What are Eating Disorders?

Imagine loving something so much but being terrified of it at the same time. That is my relationship with food. It is complicated, at times toxic, love-hate relationship that I constantly have to work on. Many people don’t fully understand what eating disorders are, even those suffering with them. The Mayo Clinic defines eating disordersRead More

In the words of @khadija.mbowe: It’s okay to change your mind because you can.⠀
.⠀
It’s okay to distance yourself from what no longer serves you. It’s okay to acknowledge that a past belief may not have been the right one. ⠀
.⠀
There is no weakness in change.⠀

Don’t judge me, but for the longest time I thought flexibility and mobility were the same thing.⠀
.⠀
People use the words so interchangeably on social media, so I figured that surely they meant the same thing. It’s only when I injured myself for the umpteenth time that I found out that mobility, although aided by flexibility, is not the same thing. ⠀
.⠀
Flexibility is the muscle’s ability to lengthen without engagement. Flexibility is more passive eg static stretching. ⠀
.⠀
Mobility on the other hand is more active. Polar describes mobility as ‘the ability to actively achieve extended ranges of motion’. Basically, mobility is a combination of strength and flexibility.⠀
.⠀
Mobility is a great way to improve your flexibility. But more importantly, having good mobility makes you less prone to injury.⠀
.⠀
So whether you are a yogi or enjoy other forms of movement, please make sure to add mobility in your workouts. ⠀

Fun fact: I constantly have dreams of doing a full splits. ⠀
.⠀
It’s silly I know but hear me out. When I was young, maybe 8 or 9, I had the ability to do the full splits. It was a time when I lived in my body and not in my head. ⠀
.⠀
I think my desire for the splits steams from the need to become that child again. The child that lived without fear and found joy in everything. ⠀
.⠀
So now I constantly work towards achieving my splits my listening to my body, changing my mindset and revising my routine. ⠀
.⠀
Success is attained through a constant evolution of the body and mind. Do you agree? ⠀

How I miss the days when I could do a plank with a smile on my face🥺⠀
.⠀
Everyday I have to remind myself that my body is still healing. I have to remind myself that strength comes with both work and rest. ⠀

Social media can be so overwhelming. You are constantly bombarded with the opinions of others, while being given an glimpse into their lives. It’s tempting to be envious… Don’t be! Life it too short to try and imitate the lives of others. Be yourself unapologetically.⠀

When was the last time you appreciated you? Just celebrated yourself in all your current glory?⠀

Striving for better is great, but celebrating your present is a must.⠀

In a time when it feels like everything is falling apart, I choose to celebrate the small wins.⠀
.⠀
Movement has been difficult, almost painful. But I show up. I show up grateful that my body can move, when only a few weeks ago I could hardly get out of bed. Making it to the mat is a win.⠀
