Remember To Always Thank Your Body

When was the last time you thanked your body?

Every person in the world is unique in more ways than one. However, people often get into the habit of comparing themselves to others. It's a natural thing to do, almost everyone does it at some point in time. It's also natural to talk down to yourself every now and then, though some people do this more often than others. When this starts to happen, you need to learn how to talk yourself out of these thoughts, and start almost thanking your body for everything that it is.

Let me give you some examples to help you along.

First of all, let's just admire how your body never gives up on you. Ever. No matter what you put it through, it's still moving along, doing it's thing, so you're healthy and functioning right. You could treat your body absolutely awful for days, but it doesn't give up on you. Your heart keeps beating, your blood keeps flowing, and everything continues to regulate itself. It may be strained, but it never stops. Always thank your body for never giving up on you.

Going off of that, your body is very forgiving. Thank it for always forgiving you, even if you put it through unhealthy habits. I know I have put my body through some absolutely horrible things. It may have struggled during that period of time, but now it is healthier and stronger than it has ever been. It has been treating me great. Always thank your body for forgiving you.

As I stated before, everyone in the world is unique. Thank your body for making you special, and making you who you are. Your body is what houses your soul, and part of what makes you who you are. Your body is what helps you think, and helps you carry out your favorite activities. It is truly amazing how your body is one of the reasons that you are the amazing person that you are. Thank your body for making you the person that you are now; one of a kind.

I know I personally love to eat. Eating is a huge part of people's social lives, family lives and even culture. Your body does some incredible processes, so you are able to eat almost whatever you want. Thank your body for allowing you to eat wonderful food around friends, family and any other loved ones.

Without your legs, or your strength, you would not have been able to have any of the experiences that you have had throughout your life. Your legs allow you to travel and your eyes allow you to experience and see first hand the beauty of life. Your senses allow you to make memories and experiences. Thank your body for allowing you to always live your life to the fullest, no matter what may come in your way. Thank your body for your senses, which allow you to make memories that will last a lifetime.

I could name a million other reasons why your body is absolutely incredible. If you remember to thank your body, or at least name one thing you love about yourself, your view towards yourself will change forever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
