Conflicted

My dad was a pastor. Only when I got to secondary school did I realise that's unusual. And about that age I started to be told to act this way, not that way etc.

I didn't do much of the normal teenage stuff because it wasn't "right". By 18 dad had introduced me to the man who became my husband I really didn't have much say in it.

Now 30 years later I've burst from the bubble I've lived in and. I'm so confused. I feel like I need to be a teenager again but I'm 45 so that can't happen.

And then there's all this conflict with past stuff. I've started yoga classes which I'm loving but my ex-husband repeats the doctrine of the church that it isn't compatible with being a Christian.

Just one of the conflicts I'm trying to consider currently.

The stretching is 100% compatible; the first command given to humanity is to "take care of the Garden", i.e., take care of Creation.

Our bodies are part of that.
Staying fit is part of that.

If you go into the other side of it...idk. But stretching makes all kinds of sense, as does getting rid of stress.
