After a snowboarding accident left me barely able to walk, I finally learned that our bodies aren't trying to make us feel bad... They are ALWAYS trying to help us!!

✌🏼 May 2020 - This was the day I decided I will NEVER complain about exercising ever again.
Until I literally lost the ability to walk... and to use my dominant arm.. 💪
I took my body for granted.
January 18th, 2020 changed my life. 🏂 It’s the day I broke BOTH of my ankles. AND completely separated my shoulder.
All in ONE snowboarding accident. going way too fast down a black diamond. 🔳Spirit taught me to ‘slow down’ in more ways than one that day.
Of the countless lessons I learned during my recovery, one is that I am LUCKY to have a healthy and able body.
Prior to Jan 18, I cursed the vessel that carries me through this life. 🙊🙉🐵 I loved the gym, but never TRULY understood how lucky I am to have a body that is capable of exercise. I pointed out my flaws and felt like my body was against me.
“Now, I’m not perfect, but you betta believe I’m much more kind to my body. I listen to her, I nurture her, and I get excited about being able to simply move her.”
During ascensions, our bodies purge what no longer serves us. ✨
We hold emotional energy, and can carry the weight of a lot of shit that isn’t in alignment with our highest truth.
With all the wild energy going on in Earth since January, there has been a lot of opportunity to let go of those energies.
It’s given me a chance to listen and get in tune with what my body teaches me.
She teaches me that when my chest feels heavy, it’s because my heart hurts, so I can heal it. ❤️ I envision love pouring into my heart, journal, sing and create.
She teaches me that when I don’t feel grounded, my calf muscles tense up and I put less weight on my heels.. literally being less grounded. So I stretch my legs.
I’ve learned that when the base of my neck hurts it’s because I’m not allowing the energy and communication to flow from my heart to my head. 👁I then lean into honouring my intuition and what ‘feels right’, and the pain disappears.. There’s so many other things this beautiful body has taught me. I cherish it. even though sometimes I still complain about the acne on my cute lil face 🙃 LOL.
Have you noticed any cool ways that your body teaches you what your soul needs??👇❤️
