Love Yourself

Stop the body-hate. You only get one body. You don't get to trade it in for another one until you die, so start loving it. Appreciate it. Too often people treat the body like a source of discontentment or a scapegoat or a punching bag. This is not how the body should be treated! The body houses your mind and soul. Your body is what keeps you here on Earth! It is your home, your vehicle, your communication device and your mode of expression and interaction with this reality. Why in the world would you want to hate that?

Think of what happens to things we hate. They die! If you hate a bug, *squish* If you hate a wallpaper color, *replaced* If you hate a food, *not eatin’ it* Hate is a toxic emotion that kills things in your life like metaphysical Roundup. So why on this mo’fuggin green Earth would you want to hate your body!? Why would you want to pump toxic thoughts and emotions into the very thing that’s keeping you alive in this dimension? It’s stupid.

Find joy in yourself. Love yourself. There’s nothing wrong with you. Life doesn’t just miraculously become blissful if you’re a dress size smaller, have bigger biceps, less body fat, or look like a mo fuggin’ model! That’s a lie we’ve told ourselves for so long that we have accepted it as reality. Life gets better when you love yourself. When you honestly look inside yourself and are pleased with who you are entirely. That’s the truth.

Yet somehow we have turned hating-our-body into some kind of new national pastime. Or better yet, a mo’ fuggin competitive sport! Who can shame and hate themselves more during the course of a single conversation? We discuss our bodies from a place of lack almost reflexively. How it’s not working for you, not behaving properly, not looking the way it should etc… The reality is, that you’re not separate from your body; your body is a reflection of who you are. Your hate, unhappiness, self loathing, shame, guilt, are all diseases that are spilling over into your bones, muscles, organs, tissues, breathing, posture, gait, aches, pains and movement. You are poisoning yourself and killing your body by living with those emotional lies.

For whatever reason that you're dissatisfied about your body it is because of you! It is because of all the choices you've made. Your body is reflection of you! Guess what; you are beautiful! There is nothing wrong with you. The sooner you understand that, the better life is going to be. I don’t mean read it once, feel something inspirational, then forget it and shame yourself again the next time you look in the mirror. I mean believe it mo’ fuggah! I mean say it to yourself as a mantra. Repeat it to yourself for years. Imprint it on yourself for so long that you live by it unconsciously, without thinking about it, and truly make it a part of who you are.

Just take a moment to look at yourself. A moment to truly appreciate what you are. You are a miracle of celestial engineering. You are a self regenerating organic machine that is self aware and creates reality with every thought. Your consciousness is being housed inside the energy waves of a mind that rests in a brain which allows it to experience the world through a body that keeps you alive, here, on planet mo’ fuggin’ Earth. Is that not the most radical thing of all time!? You are a gangsta’ of this galaxy! Or as Queen says; princes of the Universe! Your are a highly developed being of great worth that’s taken 14 billion years to create! FOURTEEN BILLION YEARS to make *YOU*. The entire Universe exploded just so you could be here, right now, in this body. That’s what you should see when you look in the mirror. A miracle. Love that miracle; don’t shame it. You are perfect, and anything or anyone that tells you otherwise, including yourself, is telling you a lie.
