I really felt that I had to stay level, I had to control, I had to know what I was eating, I had to know what I was doing, I had to work out.

Being able to really have the courage enough to truly face it, to truly look at it, to truly feel it.

Well, I was passionately curious about what my body was doing, and when I got the lessons on how to meditate, it seemed really solid to me. It seemed real.
Mariel Hemingway

What I wasn't prepared for were the feelings of anxiety that it stirred in me. I wasn't prepared for the initial feeling of I don't want to have to do that again. I was scared.
