I spent a big portion of my life disconnected from myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Today, a diet of pizza and hot dogs has become more of an occasional guilty pleasure. Spirituality has become one the biggest components to my life. And as far as physically, I listen to what my body asks of me. It loves to stretch and walk. Many years ago, I started yoga and still practice it today. Don't think that these changes came easily. They didn't. I was stubborn, but now I understand that I was really just afraid of change and loss of control. It took a lot of painful life lessons to awaken the sleeping parts of myself. I’ve had years of learning to surrender my will, my rigid ideas and my unhealthy behaviors.
