December 17 Lesson learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward? (Prompt by @tea_austen)
I have never been the sort to take care of my body. I have never been careful of what I put into it (like that time I ate a Lego piece) nor how I treated it (if I did, I wouldn't hurt it so much!).
This year, since my diagnosis of Celiac's disease (I know, I'm tired of hearing about it too) I have been much more cognizant of my body. I have learned that I have to appreciate this "meat suit" that houses the rocking personality that is me. I have learned that I have to listen to it, care for it, treat it right. I have to eat better foods, spend more time with it, exercise it, care for it, and love it.
Like with this post, my life lesson is that I need to deal with my body as though it's a part of me and not just something I resent, loathe, judge, hide, and fatten up.
Who knew I would have to be in my 30s to appreciate something that's been with me since the beginning?
I'm glad you're tired of hearing about it, too. Honestly, woman.
ReplyDeleteI mean...LOVE YOU. Glad you're feeling better. I'ma go eat some gluten cakes now.
