Listening to Your Body's Wisdom

Write about a time the strength of your body took you somewhere you never thought you could go or let you do something you didn't think you could. How did it feel? Then name one concrete next step you can take today.

Focus on your hands. Close your eyes and bring awareness to your hands, palms, and fingers. Think about all your hands have held and touched. List things your hands have held with love. Then note what emotion is underneath and what you need most.

Dear Body,... Write a letter telling it ways you tend to distract yourself from its sensations and cues. Finish by stating things you want to do differently to be more in tune with its needs. Then capture one pattern you are noticing in your life right now.

Write about a time you felt deeply rested and relaxed. What were you doing? What sensations did you feel? What felt alive in you? What did you learn about what your body needs to feel replenished? Then write one gentle reframe you are willing to test this week.

Dear Self,... Write a letter from your body's perspective. Begin with, "I will change throughout your lifetime, and I want you to remember...". Then name one concrete next step you can take today.
