Recently I went to the doctor and got some mixed news about my body. This is a very "me" thing as always. My left and only left arm has complete osteoporosis in it. I have "10" in the forms of testing. But only in that arm. Now that arm has been giving me issues for awhile. I still have full permission to do yoga and so on. But I need to be careful. Its just one more thing to add to the list at this point.
One thing that keeps coming up as well is "I couldn't do it, your so strong" the reality is I am just an average girl giving a very unordinary life. I was put into this world with a terminal illness, that effects every part of my body. This is the only life I know. Its only weird when people point it out and tell me how different I am but they are comparing it to what they have defined as normal. Sometimes normalcy is different. Why I do all of this. Yoga, treatments, meds, homeopathic, and strict diet is because this is what I have to do to survive and you know what?? This life isn that bad at all. Yes I have my moments of tears, and weakness but I am so incredibly blessed.
There is so much that happens in my life that I do not have control of, my diet is really out of my control, and my health. But there are things I do have control of. I can control how I react, and what I do to better myself. There are times when I am doing yoga that I have to stop, catch my breath and keep pushing thru. There are times I am sitting on the floor cooking. But these are choices I make to better my life. So often you here "don't tell me its diet" well I got news for you sometimes it is. It's not ideal that I had to cut out meat, but my heart approves. It doesn't have to work as hard. This a very me thing because I dont have circulating blood volume.
Yoga keeps my blood from pulling, it comes my body physically strong, it keep air in my lungs, and it keeps my soul happy. So often we forget that our soul is a part of our physical journey. Our soul needs cared for. Yes there are a lot of things I have giving up and yes it does suck but what else do you love?? What moves your soul deep inside of you. Chase that. Don't stop your life because you feel you have been dealt a bad hand. Exchange what you need to and come back strong to win that round.
One of my favorite places to sit when my soul feels meh, is my sunroom. My Grandpa built it. The first thing I told Frigga about the sunroom was how my Grandpa would decorate it. How everything was white. I even went in his garage recently and took be back to being 5 and watching him build things. Helping him grill. He's been gone for a long time but those small moments center me and remind me that I can still do this. Why?? He had one lung and still worked endlessly in his garage because that's what he loved.
Fine what you love, do what you love.
