Thanks to Your Body

I heard something today that really struck me.  What I heard was, “Thank your body for supporting you.” It struck me because we spend so much time being critical of our bodies. 

What if we treated our children that way - never being satisfied and criticizing them all the time? Chances are the child would not grow up well and would have definite self-esteem issues.  The child would have a much better chance at being successful with positive encouraging statements.

Consider the same with your body. Be positive and encouraging and appreciate many of the good things about your body. It may not be perfect, but it is yours.
