You are a talented writer, and I admire your positive perspective. It’s common for many people to have insecurities about their bodies, often overlooking the incredible things our bodies do for us every day. For example, I have a lazy eye that I sometimes find embarrassing, especially when others notice it. This awareness can be difficult, but I try to remind myself that it could be worse. At least I still have vision, which is something to be grateful for. Embracing what we have can help us shift our mindset and appreciate our bodies more fully.

Thanks for writing about how we can tend to negatively think about our bodies but then show how we can easily find the beauty, strength, and importance of our bodies - who we are, how we are, and where we're from. Our bodies are a gift from our ancestors (and Earth) that, when protected with boots👢 that are made for walkin' to our happy place, we can continue walking through this thing we call life. ✨

So true. Dropping into body despair is so easy … really grateful to also be building the gratitude muscle / practice.
