Appreciate Your Body & Mind

How might you experience yourself differently if you practiced appreciating what your body and mind allow you to experience, instead of evaluating them? Earlier this year, I began changing the way I spoke to myself. The more I practiced gratitude for my body’s ability to walk, exercise, garden, and do the things I enjoy, the less I focused on what I once saw as imperfections. Everything is constantly changing, including our bodies and minds.. When we treat every change as an imperfection, it becomes hard to feel at home with ourselves. Appreciating the experiences they make possible can help us meet ourselves with more love and compassion. What are you grateful for today because of your body and mind?
