How can you accept your body as it it?

Oct 25

Here’s a poem from Donna Ashworth

OR YOU COULD JUST LIVE

You are going to wish your body was more

you are going to wish your body was less

you are going to wish your body would change

you are going to wish your body would not.

You are going to wish your body was many things

between now

and the day you leave this mortal coil.

And one day

as is always the way

you will look back

and see

that your body was always as it should be

doing its best

to be you

for you.

And you are then going to wish that just once

you had told your body

I accept you, as you are, right now.

And that maybe had you done this

you would have spared yourself a lifetime

of wishing for something you didn’t really ever need.

That what it was you should have been wishing for in fact

was the courage to accept

the strength to embrace

the wisdom to really see

what you have.

You’re going to wish for many things

when it comes to your body.

Or you could just wish for health.

And live your life

flawed and beautiful.
