Each of us has a unique relationship with our body. And each of our bodies is unique. In my relationship with my body, I’ve experienced both challenges and discoveries. The challenges of living with an autoimmune disease and the discoveries in learning to practice patience and compassion with my body. While that can sometimes be difficult to do, I believe self-compassion is essential to wellness and healing.
I came across this piece of writing by Lexy Florentina, a Somatic and Trauma Practitioner, that I’d like to share with you, with the intention of inviting you to take a fresh and loving look at your body.
Look at your body.
Look at those arms that have held people they love.
Look at those eyes that have seen oceans and mountains and big green trees.
Look at those legs that have carried you through your longest journeys.
Look at your feet that have held you up on your hardest days.
Look at your smile that has grinned a million times at the moments that have brought you joy.
Look at your body…not for the curves or textures but for the moments that this body has given you.
Look at your body.
Now what do you see?
My friend ~ How do you look at your body? In what ways do you treat your body with care? What would you like to do differently?
