Hey there, Jen here and this is a happy bit.

I'm talking today about body image.

So many of us look at various parts of our body with disgust or shame or even loathing.

And I want to challenge you to turn that completely around.

Spend some time today or as soon as possible.

Thinking about the various parts of your body

maybe starting down at your toes and working all the way up to the crown of your head

feeling gratitude for each part of the body sending it love sending it positivity

you might feel grateful that your feet have carried you everywhere you've wanted to go

throughout your life. You can think of all those places and think of all the walks in nature,

or perhaps the 5Ks you've run or the yoga classes you've attended. Perhaps you might move up to

your uterus and be grateful for the children. It has grown and carried and birthed for you and so on.

Be grateful for every part of you. And I want to end with a quote from Oprah. She said,

this is a call to arms, a call to be gentle, to be forgiving, to be generous with yourself.

The next time you look into the mirror,

try to let go of the storyline that says you're too fat or too sallow, too ashy or too old,

your eyes are too small or your nose too big. Just look into the mirror and see your face.

When the criticism drops away, what you will see then is just you, without judgment.

And that is the first step toward transforming your experience of the world.

Make it a great, great day.

Love yourself.

Love your body.
