Love Letter To Your Body

Kind invite of the day:

Write a love letter to your body or a part of your body that has given you, or can at times give you a bit of a hard time (like pain or discomfort) or that you perhaps tend to be self-conscious about.

Maybe something like this:

My darling back,

I know you have been in a lot of pain lately. I’m really sorry about that. I can feel it too. 
I realize that at times I have gotten frustrated at you. I have felt confused or angry that I don’t know where the pain seems to be coming from, or that it continues to be there despite my efforts to make it better. 
I know that does not help. 

I am sorry I have not been listening to you, or maybe not in the way you’ve needed me to. I know I expect so much from you, and in the past you have given me all you could. I know you would probably continue to do that now, without causing me any pain —but maybe time has changed things, and we both need to pay attention to that. 

Maybe we just need to be better at listening to one another, and to strengthen our partnership as we adapt to the changes happening in each of us. I want you to know that I intend to continue to get better at listening to you and what you need, and at cultivating compassion towards you and me, and love and pride for all we have done together so far. 

I love you so much and I’m so grateful for you.
Thank you for supporting me and for taking me to all the places I want to go, and for being so strong for me, always. 💗
