Alexa, I appreciated this encouragement. I have many bad body days, but I have lost a few pounds recently so I try to focus on the positive. I think you’re right in that we shouldn’t get stuck there, we should lift our eyes off of ourselves and move on. When we focus on our blessings and on others, the love handles don’t seem to matter so much.

Isn't it so true? Definitely not easy but it's work that is worth it. I'm certain the spiral of bad body days never leads to more joy or a more fulfilling life. It's just not worth it no matter how much my brain wants to cling to it sometimes. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Alexa, I really enjoyed reading this! I walk in nature a lot and focus on the Universe in the little things: leaves, flowers, grass, shape of the trees! I caress my body and I thank it for being so good to me and doing so many unseen&unmeasurable tasks
