Choice #2: Be grateful

0 Comments

Another choice we can make is to be grateful for what we have.

When you look at your reflection in the mirror, focus on the parts of your body you truly and already love. It might be your long and silky hair or your colorful nails you just painted yesterday. It can be your smile, or your feet, or your neck...

Maybe you are not yet at the point where you accept your whole body as it is; then, as a start, you can just focus on those parts that you already appreciate. It's a process. Be patient and loving !

More than just seeing our body as a body, thinking about what we can do with it, can help :

Your robust arms that allows you to carry your children.

You strong legs allow you to go for long walks and enjoy a nice weather;

Your cute nose allows you to smell the sweet flowers in your garden.

Your beautiful eyes allows you to watch your favorite TV show after a long day of work.

Let's reject all negative thoughts coming in our heads.

Let's be grateful !

I encourage you to take a few minutes every morning before getting up and every evening before falling asleep. Take them and think about the things you are grateful for. It makes life more peaceful.

For more than the body, we can be thankful for anything that has happened during the day or we got blessed with!

Here is what I would say :

I'm grateful for the nice weather we had today. It was nice to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin.

I'm grateful for my husband who makes me laugh and who loves me (I love you too baby! Thanks for helping me to translate the articles by the way !),

I'm grateful for having a roof over my head,

I'm grateful for the relationship I have with my family,

I'm grateful for the friend I'll be meeting tomorrow.

….

Thank you God for all your blessings!

Now, it is you turn !
