“Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” It is amazing how easily we forget to appreciate the simple day-to-day luxuries that we are granted with our body. We assume that as we exhale, there will always be an inhalation to follow. We assume that when we lay our head down on our pillow at night, our heart will beat, our blood will flow, and we will open our eyes in the morning. We go on day after day, running around with a mile-long to-do list without taking a moment to check in with our body to acknowledge how it’s feeling today. As a result, our health and well-being end up last on that list of priorities. We pretend we are superhuman, existing on caffeine in place of adequate sleep and snacks from the vending machine in place of meals. Today is the day that you begin to make your body and physical self a priority. When you go-go-go without giving your body the nourishment and care that it needs to thrive, your body begins to give you the sign that it needs attention. Today, begin to listen and act on your body's signals that you need to slow down and give your body what it is asking you for. There is nothing you need to prove to anyone. You are worthy now. Who you are and where you are right now is enough. Today, nourish your body in every way you can. Prioritize your priorities by carving out the time in your schedule for the things that matter to you most. Multitask less, be present in the moment more. Life is so much more enjoyable when you are engaged and present versus on your phone texting, Facebooking-all illusions that you give your time, power and sometimes your well being over to. The more you practice taking really good care of your body, the more it will reward you with good health, tons of clarity, energy, and the ability to experience all the good that life has to offer you! Today, treat your precious body with love and kindness. This is your body—yours—and it’s the only one you’ve got. Today choose to treat it well.

Just for today, nourishing myself is a joyful experience. I am worth the time spent on my healing. I nourish myself by saying no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. I know what I need and I do not have to apologize for it. I am so grateful for my healthy body. I love Life and Life loves me. I am safe. It is only change and everything is working out for my highest good. And so ti is.
