Well, here we have it, folks. This blog post is the last in the series and I want to end by saying, “What a blast!”

Now, we all know of the physical, emotional, social, and often, spiritual benefits that movement has on the body, but writing this blog has opened my eyes to a new outcome that I hadn’t even considered before.

I just got off the phone with one of my therapists – yes, one of. Because my level of trauma deserves double the professional care – and we spoke at length about my long-term adoration for movement, and how my personality dictates that passion.

Last month I delved into the history of the struggle with my body, and how important exercise was to me. Sure, exercising inevitably brings with it great physical results, but it’s the mental benefits that I generally look to when it comes to getting this little body of mine moving.
