When it comes to our bodies, a lot of us spend more time criticizing our imperfections and thinking about the things we would change about how we look, rather than thinking about what our bodies do for us each and every day. It's so easy to get caught up in that line of thinking, especially when there are so many outside pressures from social media, TV, movies, and even our own friends and family. But our bodies do a lot for us—every day, our body enables us to move through life and experience all it has to offer, no matter how fit or able we are.
Our bodies are by no means perfect, and we all have different life experiences that contribute to their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses—but that doesn't mean we should discredit or be so hard on them. We've got to cut ourselves (and our bodies) some slack and appreciate them for all they do, from the big things to the little things. For example, right now, you're reading this article because your body itself is working hard to see it physically and comprehend it mentally. It's a meta way of thinking, but it's true! Your body is a lot stronger and more capable than you think.
