What Makes You Feel Strong?

Describe your relationship with your body. 

My relationship with my body has evolved over the years. I accept the changes such as wrinkles and gray hair more easily. I obsess less with the need to always “look” good and accept that I am fine at this moment.

It makes me feel like I am home so I try to improve my conversations with my body every day. 
–Tanaya C. (via email)

I treat my body as my temple, careful to watch what I feed it, understanding that food is fuel. My body also signals using aches, pains, and sometimes inflammation when my mental health is struggling or when I am stressed.
