My body is not my enemy

My body isn't "perfect" and it's taken me a long time to come to accept her, just as she is. I used to focus only on the things that I didn't like about my body. But I've come to appreciate my overall health.

When I am fully present with her, she helps me tune in to my experiences and she communicates how I'm feeling. My emotions, which I used to ignore, are now important sources of information about my needs, what's right and wrong for me, and the direction I want to go next. Through my body, I express my uniqueness, and take action toward my purpose.

My body is not my enemy and I don't want to fight with her anymore. Those unrealistic expectations I used to have of her only kept me from living liberated and empowered.

I've released any desire of having the "perfect" body. I want her to be healthy and full of passion and energy so I can do all the fun things I want to do.

I am grateful to my body for holding my innate wisdom, personal power, and inner guidance system to my personal freedom.
