The past few weeks, I’ve been feeling down on myself, incredibly angry with my body. I was so mad, I just started ignoring anything my body had to say. On a vacation, I spoon fed my body plenty of unhealthy and mindless food.

This mindless stuffing led to more mindless stuffing and down we go. This is a cycle that my body and I have lived over and over dozens of times. So, it’s time for a reboot.

I decided to kick off this body reboot with a whole bunch of SoulCycle classes. I am choosing SoulCycle because it is a place where I deeply connect with my body. And today was perfect. My instructor was on our team! She was helping facilitate a conversation between my body and I by talking a lot about posture and body positioning.

She said something that struck me: “Depending on how you position your body, it will respond differently.” Brilliant! If I hunch myself over, over time, my body will form itself one way and if I stretch myself out, it will form itself differently.

My body and I are so in love with SoulCycle and, unfortunately, we don’t have one near our home. Good news my body and I are in San Francisco this week, so we’ve signed up for 5 classes in the 4 days we’re here. More to come.
