With acceptance of my gender identity I realized I had always had a "thing relationship" with my body that came out of "this body is not me" but something apart from me that I must live with.
Not hate or loathing but it being foreign to me.
One of the consequences of this was a lack of body awareness. I did not take the time to develop that body awareness as "me in physical space"
I have taken up Yoga and dance to improve the relationship between me and my body from the neglectful relationship I had with it.
I think women have more inner dialog than men do and this "brain chatter" can interfere with you living in the moment. This brain chatter has always been a problem for me and I'm learning how to use my body to stay in the moment and quiet my mind.
I'm not trying to be graceful "to be considered more feminine" but moving in a more graceful fluid manner will hopefully come out of the disciplines I'm practicing that keep me consciously focused in the here now.
I think it will also offer benefits as I age and my body loses some of its strength and flexibility.
I'm rarely a klutz when I'm fully in the moment and aware of what is around me but as soon as my mind floats off somewhere I'm walking into telephone poles.
It's an awareness thing that you do through and with your body that also takes you out of your head. Something I think is very important for all women to practice because it also teaches you how to be safe in public spaces through this awareness.
