It is such a great way to connect in with the world around us. This particular Sunday I felt challenged, and not because of the topic that was talked about, I was instead challenged by an activity we were invited to do. Now I need to state here that there wasn\u2019t a pressure to do this activity, it was very clear that everyone had a choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me set the scene to you can understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a winter\u2019s day, the type of winter\u2019s day where you can feel Spring is on the horizon, the wind is a fraction less chilly and the flowers are beginning the bloom more vividly. It\u2019s dry, but it has been raining, leaving the occasional muddy puddle on the dirt path under the trees. We\u2019re were sat on one of the benches, as per usual, all the other families and people filling the other benches around us, everyone wrapped up, some not as wrapped up as others as the sunny morning had given them a false sense of how warm it actually was. One of the families stands up and begins to lead us in an activity, THE activity. Suddenly, and quite to everyone\u2019s surprise, one of the parents in this family group slips a shoe and sock off, their children follow suit, then off goes the other shoe and sock. We\u2019re all shocked and confused, this is highly unusual behaviour! It is here we are invited to go for a barefoot walk around the Forest Church area, they\u2019d provided towels and cleaning products for afterwards, so other than not wanting to there really wasn\u2019t any excuse. Or was there? Instinctively my brain goes into overdrive, the thought of taking my shoes and socks off in front of people horrifies me and I\u2019m filled with dread. My feet! My bare, naked feet. I can\u2019t hide all the things I hate about them and everyone will see their flaws. I\u2019m not doing it, there\u2019s no way I\u2019m doing it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my children wanted to do the activity, the other didn\u2019t. Fair enough, it\u2019s cold and I don\u2019t blame them. But what about me? I begin to question why I don\u2019t want to do it, and once I realise it\u2019s because of the feelings I have towards how my feet look I start to challenge myself, really challenge myself. I actually wanted to take part in the grounding activity, the activity itself appealed to me, it was my own self consciousness that was stopping me. I asked myself if I\u2019d regret not doing the activity and the answer was yes. That was it then, I had to push myself through this uncomfortableness to get to the other side. And you know what?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was marvellous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one noticed my feet, and if they did I didn\u2019t care, I was too busy enjoying the feeling of the cold stone, the warm log, the cool, calming muddy puddle. It was all a sensory joy, it wasn\u2019t about image, it was about connecting and that\u2019s exactly what I did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks later and I woke up stressed, no idea why, I just did. Unable to shake it I went outside in my garden, in the rain, with a brew and stood there barefoot for awhile, connecting in with the early again. Calmness instantly came over me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as this incident there\u2019s been freaking out and over analysing video footage of myself with my belly sticking out further than I thought it did and fighting against deleting it, there\u2019s all the photos where I think I look too old, or ugly and so on, and it\u2019s got me to realise something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a long way from being healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anything challenging myself is making things even more painful, BUT I know it\u2019s for the best, because after every challenge I learn something about myself and I use that to help further. I learnt that even though I know every body size is beautiful, when it comes to my own body the message that being fat isn\u2019t beautiful really has a place in my mind and is a big voice when I look at myself in the mirror and in pictures. It\u2019s a voice I pay far too much attention too, which is crazy because it rarely speaks the truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through all this process I\u2019m also learning to recognise the different voices within me and question where they\u2019re coming from, then challenging those that need challenging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m learning to enjoying exercise not to make me slim, but because I love how strong my body feels when I\u2019m doing it, I love the joy it gets from it, and I love the confidence it gives me. Letting go of the concept of exercising to lose weight and switching it to enjoy movement and feeling strong has been a total game changer, and it\u2019s actually made the whole thing more enjoyable. It\u2019s made me learn to listen to my body and try new things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently we bought a book about body image and creativity, it sets you different creative activities to help you process your body image and self esteem, it\u2019s taking a while to get through because, well, life, yet the few activities we\u2019ve done so far have been eye opening. Creativity really does allow you to access parts of your brain that open an opportunity to communicate things you hadn\u2019t previously been able to articulate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This why I\u2019ve slowed down on the public posts about it all recently, I\u2019m privately processing, what I\u2019m creating isn\u2019t for others it\u2019s for me whilst I figure things out, and you know what, isn\u2019t that what we should all be doing? Creating not for others but for ourselves?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
