Feeling disconnected or falling out of love with your body? We explore the transformative power of body gratitude, especially as we navigate the complexities of midlife. Join host, Valerie Mekki, a career change guide and mindfulness enthusiast, and delve deep into how our relationships with our bodies may feel distant as we age, however, there are simple ways to appreciate and love your body again.
Valerie discusses practical ways to cultivate body gratitude daily, from the first breath of the morning to the last thought at night, and how this practice can shift our mindset, improve our well-being, and deepen our appreciation for the incredible journey our bodies navigate. Practice an affirmation of gratitude for your body that you can recite for 21 days having you feeling motivated, inspired, and a more meaningful connection with your body.
