How would we value our health if we looked at our bodies as “where we lived?”
There are so many times it is easy to abuse our bodies…too much to drink, eat, even worse; maintaining addictive behaviors such as the use of drugs and alcoholism.
What does this type of abuse do to our bodies? It weakens us. It changes our spirit. It can cause us to feel “less than” others. It prevents us from achieving our best life.
When you think about it, our bodies tolerate a great deal of abuse. People can lose hundreds of pounds, gain weight back, and lose it again. Our skin is simply amazing, in that it supports us, protects us and allows us to weather many of these changes, while protecting our organs and trying to ensure we maintain our health. I guess that’s where the saying, “Develop some thick skin!” came from.
No “body” is perfect. Embrace what you have and who you are. Realize that you can really change your unhealthy habits and create new ones. After all…your life may depend on it one day. Let's not wait! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
