Love Your Body Week!

We often forget to appreciate and think about the wonderful things our body does for us. The rest of the week try to be mindful of your body and think of positive things it does for you. Make a list of five things and keep it in a place you will be frequently reminded of how amazing the human body is!


Here is some information from the group SPEAK at the University of Utah:
Love Your Body Week is a time to celebrate our bodies, no matter the shape or size, and all that we can do with our bodies.  It is a time to be aware of the things that make us feel bad about ourselves and fight them with the things that help us feel good about ourselves.  Most importantly, it is a about learning to be comfortable with who we are.  This year our theme is "Love Your Body, Love Your Land."


We chose the theme “Love Your Body, Love Your Land” because we feel it is important to remember that our environment plays a very large role in our well-being.  Since environmental health is a very broad topic, we are focusing our efforts mainly on healthy relationships with food, growing and using fresh produce, and being aware of things we can do that will have a positive impact on the world around us.  Each of us can make a difference by being more self-aware and having a healthy relationship with our environment.
