We all know by now that our bodies need rest. If we are to succeed in sports, our muscles need rest. Yet, so many people struggle to take it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rest can be really challenging in a fitness culture that promotes excessive exercise and ridiculous slogans like “No rest days”. In order to achieve that place where we are in a healthy relationship with exercise we need rest and we need to listen when our bodies tell us to rest. Doing more is not a solution to really anything. In order to get to any fitness related goal you have to prevent injury, by resting enough and eating enough. Being honest with yourself about why you are struggling to take those rest days may be a good place to start challenging yourself. You do know your body needs rest, dig deep to find out what the resistance is and challenge it. When you can reevaluate what your goals are and realign yourself to those goals you may just find that rest is a part of the puzzle you can’t leave out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thank you to my waterproof friends and loved ones. As the holidays are arriving I’m feeling contemplative of the year that is passing, as I often am around this time of year. And i’m so so full of gratitude for where I am in life now, and for the truest people in my life🥰 The ones who stayed and cared even when everything was terrible and it all fell apart. Even in the worst weather, you were each by my side and I’ve never been more thankful for that than this year - thank you to everybody who has stuck with me in this year of my life full of change, a year that started with devastation and despair and is ending in miraculously beautiful way, full of joy, healing, growth, love, and hope. Thank you. I love you all so much, and I’m so so incredibly thankful to and for each of you🥲🥰❤️💚💙 #thankyou #allweatherfriends #bestfriends #friendship #2020 #goodthingsin2020 Creds to @bigfightinwords for the art - if you don’t follow them, give them a follow! Such a beautifully life-giving page🤗

This week’s The Inquiry explores body liberation and yoga with @movementbymeg founder of @thrivetogethermovement.

We’ve all seen posts of headstands and “fitspo” yoga influencers. If that works for you — great! And if it doesn’t we are here to tell you it doesn’t have to. Body liberation, yoga and mindfulness are all available to you. No matter what your body looks like. No matter what abilities you have. Your mat is always welcoming you and so are we.

Today is my Ironmanniversary! You may know that in addition to being an eating disorder specialist, my speciality is working with athletes. I have such a passion for working with athletes and part of that is because of my personal story.
--
Since I was a child I have loved riding my bike. Cycling is still my favorite activity. I was also a runner for a long time. In my early 20's I constantly found myself injured. I was the friend who brought protein shakes to boozy brunches, I had miles to log later in the day- trying to overcome my injuries by splitting my long runs up between morning and night. The person who checked into races with a boot in her bag to hobble home with. This was disordered, no matter how much praise I received, it was disordered.
--
I was eventually forced to take some time off and reevaluate my goals. I was clear on one thing, I wanted to complete an Ironman distance race. It became clear if I wanted to do that I had to let go of some of my other rules. I needed more fuel and my body required more flexibility in the training plan. I needed to let go of any aesthetic goals to achieve an athletic one. It is only through food freedom and flexibility that I was able to cross that finish line with a smile on my face.
--
This is a simple and reductive version of this story, but it highlights what I believe is possible when we experience real food freedom. I believe you can be in eating disorder recovery and have athletic goals. I am so honored I get to work with athletes every day and be part of the team that helps them accomplish their goals and complete their seasons AND do so while being in recovery from an eating disorder AND having food freedom.
--
We can do big things, we can dream big dreams, but we first have to recover.

You can surpass your greatest obstacles as long as you are connected to your inner bliss and confidence. If you set out to achieve a goal, if you can envision it, then it’s doable and attainable. Stay in your happy and continue with strength and determination regardless if you feel you can’t...because you can! 💪🏽

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION:
When you fight through a bump in the road and achieve your goal, how do you feel? How can you remind yourself of this feeling when you run into another block?

If our movement practice is tied to attempts at body manipulation it is more likely that our relationship with movement is disordered or otherwise harmful to our mental health and our physical health. There are SO MANY more reasons to move our bodies aside from trying to change them.
__

When we move our bodies, we can improve our sense of embodiment, our sense of competency, our self-confidence, and our overall health and stamina REGARDLESS of size.

How does your focus SHIFT with exercise & movement- when weight loss is put on the back burner?
-
What happens when the focus shifts?
(Or...begins to shift?)
-
What happens when you slowly accumulate all the reasons for movement and exercise and bring light to THOSE things? And value those things?
-
What happens when we measure our lung capacity rather than our thighs?
What happens when we weigh the kindness done for others rather than our daily pull on earth? #science -
What starts to shift when our balance improves-?
-
Or we have more energy to stay present with our families?
-
What happens then?
