⨠Today I celebrate another trip around the sun ā and this year, more than ever, Iām reflecting on how deeply Iāve come to appreciate this body I live in.
Not just how it looks.
But how it moves.
How it feels.
How it carries me through life, day after day.
There was a time I saw my body only through the lens of judgment⦠picking apart the pieces I wanted to change. But now, after years of learning, unlearning, healing, and growing ā I see it with so much more compassion.
This body has grown life.
Held little hands.
Wiped tears.
Run miles.
Carried stress.
Held joy.
And through it all ā itās never given up on me.
And Iāll be honest ā itās still hard sometimes. Even today, trying to take a photo I liked of myself was not easy (and I donāt think I do like it). But. Iām learning to quiet those voices and see myself through kinder eyes. *Progress over perfection ā always.
The truth is, health isnāt just about the scale or a pant size. Itās about how you feel in your skin. Itās energy, strength, joy, and being able to show up fully ā for your kids, your partner, your purpose.
As I get older, I realise the greatest gift I can give to myself (and to those I love), is a healthy, happy ME. š When Iām nourished, rested, and aligned with what my body needs ā Iām a better mom. A better wife. A better human.
So today, I celebrate life. But more than that ā I celebrate the commitment Iāve made to honour my health, love my body, and create a life that feels good inside and out.
If youāre on your own journey, please know: you donāt have to do it perfectly š You just have to keep showing up. Your body isnāt the enemy ā itās your greatest ally. And itās never too late to start treating it with the love it deserves.
Cheers to another year! š„
