Seethegood

I was listening to music today and a Raye Zaragoza song came on with a line that says “my body’s not a monster.” ~
It made me think about how I feel about my own body. My body is chronically sick and broken. It causes me a lot of trouble, a lot of pain, and it drastically limits the way I’m able to live my life. But that doesn’t mean I should see my body as a monster, as something that’s just here to harm me and make me miserable. I shouldn’t hate my body! I should not see it as my enemy, but often I do. ~
I have to change that thinking. Just like I have to look for and focus on the good in my life, or in my days, I must also remember the good about my body. It’s not all bad! I must be grateful for my body. I must recognize and be thankful for all the things it CAN do, for the parts of it that are healthier and DO work. Some of these parts are the reason I can do the things I love the most. They are the reason I can experience the good that is in my life.
