Day 12 - Body Kindness
Day 12 - Body Kindness
Theme: Listening to your body’s needs.
Your body carries every emotion, every memory, every experience. It has survived everything you’ve lived through. It deserves care, not criticism.
Try this:
Place a hand on your heart or stomach. Take a slow breath. Notice any tension, warmth, heaviness, or lightness.
Reflection:
What does your body need more of today?
• Rest
• Water
• Stretching
• Nourishing food
• Comfort
• Stillness
• Movement
Or perhaps it is something else? :)

I actually do something v similar to this in moments of stress and panic and it’s very calming, like a gentle reminder that you can feel your safe touch and you’ve got yourself and it’s all okay. 💛
Great exercise recommendation, Lisa! Thanks for sharing!
Certainly encouraging everyone to try this out, even when you’re not in a particularly stressful or overwhelming situation hehe. 💛
Gentle circular motion rubs on your chest and tummy can be v grounding too, by the way! :)

It is so lovely to see your warm messages here Sunisshining! :) I hope you have been well and managed to take some time out for you to be kind to yourself.
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
I love this exercise Lisa, it always helps me to connect with my body and become aware of my needs. Right now, I might need sleep so I will log off shortly and get some rest.
Thanks for all your postings!
