This is so wise for someone 25. At 33 I’m still learning a lot of this. I related to the parts about accepting that all of the pain means something. That’s something I’m trying to do now. Cycle syncing is also amazing (also only started that in the last few years sadly.. it explained so much), and light walking and reformer has been a better match for my energy levels like you. The sensory environments working on but tougher with kids, although I aim for parks instead of busy places. It’s tough when you’re trying to live up to wellness advice that simply was never going to work. We need a whole new guidebook and these conversations help us put our own together so thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! It’s hard to share such vulnerable experiences with complete strangers but knowing that it’s resonating is pretty cool to see. There is so much pressure from society to fit into typical expectations. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be different. And being different doesn’t make you any less deserving of health and happiness. Everyone is on their own timeline for growing and becoming and trusting that is the first step to realizing your greatness. Thanks for the comment!
