October 15th is "Love Your Body Day" sponsored by the National Organization for Women Foundation.
The next time you see your reflection, I challenge you to say "hi gorgeous" instead of the litany of negative comments you usually hurl in your own direction.
Better yet, I DARE you to look yourself in the mirror deeply into your eyes and appreciate what you see. Your appreciation can be of any element of yourself-a specific physical trait, your spirit,
your aliveness, whatever you like.
I have friends who can't (won't) do this. They find it too excruciating to face themselves.
Personally that saddens me deeply to think that the people I have invited into my life as friends
and whom I care deeply about, cannot see their own beauty as I see it.
Why won't we give to ourselves the same gift of acceptance and love we give to our dear friends?
In health,
Laura
