Open, thank you so much for your detailed answer. A very interesting topic indeed!

Reading this is making me realize that I am growing from one to the other. I still want to be better than others and to prove my worth through physical achievements (also because of absence of expressed love in my childhood) but that feeling is slowly fading. Lately I indeed try to move completely into my body when I run, to a point that it becomes meditation. I begin to feel that it can help me to move through my emotional pain, by moving through physical fatigue/pain if that makes sense. As you described in your book; suffering is a choice in the moment.

Thanks again for your words, they're spot on.

Hannah
