A Letter of appreciation to my body

In my private FB Group every Monday I share a Self-care check-in with my people. 

Last Monday, just 3 days before my 42ND Birthday, the Self-care check-in really resonated with me. 

FOCUS:  Notice the changes your body goes through without labeling them as good or bad.  How can you better appreciate the miracle of your body?

WOW.  The public responses were amazing - and positive!  The private responses and subsequent big, validated, emotions following were REAL.  Body Dysmorphia is REAL.  Many of us struggle with it and I think it's helpful to create a safe community where we can discuss, validate, and challenge ourselves.  I decided to challenge myself by writing my body a letter.     

Dear Body,
I’m writing this letter to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for all that you have endured and accomplished. As a 42-year-old cancer survivor, competitive equestrian, business owner, and mom, you have been the steadfast vessel through countless challenges and triumphs.
First and foremost, I want to thank you for your incredible strength and resilience. From battling cancer and navigating the complexities of recovery, to overcoming COVID and continuing to chase my dreams, you have proven time and again that you are a warrior. Your ability to heal, adapt, and push through adversity is nothing short of extraordinary.
Your endurance on the equestrian field, showing up for every ride, every competition, and every training session, speaks volumes about your power and grace. You have carried me through moments of victory and times of doubt, always pushing forward with determination and courage.
As a business owner and mom, you juggle countless responsibilities with unwavering dedication. You handle the demands of running a business, managing a household, and raising a family with a level of grace and tenacity that I deeply admire. Your ability to balance these roles while maintaining your own well-being is a testament to your strength and versatility.
Hosting summer parties and creating joyful memories for family and friends is another testament to your vitality and enthusiasm. You embrace these moments with an open heart and a generous spirit, bringing light and happiness into the lives of those around you.
I want to acknowledge the hard work you put in every day. The early mornings, the late nights, the physical and emotional strains – you handle them all with resilience and grace. Your ability to recover, to adapt, and to thrive is a true marvel.
So, thank you. Thank you for being my steadfast companion through all the highs and lows. Thank you for carrying me through every challenge and celebrating every victory. You are my greatest asset, and I am endlessly grateful for your strength, endurance, and unwavering spirit.
Here’s to continuing this journey together, with appreciation and love for all that you are and all that you do.
With deepest gratitude,
Ajia
