What Do You Love About Your Body?

A short and simple thought to put into your head. What do you love about your body that you absolutely cannot give up? I'm not talking about the external parts of us we see in the mirror, lets get beyond that topic and move to something much deeper. I'm talking about what it is that you appreciate about your body that makes it tick the way it does, that lets you move about and do every-day-things simply because 'it' is there. I'll start first: I love my right foot! I don't think I could do much without it! Last week I jammed up my right set of toes and since then I have been in considerable pain when I move about, especially walking. For a while I was almost getting used to the feeling of having a 'disability' but as the pain wore off and the healing began, I noticed how much more in a day I could do when my foot had felt better than the previous. Because of this injury I have become so appreciative of my right foot and all of the ways it gives me my liberty. I don't know what I would do without it. Additionally, today a friend told me she lost her mother to kidney failure. Such a sad, sad experience. I thought about my kidney's all day and made sure my brain told them how much I love and appreciate them. I decided to treat them to a day of very low sodium and zero alcohol because they deserve a vacation. After all, I couldn't live if they decided to give up! I hope they got the message. Having thought about all of the body parts I have that work so hard to keep me at homeostasis, I think I will dedicate an entire month to my body, each day focusing on two or three particular parts or aspects and thanking them for such an impressive effort, for never letting me down. So maybe you should try to do the same. What is a body part you appreciate today? Try to think of at least 5 reasons why you love it and think about how your life would alter if it didn't work the way it does now. Tomorrow think of two and so on and so on...Enjoy the thoughts!
