Cocooning

[Butterfly-freespirit]

Hello everyone.....well, here I am, I did it....I joined a forum, where I am able to share and learn and grow...on this journey of life. I chose the title "Cocooning" - because that is where I am at in my life.....I am working through alot of inner healing from my past - so that I am able to embrace my life and move forward into the PRESENT. This is the "gift" I am giving myself.

For the first time, in my life (I am 40 years young) -- I am struggling with weight gain....through struggles with emotional eating....something I am working through and I am aware of. Through my healing....I realize and understand, that is is NEVER about the weight - it is truly about the issues that are behind the weight -- WHAT IS WEIGHING ME DOWN??? I am able to see that without healing my past, and without facing, embracing, healing, and releasing this part of my life.....there will never be the inner peace that I desire and deserve to achieve in this lifetime. I do NOT want a quick fix....and know that no amount of "diets", "fads", "magic pills" or any other gimmicks will remove the weight, unless, it comes from ME....my desire to first, work through the issues and then make a commitment....and be consistent for my own higher wellbeing.

It struck me, that tomorrow is MARCH 1st.....and that, within the month of March, my birthday will be upon me....I desire no other gift to myself...than the gift of good health and both INNER AND OUTER STRENGTH.

It is my time......yes, right now, I am "cocooning" yet one day, I will emerge the Butterfly I am meant to be.

Therefore, I am embracing reaching out and learning and growing with those that are of like-minded spirit...and make MY LIFE MATTER....knowing that just by being ME....I am enough...I matter!!!
