Coaching Corner: Thanking Your Body

This is the season of giving thanks and what a fantastic practice that is! Studies have shown___________. So why not be thankful?!

I have a special healthy challenge for you this week and it  is giving thanks for your body. Our bodies are truly incredible things. The way  so many working pieces come together for us to function is nothing short of a miracle. How easy it is to lose sight of this when we are on a journey of change. It can be very tempting to focus on the change that we want to see, that we can lose sight of the value before us. One of my favorite quotes is: Be happy with who you are now, and let that positivity inspire your journey into tomorrow.  Let us take some time to celebrate what we have and who we are.

I challenge you to make a list of 25 things that you like about your body and what you are thankful that your body allows you to do. They can be items big or small but do not stop until you hit 25. And then I encourage you to read the list all the way through, slowly. Think about each thing and how incredible you are.
