I keep getting asked what I did to lose weight, when my goal was never to lose the weight. It was a lifestyle change. I changed my perspective and focused more on my well-being.

Yoga & practicing gratitude allowed me to physically release the stress my body had been holding all these years, plus shadow work and changing my eating habits for less inflammation. And then I’ve kept it off with working out.

Releasing the stress from my physical also came with working on my emotional & spiritual wellness. I had to dig deep to find the seed of my issues. Some of them carried over lifetimes & I had to learn to forgive myself out loud.

I also learned that I had the tendency to carry emotions that aren’t mine and had to learn discernment, placing boundaries and how to keep my boundaries. Doing so lead me to be softer to myself and less critical.

I’ve always been big on introspection & self-improvement, bt it came from a place of lacking and worthlessness. Now, it comes from love. I’ve forgiven my past and learned to fully embrace & love all of me, I can actually look back and be grateful nd love the life I live.

I’m a kinder person, because I’m now kind to myself. I’m more outwardly loving because I give so much love to myself. I’m breezier because I’ve learned to trust the process and flow with where life carries me.

Are there still set backs? Yes, I’m human. Am I done healing? No, it’s a constant state of being, that requires care because I care for myself. Healing is a commitment to self. Since on this journey, I’ve REALLY understood what commitment is.

Because I can commit to myself, and love myself through forgiveness, compassion and trust, I can commit to something/someone else. I don’t fear of losing who I am because I’ve discovered all of me and appreciate it all.

I am READY. I know who I am. I love who I am. I am ready for whatever is next.
