest obstacle to me, but it was the people trying to fix me thru their perspective of how I was living my life. Just let me say that hurt realizing that me as I was wasn't enough I had to be be healthy to get the respect and love I felt I deserved from my loved ones. Instead of the support to be my best where I was I felt I was expected to be the best they expected of me and it was exhausting!!! When I finally started living for me guess what less flares and less insomnia. When I started doing what felt right for me; eating how my body told me; not trying to please someone else by following the fad they just heard of that would make me normal so I could pretend to be like everyone one else. Guess what?? I never wanted to be like anyone else so why would I do it when it came to my actual health and well being? Cuz society tells us that's how it's supposed to work. Sorry, but I reject that!! My physical health is a individual path that intersects with my mental so it has to be a personal journey.  So this year is about owning my journey.
