Rollerskating for mental health. I didn’t want to go skating, but then I did and found some peace
from SkatefreshAsha on 12 Jun 2023
I didnt want to skate on Saturday. I wasnt in the mood. I was stressed and grumpy and frustrated by many obstacles and I wanted to deal with those things and not “pretend they’re not happening”! I did not want to drive and go skating. But when I did, I felt the Therapy that is skating and it kicked in even when I didnt want to do it! Despite myself, the bodily sensations of positivity that skating gives me began to flow. I forgot all about my anxious to do list and just breathed and moved and listened to great tunes in the hot sunshine. I do so love the UK in a mini-heat wave.I felt better. I got out of my head and into my body where wisdom lies to help me.Do you notice skating helping your mental health? How do you connect to that when you don’t feel like it?Who is Asha?
