Do you feel appreciation for the functioning of your body?
When you don’t feel appreciation for the functioning of your body, it’s like you’re taking your body for granted. It seems to you that your body is just a vessel that carries you around, rather than a marvel of nature.
You forget to appreciate the thousands of processes it performs every second like moving and breathing. You forget to appreciate the strength and resilience it gives you, or the way it heals and grows and adapts. You overlook the miraculous ways your body works to keep you alive and thriving.
Sometimes you might get frustrated with it, maybe even angry, when it doesn’t look or behave as you want it to. You focus on the flaws, the things you wish were different, the ways it doesn’t measure up to some ideal.
It’s important to change this mindset, because it’s extraordinary to feel admiration for our life here, for the functioning of our bodies. So appreciate how beautiful it is to get up and walk. How beautiful it is to think. How beautiful it is to feel delight.
We have received so many gifts, such an enormous amount. Just feel that. And tell yourself: “Hey, you mind, take a vacation. Now I am playing the game of feeling. And I’m gonna feel it”. This sense of feeling is the language of our beings. Not words, because words are for people.
And now, feel this simple affirmation to appreciate your functioning as a being: “I am all perfection of action.” Feel proud. Feel proud and bend your fingers. Feel proud and turn your head. Feel proud and look ahead. Feel proud and sit up straight in the chair. Feel proud and feel your chest. Feel proud of yourself. Do you know what the additional effect of this is? The more pride you feel, the more your body changes to be proud. Because it listens to you.
So before you dive into the whirlpool of each day, sit down. Sit down and just feel grateful for getting out of bed. The delight of being able to stretch like a cat in your bed. The wonder that you can think, see, hear, and speak. It’s just so incredible.
When you repeat the active affirmation “I am all perfection of action,” you recognize the remarkable harmony and precision with which your body functions. This affirmation encourages you to shift from a lack of gratitude to a deep acknowledgment of your body’s capabilities.
By affirming ‘perfection of action’, you are recognizing that your body is working in harmony, even if you don’t always see it that way. These words remind you that your body is a symphony of perfectly coordinated actions.
Admire the way your heart beats steadily, the way your lungs fill with air, the way your muscles contract and relax to allow you to move. Acknowledge that every cell, every organ, every system is working in harmony to keep you alive and functioning.
Appreciate your body not just for how it looks, but for what it does, for the life it allows you to live. Choose to treat it with kindness, with respect, with love. Your body is not just something you inhabit, but a part of who you are, and it deserves to be celebrated, appreciated, and cared for. You are perfection in action, and truly understanding this is a humbling and inspiring feeling.
Overall, this affirmation promotes a sense of delight and appreciation for the body’s ability to act, respond, and adapt effortlessly to the demands of daily life. It shifts your focus from criticism to admiration. It helps you understand the natural perfection of your body and promotes a deeper connection with and gratitude for the physical being.
