I really like what you said about writing bringing you inwards and now you have to go outwards. Do you think the same is true for ED recovery? I feel like I've been in my head for so long, first focused on weight and dieting and then it moved on to recovery. I've been checking in with myself over and over and lately I'm feeling like I've just changed one compulsion for another. Don't get me wrong, I think I needed to do that, but I think it's time for me to go out into the “real” world and experience Life for what it is....not as it is in relationship to recovery. Does that make sense? Instead of checking in to see how I'm feeling about my recovery, checking in to see how I'm enjoying what's going on around me; Mindfulness of what's going on outside of my head instead of just mindfulness of inside my head. Anyway, your comment just got me thinking.......
