ORM Wholeness: Every Moment Is Perfect. Yes, All Of Them.

At this moment in time, my clothes are a little snug and I weigh more than I’d like to. It’s not out of hand – but it’s what I would anticipate for the end of the holiday season, not just as we’re getting into the swing. As part of my ongoing experience with practicing Our Raw Material, my body is ‘forcing’ me to give it some thought early this season (during Wholeness Week, no less). Normally, this wouldn’t be my mid-December train of thought, but I’m doing things differently now. Recognizing my body image as something separate from my self-image has become easier, even though they are tangled and entwined. I can more clearly identify the ways my specific size, the state of my muscle tone and my collagen-challenged skin have informed my confidence from the very roots of my self image. I haven’t directly related these things for a long time, perhaps even believing myself to be ‘above’ it, (as if that state exists!), but since it’s appearing front and center in my life right now, I’m up for a fresh take on my mind/body connection.
