Learning to live a life you have not chosen

[IamFree]

Fallen down hard today. Thought i would try jujitsu was enjoying a few classes but realised today I will not be able to progress as my body is saying no as it cannot take the pace right now. I hate knowing if the years of prolonged trauma had not created the limitations my body has i would be doing this. There was so much more i could have done and would be doing.

Oh do I ever understand this !!! I have been on this journey many years and am retired now... but totally unable to do the things I am still young enough to do... my body has paid and paid and paid, so am so limited . Hopefully you are young enough to work thru some things, and still have the energy and stamina to do the things you want to do.... do the body work others suggest if you can.... it does help..... hopefully you are not ready for the rocking chair just yet....

So the old body said "no" for today... Maybe next week things will be better and you can go back to classes. I really do think that th crap that we go through really does affect the body along with the mind....

Rest today, treat yourself with gentle care and try again next week. It's ok, to take time off.

I agree with both @ladee and @She Cat . You can still do it. I have been under the worst stresses of my life for the past five months and began to get physically sick from stress overload. I had a good day and was not sick because I am trying new foods in my diet, and was able to garden some today which I love.

So take a break and take good care of you and try again later odds are you will be able to do the things you love. We all have bad days here along with the good days too. Just keep that in mind and give yourself a break on the bad days. Wishing lots of future things you can do.

I agree maybe its something i could do again..not as soon as next week though . I think my body needs a more simple approach right now. I think the greatest lesson i have learned from this is that I just need to accept were I am right now.
