falling in love with a messy life - a note from the wilderness

falling in love with a messy life - a note from the wilderness
In this video I wanted to talk about ‘messiness’ and ‘imperfection’ in regards to our lives, and how we may sometimes feel things have fallen apart or that we are just not where we thought we would be. Perhaps the past is dragging us down, or the future is frightening. Through recovering from an era of addiction and disordered eating, I had to begin a journey of healing my relationship with anxiety - and consequently, with myself. I’m still figuring things out and am not an expert whatsoever, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts and what has helped me move forward, in hopes we can open a dialogue and support eachother. To me, embracing the simplicity of the days and deciding that I have enough to grow and thrive, has helped me (wise examples from nature have certainly inspired me along the way).
