Body Positive Day


Did you know that today is 'Be Body Positive' Day?!  Yes, it's the third annual time this event is being celebrated!

Living with Ed, it can be hard to even begin imaging celebrating our body and all that's positive about it but today I DARE you to take on that challenge.  

For many years, I hated .... no, despised my body.  As far as I was concerned, there was nothing good about it and I certainly didn't like the way it looked.  The key for me was beginning to accept and then like the functions of my body.  There was no way Ed could argue against the reality that my fingers were amazing for being able to type on a keyboard, or the evidence that my legs were amazing for the fact they could help me stand up each morning and walk from my bedroom to begin my day.

The purpose of "Be Body Positive Day' is "to do something enjoyable that expands your love for your unique body. You can do an activity alone, with family or friends, or just change the thoughts in your mind. The point is to spend a day doing the things that give you pleasure because you deserve to feel good about who you are!"

And so, in spirit of the Daily Dare, I DARE you to do something today that allows you to honor your body.  Go for a walk, type an email, or use your ears as you make a phone call and listen to the person the other end!!  And once you've done that, come on to our site and share how you are celebrating Be Body Positive Day!!

Go on, you CAN do this .... fight back against Ed in style today!
