Day 20: The Gift of Reverence (Cleanse, Ford)

    One simple task today in the Consciousness Cleanse, to bless your body.  Then, it can bless you back.  Our body permits us access to the game of life, Debbie says and we need to treat it like the divine gift it is.  Forgive your body if it is not exactly what you wished it would be (ie.  too fat, skinny, short, tall...)  Listen to your body because it tells you exactly what it needs.  "Your body needs to be exercised, to be cared for, nourished, and replenished.  it needs sunshine, good food, rest, nutrients, stretching, and care in the form of a dentist or a doctor." states Debbie.
     I received a text from my mom today on all the ways she is honoring her body.  She has a personal trainer, does yoga twice a week, bikes to places, takes time to read and eats healthy meals.  I'm very proud that she is taking care of herself.
      I got a new puppy Sunday evening and it's been a lot of work.  I feel tired and haven't been eating much since I'm stressed.  Plus, I haven't found time to exercise yet.  I can feel the difference in my body.  I feel less motivated to exercise, to eat healthy and feel less smiley.  Tonight I will make a healthy meal and exercise to keep my body running smoothly.  What will you do to honor your body today?
