“Shed the Armor of Excess Weight” – March 8th (Thriving As An Empath)

As I opened the page to today’s daily message, my heart truly felt this, deeply.

For years, this was me.

“I don’t have to use excess weight as armor. Instead, I will practice meditation and visualizations to ground and protect myself.”

While speaking with an energy coach last year, she immediately picked up on my energy. Then she asked “What happened when you were 10?!” At first I did not know what she meant and then the words fell out of my mouth… my sister went missing. She was only 2. Thankfully she was found and completely ok. However as her big sister, 8 years older, that phone call was absolutely terrifying and apparently (and understandably) was stuck within my energy for many years.

Becoming a Mom myself, I have learned just how real these emotions and life is. Especially when we push things down hoping they will go away, not truly understanding the repercussions of this action.

When we know better, we do better.

As someone who is an emotional eater, I know I need to be conscious of my surroundings physically and emotionally. My body has honestly been through so much, multiple surgeries even before my kids arrived, tests, procedures etc. Really can do a number on you mentally and physically.

I am a healthy example for both my kids, not just my daughter. At one time I wasn’t, but when we know better, we do better! ✌
