Jordan Underwood explains to Shape that thanking your body can be very effective when it comes to self-love. “Get into a comfortable position (not in front of a mirror), either sitting or laying down, and thank the parts of your body that you love. And then thank the parts of your body that are harder for you to love,” they explain.
It might be difficult to find body parts you think are worth thanking, but remember that all bodies are worthy of love, no matter their form. You might think your arms need more toning, but those are the same arms that stretch to hug your loved ones when they’re hurting. You might want to hide your belly, but it is working hard to turn that gourmet meal you made into energy. You might hate the scars on your legs, but they’re reminders of all the fun you had running, jumping, and playing as a child. Even if you don’t mean it at first, keep trying. Underwood encourages us to “work up to being able to tell each part of your body ‘thank you,’ for its purpose — and that purpose is keeping you alive.”
