Hey love,

Today let me ask you a question.

What has your body done to you that you treat him like that?

What has your body ever done wrong that you're not nourishing it with love,

That you feed it with chemicals,

That you overtrain it,

That you undernourish it,

That you don't give it the rest it deserves?

What did your body do wrong?

Your body carries you every single day.

It takes you every step of your life.

It takes you into every room,

Into every conversation,

Into every new country.

Your body is healing you all the time.

It is detoxing any chemicals that you put into it.

It is detoxing anything that you put onto your body.

It is always there for you.

It wants you to survive.

It wants you to thrive and to heal and to be full of energy.

It gives you everything it's got every single day.

And how do you treat your body?

Do you treat it with love,

With rest,

With nourishment?

Do you treat it the way you would want to be treated?

And I just want to make a change in your perspective.

What if your body would be a gift from a friend?

Like if a good friend of you would lend you its body and you would be responsible for it for one year.

And after one year your friend will return and you give it,

You give him or her the body back.

How would you treat that body?

And why is it that you would treat someone else's body better than yours?

When all your body is doing is carrying you every second.

Today I really want you to do one thing.

One thing that shows your body how much you care for it.

Just one thing.

Close your eyes for a moment.

Take a deep breath into your heart.

And with your exhale ask your body what it needs from you.

And then give it that love,

That gratitude and say thank you.

Thank you body for being here for me every day.

Thank you for carrying me.

Thank you for healing me.

Thank you for being here with me.

Thank you for making it possible for my soul to be on that planet.

Thank you for being my home for my lifetime here on earth.

And I promise you that I'm gonna treat you with love,

With respect,

With nourishment,

With gratitude.

Because you deserve it.
