Love Your Body

Your body is special, sacred, and beautiful. It exists to make you comfortable, to access and interact with the world around you, and to breathe joy into your existence. We tend to remember the times when our body is with disease, not operating properly, or not in perfect shape, yet time and again forget the years it spends lovingly and humbly keeping us safe and healthy. Do we not owe it to our bodies to love back?

There will always be people, media coverage, advertisements, and ideologies prompting you to believe that your body is not good enough. But you don’t need to listen. If you find yourself projecting negativity onto your body, remember the wonders it does for you and the love you feel for the fact that it does. Bring your attention to that body part or system, give it a loving pat if you can, and say kindly, “I love you.”
