BODY Respect
Holding and developing positive regard and appreciation for your own body.
Today’s questions for you are…
Do I hold my one precious body in high-regard?
Do I honor my true needs?
Do I show myself care and appreciation?
Truly, take a moment and answer those questions.
The answer isn’t for anyone else but you.
And no matter what the answer is…
how does that feel?
Is this the way you want to feel?
Is this the kind of relationship you want with your body?
If it is…brava!
If it’s not…it may be time to turn your kind and healing attention towards creating a more respectful relationship with your body.
It’s worth it.
It makes living in your body more joyful.
And you deserve that.
