🌞 Good Morning, and Welcome to Day 7 of Nourishing November! 🌞
Today marks the end of our first week together, and what a journey it has been so far! We’ve been exploring gratitude in our surroundings, our daily routines, and within ourselves. Today, let’s take a moment to turn our gratitude inward and appreciate the incredible ways our bodies support us. Our bodies carry us through each day, enabling us to experience life fully, and they deserve our love and recognition.
Begin today with this affirmation:
"I honor my body and the journey it takes me on." 🌿
Take a few deep breaths, repeating this affirmation to yourself. Today, we’re honoring our bodies—not for perfection, but for their resilience, their strength, and all they do to keep us moving forward. This is a chance to connect with your body in a gentle, appreciative way, recognizing it as a source of support and strength.
🌸 Today’s Activity: Mini Body Scan
Today, let’s take a few minutes to do a mini body scan, a simple practice that helps us reconnect with our physical selves. Find a comfortable spot to sit or lie down, close your eyes if you’d like, and start by taking a deep, relaxing breath.
Begin at the top of your head and slowly move your attention down through your body, part by part. Notice how each area feels, and as you bring your awareness to each part, take a moment to silently thank it. Thank your eyes for seeing, your hands for creating, your legs for carrying you, and so on. Move gently and mindfully, feeling gratitude for each part of your body and all that it allows you to do.
This practice can be as short or as long as you’d like. The goal is to notice, appreciate, and connect with your body in a caring way. When you’re done, take a moment to feel gratitude for this vessel that carries you through life.
I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience tonight. Wishing you a day filled with self-compassion and gentle gratitude for your body. 🌿
