Love Yourself No Matter Your "Body Size"

Show yourself some body love and appreciation this week. You are naturally unique. You are you - and your body is perfect just the way you are.

Our body is the only body we have in this lifetime.Think about that...Everything we do in one day affects the vessel we live in. We eat, exercise, sit, walk, and sleep.

None of life's experiences would be possible if we did not have a body...We would just be a fragment of our Creator's imagination without a way to do and create physically in the "now".

We could not be born without a body...It's silly, but think about it.

No baby is born without a body. Yes, we should embrace the body that we have!

What is the body for?

The body is here to help you experience life.

To taste, sense, feel, express, and connect with life. The more you appreciate what a body does for you, the more your body can help you in your life. The more grateful you are for what you have, the more freedom you have from other's opinions.

The body is a vehicle for your soul so you can do, experience, and live fully in this life. It does so much for you, naturally.

Aside from other's opinions of what you look like, do not take it for granted if you are able-bodied which means you can: walk, stand upright, stretch, exercise (even lightly), and can get from place to place. The ability to have two functioning feet and arms is a miracle.

Every cell in your body is functioning to keep you alive, breathing, functioning, and moving.

Let's pause to think about it. You are not here by mistake. You are a living, breathing, ALIVE organism that deserves to THRIVE!

Just for today, release any self-criticism. We've all heard enough.
