RE: The Body Keeps the Score Workbook Chapter #2

in Inner Blocks2 months ago

I loved this book and I'm glad you are workshopping it. I'd have to say some kind of physical movement is a good 'hobby' like yoga or tai chi or even martial arts. It gets you into your body and out of your head.

Thanks. Yeah I’m trying to walk regularly. Not sure the other things are really in the cards due to some physical limits but will consider it. Appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

Physical limits?

I’m old and fat. Maybe after I lose some weight from walking, yoga or tai chi could be in the cards.

Your body is your body. Any body can do tai chi or yoga. I promise. It's not what it looks like or how far you can get in a pose, it's how it feels.

That’s cool. I actually did some researching and found some beginner yoga stuff on YouTube where you can even start sitting down. I may give it a try. I appreciate the recommendation

You're welcome. As long as you are consciously breathing, it's yoga - it's about uniting mind, body and spirit, which sounds corny, but it's actually something that people with PTSD find hard to do as you know! Good luck!
