💯 beautiful 💯

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
How much disease it has fought off.
How many times it could have failed but battled on,
how many ways it could have broken but did not.

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
And each day it has done this amazing job,
without your help,
without your approval,
your acceptance,
your kindness.

Each day it has soldiered on,
regardless of the constant stream of negativity,
pulsing its way from your brain to your cells.
Not good enough.
Not attractive enough.
Not the right shape.

Perhaps it’s time to see your body for what is truly is,
An amazing and mind-blowingly competent machine.
To get your soul to where it needs to be in this life.
To let you live.

I wonder if you know,
how much better you would be as a team.
I wonder.

~Sensorial Meditation~.
✨Take a big deep breath. ✨

Center yourself.
Feet on the floor.
Hands in your lap.
Eyes closed.
For the next few moments, move through each of your senses- bringing your attention to the details

✨Focus on your sense of sight
-recreate your current space in your mind.. (light, color, beauty, etc)

✨Focus on the sense of sound -tune in to all the details you can hear.. (birds, music, laughter, etc)

✨Focus on your sense of smell
-breathing through your nose bring your attention to what you can smell.. (food cooking, ocean air, perfume, etc). .

✨Focus on your sense of taste
-check in with all that’s going on in your mouth.. (toothpaste, coffee, gum, etc). .

✨Focus on your sense of touch
-notice all the things that you can feel.. (temperature, texture, your breath and heartbeat, etc)

✨Gently allow yourself to return to the room. Open your eyes and notice how present, centered, and grounded you feel. .

✨Inhale another deep breath. Exhale with a sigh

✨Draw a new conclusion in spite of the uncertainty. ✨Right here, right now ~in the present moment~ ✨all is well. ✨
