That is the question....
My answer is, "I don't know." It was uncomfortable for me. It was difficult for me to be open but I wanted to push myself and I did. I think it's okay. I am freer. I have let go of some 30 year old baggage. And I will not carry other people's baggage anymore; it's not my *bleep*. Furthermore, if anyone has any ideas about putting me in a box, forget about it. I'm simply not having it. I will not be defined by anyone's limitations or expectations of me. I am changed. I am a new person. I am different. But it was so uncomfortable for me to get to this place--in such a short period of time. I don't necessarily recommend it.
It's kinda like when I jumped in the ocean to swim out to that pod of wild Spinner Dolphins. Yes, it was one of the most magnificent encounters that I will ever have. It was divine. But, at times, I was almost overcome with fear--after the dolphins swam away and there I was, floating in the blue abyss, at dusk, with my husband, who is a faster swimmer, no life jacket, no swim fins, and my subpar swimming skills. It was frightening and I felt fairly stupid but prayed constantly and just kept heading toward the rocks, while cursing my husband. I returned three days in a row, jumped in to meet them, and each day I swore I would not return but each day I was dolphinzed.
That's how the bootcamp was for me. Each day I pushed the envelope a little further, each day I regretted it and each day I became better, stronger, faster! I am Bionic!
You know, that's it. There are some things that I found very frustrating, strange, and annoying but I would do it again and I hope to Go Further.
