Have you ever caught yourself saying mean words about your body? “My knees are knobby.” “My hearing is bad.” “My fingers look like sausages.” Listen to yourself today. How many times do you catch yourself criticizing your body? What if you turned that around and started complimenting it? “My knees help me walk to the mailbox.” “My ears can still hear my grandchildren playing.” “My fingers strum the guitar.”Think about each part of your body and how truly amazing it is.
