Recovering Heart?

Hi everyone, 

I'm Kardia, a 20-year-old student based in Hong Kong! I'm starting this blog to help myself process and document the things I've been going through while sharing my testimony with my readers! 

Recovering Heart was chosen as the title because this blog is a description of my journey in healing and recovering from my past hurts and wounds. I believe that in order for me to deal with them is by getting at its roots, which is my heart. Coincidentally, my name is also the Greek word for Heart (so yay!) 

There are a few series/themes that I will be writing around. These series are centred around the healing and recovering journey I'm going on. Here are the three that I will be writing on in the near future: 
  • Eat Your Heart Out:
    • My recovery on disordered eating, body dysmorphia, working out and body image 
  • Intentional Rest: 
    • My journey in recognising the Sabbath as a workaholic
  • Undignified Worship: 
    • My growth as a worship team member and worship leader 
I'm super excited to share my life with all of you and I hope that these stories can help those who are also walking in the same journey as I am. There will be new series and random posts on this blog too so stay in the loop!

Eat Your Heart Out: The Designer

Hi everyone!  This is the first chapter of my first series, Eat Your Heart Out.

But otherwise, I hope this story can encourage those of you who have been through, or are going through, similar situations.  Growing up, I've always been classified as a bigger girl. In family gatherings, I would always hear my relatives saying "aww.. you're so cute, you're so chubby." Basically, being chubby and having a little more weight has always been considered a "funny" thing. While I didn't take every word to heart at first, hearing it constantly started to tear me down.  From a young age, I became very self-conscious and I always wanted to look pretty. I remember asking my mom to do my hair, playing dress up and wearing fancy princess clothes at birthday parties. I started comparing my body with other people and thinki...

Eat Your Heart Out: The Peloton

Hey everyone,  I hope the last post spoke to you and helped you look into yourself, your past and think about how those experiences shaped you and what they can do to help you fulfil your purpose. Thank you for reading the last post and coming back for this one!  If you haven't seen the last post, the gist of it is this: I care about how I look, maybe a little too much. This is useful information haha  Despite having gone through a healing process, my eating disorder hasn't completely disappeared. There has been multiple occasions in the past 6 years when I would think to myself and say, "Oh, I feel awful today, I feel so fat. I'm just going to skip lunch for the next 3 days and I'll be fine." Before I know it, I would go a week without having lunch and I would justify it every single time.  Another contributor to this obsession is a messy incident that happened when I was younger. Long story short, it left me with the impression that I am only valuable when I...
