Love Letter To My Body
Recipe Key
Since research has proven that what we think and feel about our body affects our health and happiness, I decided to write a love letter to my body to shift some of the negative chatter that comes up for me. It’s amazing how good it works. 💕
Do you say mean things about your body that you would never ever say to another person? Many of us do. I wrote this love letter to my body to shift my internal dialog from judgment to kindness. I read it in the morning to remind me how much I appreciate my body. It feels good! I hope you like it!
Dear Beloved Body,
Thank you for being my greatest companion and the vessel through which I experience the richness of this beautiful life. I vow to honor, cherish, and respect you in every way. You are my most loyal ally. I appreciate everything you do FOR ME without me even asking
I am committed to having a relationship with you that is based on love, appreciation, and deep listening. No longer will I ignore your whispers or push past your signals. I choose to trust you, to nourish you, and to celebrate you exactly as you are.
I choose to see your beauty in all forms, in all phases, in every curve, mark, and movement. When I feel judgment arise, I will notice with curiosityand shift my inner dialogue to one of kindness, replacing criticism with patience and tenderness.
I make pleasure and joy a priority—moving you in ways that feel exciting and energizing. I choose to feed you delicious foods that delight and satisfy you. I allow you to rest when you’re tired.
I will no longer treat you as something to fix, shrink, or control. Instead, I will honor you as something to adore, nurture, respect and trust.
If pain or discomfort comes up, I am committed to being gentle with you instead of judging or fearing you. I’ll love and care for you just as you are with patience and tenderness.
I choose to be present with you as I go through my day. I’ll listen when you speak—whether through sensation, emotion, or energy. I promise to slow down, to breathe, to ask: What do you need? And then, I will honor your answer.
From now on I promise to be your greatest ally, your biggest fan and your most devoted friend.
With love and appreciation,
