Body-Peace Resolution Challenge #8: Write Down 5 Things You Truly Love About Yourself

The Challenge: Before bed tonight, write down five things about yourself and your body that you truly love. These things should not be image-focused, like “my pretty eyes.” Instead, try something like, “I deeply appreciate my feet, because they carry me through my life, every day, without questions!” Or, “I love that no matter what happens, I choose to look on the bright side of things.”

The Benefit: Doing this forces yourself to take note of all the wonderful, capable aspects of your body, and writing these down will help to cement them in your memory.
