There are heavy bags in life that you carry without even realizing it. The truth is that we all probably have them, even those who claim that they have worked hard on themselves and achieved perfect peace of mind and spirit. Scars probably remain somewhere in the depths, suppressed, smoothed by time and almost invisible.
And then, when the backpacks are opened from time to time, and we accidentally touch the rough surface of our previous, long-forgotten pains, then we realize that we still carry them. But the good news is that this situation is not hopeless. We can manage to carry everything, all the good and bad legacy, when we are trained; you know that the things are somewhere there, but you almost don't feel their weight. It's the same with possible issues you encounter in the present moment; the more prepared and strong you are in spirit and body, the easier it is to overcome the difficulties of any kind.
Last year, in February, I started with the Reformer pilates lessons as my physiotherapist advised me. His holistic approach when treating a patient is something marvellous, not many physiotherapists do their job in that way. I was very grateful for his advice, as after a few months of doing pilates, I felt a huge difference in my endurance. Maybe you also remember my post when I mentioned the reason I started this activity here.
I am more than sure it also helped me in the moving adventure we had last autumn. Although we were very tired in the end, it would be even more difficult if I didn't have this kind of body & mind preparation. I had to go back to pilates as soon as we settled down, so here I am, with these torture machines again. 😁
As I had a break of a few months (I started again in February of this year), I am still in a stage of not being very well trained for carrying heavy bags. The name of the place where I go to do pilates is sending a message, though - calma - calmness. Things will be sorted out in one way or another.
A year ago, when I started for the first time, I didn't know it would mean more than just a physical activity. Even if you sometimes feel wrinkled, like the leaves of that flower in the first picture, it's not scary if you are aiming to become well-trained one day, both in body and mind.
My dear friend, first of all a greeting and a warm hug for you; I believe that soon I will need a physiotherapist to improve the physical part since the pain caused by the peripheral neuropathy that I have made me lose muscle mass last year due to involuntary sedentary lifestyle
I'm glad you went through that phase of physical rehabilitation because it is as essential as mental health itself, everything goes hand in hand, it is a constant synergy that must be kept active until the end of the days 🙌😀💛... well done my friend and very wise words 🙏❤️... You Absolutely Rockkk!!!! 👍😎🔥📸❤️

I am sure that a physiotherapist could help you and suggest some exercises. Our body is also important to exercise but when we have a health problem or we are injured, we have to take it easy and wait, let it time and start when it is possible. 😉 Thank you, Don Fer, take care! You rock too, more than I!! :)) 🔥
I have always thought that everything we do is a step towards something that will come later, and notice that in this case it was like that, I'm sure it helped you in the arduous process of moving. I think it's great that you are taking it up again, you are a young person and you can handle these torture machines, besides your work deserves you to be at 100%. I want to see you healthy and empowered when we meet again someday. I love you very much mipiano ❤️
So I seemed to you as a young person? Hahaha, I camouflaged well my years then 😂
And look at that hug 🫂. How much we laughed then hahaha
Empowered and healthy - that how we all should be! 😇
I remember this, gosh, time flies is it really just over 12 months ago,sheesh
You have a good memory 😉
Thank you @mipiano I guess so, one of my hidden talents LOL
Siempre hay que ejercitar el cuerpo...el yoga también es buen ejercicio...
Seguro que lo es. Aunque yo el yoga lo veo difícil jaja, bueno, como todo para empezar
Pilates is a great activity, well guided and with a teacher who takes his job seriously, not only strengthens you physically 🙏 but mentally and that few can do, I'm glad you have resumed and yes, you're right, sometimes we open the backpack and oops.... who left this little damage here? Well, it will be time to clean up before the flies come hehe
Hahaa, yes, sometimes we have to clean up, or choose not to carry the weight that is not ours, but yeah, we do carry those too, so let's work out and strengthen our arms, I mean wings! 😁
"Things will be sorted out in one way or another..."
🌹
They alaways do 😉
Good evening @mipiano; There is no doubt that we all carry our backpack, I will not go into this topic, so personal.
But I did last something on another topic. We are a unit, body-mind-spirit, I am glad that the path started a year ago has given that beautiful flower.
Best regards.
Good morning @enraizar (although I will try to sleep a bit longer) 😅
The flower is crumpled, but it's still a unit of those things you also mention :)
Good morning @mipiano, the flower looks beautiful, I too am getting more wrinkled every day and I look great. 😀
Happy weekend!
The torture machines are back! :D
Yayyy!
Such happiness for the torture machines hahaha 😂
😉
You're setting yourself up to win every battle, 😅.
I've never done pillars, I like it when I see videos about this exercise and I find it very complete.
I'm also preparing for the next few months which will be tough for sure. We will win @mipiano
Even if we don't ein every battle, we continue to fight and try to improve. I maybe missed something but whatever you are facing in the next few months I wish you all the best 😇
🫶😘🤗
I'm glad you've returned to classes, I told you at the time that my mother had done excellent and I'm sure it has helped you a lot, don't give it up!🤗
Yes, I returned and then had to stop again for short but then I try to continue as I can 😉
It can bring just good things!
You may not like the machines, but it's better than without them. At least that's what my mother told me. Now she does exercises that the doctor gave her, but at home and she feels better.
Calma y saca la plancha para esa flor. 😂 ¡Morí con el comentario de ewkaw!
No sé si Miss Clarisse puede planchar flores hahah, pero la saqué ayer de su deep sleep para planchar una camisa 👚
Maybe that's the answer I've looking for to do the job with body and soul(mine of course). I've been trying so hard to find solutions and most of the ways have been dead ends or transitory solutions. I know fisic exercise is good in so many ways, I used to run some time ago but an accident took me away from it, I still can though, so I guess, bit time it's not always enough when some struggles call out my name and so duty. Maybe pilates or something like that would help me out of some issues I have now. I wish I could have to the reach of my hand one good therapist to point the right way to go.
I hope you will sort out the issues you are facing. For each of us a different thing can work so we must find it 😉
Thanks. I hope I will as well, it's necessary.
I don't like the comparison with the crumpled flower, you are strong and will overcome the ailments like the other time, and then I want to see other beautiful and strong flowers when you start to feel relief. Take good care of yourself. A big hug.🤗🥰😇❤️
All the flowers are beautiful, even the crumpled ones 😉 but I know what you mean. Thank you @mamani and I wish a great day for you ;))
I feel like I’m already carrying some of those “heavy bags” without even realizing it until something triggers it.
We all do carry somenof those bags, and in fact we realize it just when facing them
Sure you're right about recalling by touching the rough surface because though we may seem to forgive but the scars remains.
They remain but we can learn to carry 😉
Sure
It is a beautiful message indeed!
😇🌞
