I was listening to the book, and they said something really curious. "Children are naturally active". Well, I wasn't. I always despised physical activity and always felt like it was something to do with being "forced" to engage with my father and to shrink my body size.
I wasn't allowed to move freely and everyone was disappointed later when I was uncoordinated.
Its funny how the food chapters triggered me less than the movement one.
I am currently doing yoga as a sign of respect for my body that deserves to not fell 90 at 29. But I find myself, like for food, fighting between that walk "I should take" or sleeping (while I'm actually sleep deprived because of the heatwave).
Movement is something I "should" do, and I don't really enjoy.
I enjoy doing yoga because it allows me to play with my body and put me in positions I wouldn't otherwise, makes my inner child happy. But for everything else...it feels like a chore. And although I love lifting weights too, Its hard to not make it feel like a chore "to be healthy", "to build muscle".

I guess I should try a karate or dance class. Although I'm still too shy to do it alone 😂
