I'm so happy you decided to get to know me better! As you can see, I'm a wellness enthusiast who believes in living a holistic life in every way possible. Yep, I'm not a big counter of calories or a permanent resident of a gym. I believe in balance and I love my free time.
I wasn't always this way. I had my own lengthy battle with body and food issues. I've been obsessed with what I look like, if I had abs, my weight, my food intake, all of that. I was so confused about what is healthy and what was not, what I should eat to get the body I want, and how much I should work out. It didn't help that I had subscribed to the mainstream idea of what beauty looks like. Not the best idea. But at the time it gave me direction, a goal to work toward. I thought I was on the right path. I thought that if I could transform into a blend of all the right things, I would be fine, right? Wrong... Oh. So. Wrong.
It took me a while but I finally realized that the problem was the way I talked to myself and what I thought about myself. It was all in my head. From then on I made it my mission to work on myself from the inside out. I got back to the root of everything. I asked myself the hard questions, I spent time doing the things I liked to do, and I naturally ended up in the place I wanted to be. It wasn't because of this crazy fad diet (I don't do diets) and it wasn't because of a specific workout program (I had tried them all). It was because I did the inner work that I was able to love and accept myself for who I truly am that all the other things fell into place. It was the best lesson ever.
Since the days of my "enlightenment", I have gone on to adventure through life, taking each moment as it comes, celebrating all the great things I used to ignore, and having fun. That is something I think we all forget about as we go about our day and navigate our busy schedules. Being free of societal pressures and destructive thoughts has brought me to a place where I am truly confident and at home in my own skin. That's something that I wish for everyone. I would love to see everyone feel that way and that was my motivation for creating this community and this movement.
Thank you for getting to know a little about me and Bodyficiency. I'm excited to have you here and learn more about your story!
