Recovery: ⁣ •has no time limit. ⁣ •does not judge ⁣ •has no deadlines ⁣ •is NOT a race ⁣ ⁣ Your recovery is YOURS. No two people recover at the same pace or in the same way. What works for me in my recovery, may not work for you. And that’s OKAY. Recovery is unique, don’t beat yourself up by comparing or wondering why you aren’t recovered yet. This journey is yours and your time will come. This has been the best choice you’ve made love, keep fighting. It’s worth it. ♡

I’m pretty sporadic when it comes to journaling. I have over ten journals. Some finished, some half written through, some have one page, some are empty, and some have ripped out pages. My favourite kind of journaling though, is bullet journaling. It feels like scrapbooking to me, which I absolutely love. I love how you can capture a moment with more than just words. Visuals play a huge part in how we are feeling and bullet journaling captures that. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Looking back at my journals from my teen years to now is such a weird feeling. Reading the words I’ve written back then. The pain. The drama. It was so real back then, but now it’s nothing but words. A vague memory. What does matter the most is the memories. The good moments. The ideas that spark something new. I love to journal because it brings out the best in me. Allows me to write my heart out without a worry of grammar or punctuation. My best ideas come from when I write them down on paper. It all starts somewhere. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Last night, I went out on a whim and started a new bullet journal. I made one earlier this year and did about three months or so. It was my first finished bullet journal and something I loved creating. I’ve been holding onto this new journal for a while. It has those little dots.. something I’ve never used before. I’ve honestly probably had it for 3-5 months before I finally started it. & I’m so glad I did. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ There’s no pressure on this journal. It will just be what it will be. I think a lot of us struggle to journal because we fear our own handwriting or that writing something out makes me more real. But for me, now, journaling helps me heal. It creates a space for me to just be me more than ever before. I usually don’t share my writing from my journals, but I love this random idea and conception I had last night. I hope this inspires you to pick up a pencil and simply w r i t e. Create. Just for you. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Swipe to read what I wrote last night. My favourite line is: “what if at the end, we end up meeting all the versions of ourselves.”♡ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ *continued in comments*

YOU are important love, this is your life and your choices. Remember to put yourself first ♡

Working out, during recovery. I was against it and wanted no part in it. I use to see working out as a terrible thing especially during recovery, but I’ve realized it wasn’t working out that I hated. It’s what diet culture made working out to be.. a way to lose weight and earn food. Instead of saying what it really is, a way to move your body and feel accomplished. Not by how much weight you lost or calories you burned. But for taking time for yourself to get up off the couch and move your body. ⁣ ⁣ It may appear that I’m working out, in recovery. But I’m changing the term. I’m not working out - I’m moving my body. More than I ever have and it’s not to lose weight or track my weight or earn a piece of cake. It’s for me to get out and do something different for myself. And it’s been liberating. To move my body in this way. To learn new things and see what I can do when I put my MIND to it. ⁣ ⁣ SO stop working out and START moving your body. ⁣ ⁣ Moving your body in recovery is possible when you: ⁣ • Ditch the scale. ⁣ • Turn off the calorie counting setting. ⁣ • Set limits/goals for yourself. ⁣ • Move your body, just for you. ⁣

Happy thanksgiving to my Canadian loves. I am feeling so thankful and blessed this thanksgiving. To be able to live in this beautiful country and living my life with those I love. I’ve always loved thanksgiving, the way it brings families together and reminds us to be thankful for the simplest of things. This is my first thanksgiving in recovery and I’m so glad that I can finally enjoy a meal without guilt. Without shame. Without restricting all day or purging. ⁣ ⁣ Holidays use to cause me grief and anxiety from all the food and treats. Now I finally feel free to enjoy. Thanksgiving may have tons of food, but it’s so much more than that. It brings family together and reminds us to be grateful for what we have. Today and everyday I’m giving thanks to all those who have helped me in my life, who stick by me when I’m struggling and never give up on me. I wouldn’t be who I am without the army of love I have behind me ♡
