Connecting to Love: Day 20 ~ Loving our Body

There are millions of microscopic functions that go on in our bodies every day, and you don’t even have to think about them, they just happen. Unfortunately, it often takes a crisis or a tragedy, such as a brush with death, a go-around with a disease, or a debilitating accident for some persons to realize that their bodies weren’t so bad to begin with and that their body hang-ups were a big waste of time. Don’t let that be the case with you.
According Steve Maraboli, “By choosing healthy over skinny you are choosing self-love over self-judgment. You are beautiful!”.
Diets, pills, quick-fixes, not exercising or over-exercising, all these things disrespect one of the greatest gifts you have been given - your body. You can reframe the way you look at diet and exercise as something wonderful you do for yourself, rather than a way to punish your unhealthy choices.
No matter how close-to-perfection body you have, there is something you would change about it if you could. Rather than pick your body apart, look at your body as a whole. You have a body but you are not of this body.

You want to feel so refreshed, energized, confident and beautiful, nothing will stop you - Begin today to start appreciating, accepting and loving your body.
Taking a new attitude toward your diet, increases your awareness of how good health affects you, and that choice built upon itself daily.
Treat yourself with the utmost respect, and you will want to give your body the healthy choices that it deserves and needs to function in the best way possible. Feed your body nourishing food so that you always feel great, and remove the worries of disease and poor health (healthy meals it’s also essential to nourish your heart and feed your mind with positivity). 

Choose to believe that you are worth taking care of and that you have the right to be respected and treated with dignity.
Stop obsessing over external appearances and obtaining an ideal body, and instead focus on the way being healthy makes you feel and what it gives you.
It may take some time to believe it, but in time you will re-train your thought process to be more positive. 
Learn to release negative thoughts about your body and to focus on the good that it brings you every single day. Learn to love yourself by catching and releasing negative thoughts, acknowledging your efforts and achievements, making positive daily affirmations, and seeing perfection in your “imperfections.”
Ironically enough, focusing on loving and caring for yourself first will most likely lead to the external transformation that you’ve always wanted. Once you begin to treat yourself with the respect and care that you deserve, the habits needed for physical transformation develop naturally.

Our subconscious mind hears the self-talk and responds to it in a similar way, so make sure your self-talk is loving, supportive, nurturing, and forgiving.
You’ll want to nourish your body because you are grateful for it, so healthy choices will come with ease, so let’s start putting our attention on loving our bodies from the inside out.
When you’re thinking loving thoughts and choosing only to have a conversation of love, your body will become more beautiful to you, and not because of what it looks like but for what it can do, as a vessel through which you express love. The more you think with love, love is all you see.

Remember this: you only get one body per lifetime, so give it the respect it deserves - Take care of your body...

DAILY QUOTE:
“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. 
Treat it with care” 
~ Buddha


ACTION:
When a negative thought about yourself enters your head, take a deep breath, release it, and repeat your positive affirmation in its place.

Treat yourself the way you would treat someone you love. Focus on health and feel well. Stay positive and be grateful. 

Every morning when you wake up, thank your body for resting and rejuvenating itself so you can enjoy the day, saying to yourself and your body "I am beautiful just the way I am".

Every evening when you go to bed, tell your body how much you appreciate what it has allowed you to do throughout the day.

Keep a daily list of 10 positive things about yourself - without mentioning your appearance.

Look in the mirror everyday and repeat the phrase “I am deserving and worthy of all good things, and accept myself unconditionally”.

Exercise to relieve the daily stresses of life, to release endorphins, to fight anxiety, and to feel good.

Meditate to get in touch with your emotions, to connect with your essence, and to feel at peace.


Write in a daily journal the affirmations:
“I am deserving and worthy of all good things,
 and accept myself unconditionally”
"I am beautiful just the way I am".
