Response to a Question about Recovery (Body Empowerment 22)

[PinkCompass]

Hi Caroline :) so... when you sit with your emotions, how do you keep from dwelling on the negatives that got you sitting in the first place? I don't know whether to try and distract myself or to let the panic pass through which is suffocatingly difficult.*

Hey there! I have SO much to say to respond to your question...so is it alright if I answer in a video?!

[PinkCompass]

This inspired me to dedicate my whole self to recovery once again tomorrow. I'll be honest I'm an all or nothing kind of person. Therefore when I have a bad day literally acting on ed impulses I feel so defeated. I wrote a letter to my belief of a higher power a week ago and buried it outside, praying it would take this ed from me. I've had countless bad days since then. I won't stop fighting though. I am in RECOVERY. Ur inspirational.

I also have to say I loved the ended of this video. That recovery is the absence of fear, and that when you are within the presence of unconditional love, there is no room for anything. That is such an awesome reminder :-) I found that for myself latlely, that when im in that place of total love, nothing else existed within it. I also need to remind myself that, being in recovery, there might be those 'bad body image thoughts' but there are choices of what you can do with that. :-)

[Cavernchick]

Exactly - the choice is HOW your react, WHY you react, and WHAT you do with that reaction. Much love!!!
