Body Appreciation Day in My Musings

Our bodies are a true masterpiece, with each part being able to function both on its own and in support with the others. It’s quite a shame that we sometimes neglect or abuse our body in the process, which affect its ability to perform at its peak.

I’ve gotten a finer appreciation of what my body is capable of, owing to the top 3 in my list:

1. The heart: No doubt the most important muscle. It supplies blood to every organ and tissue, which makes them function like a finely-oiled machine. In another aspect, it brings forth hope and trust, even if the mind dictates otherwise.

2. The mind / brain: Complements the heart. Responsible for our behavior and how we perceive everything around us. It allows us to be logical and properly discern the situation to avoid hasty / ill-informed decisions.

3. The skin: The largest organ. It serves as a barrier of sorts, while also allowing us to sense the most minute of details.

The above does not signify less importance of the others i.e. stomach, kidney, etc; rather these are what I’ve found to be what have supported me greatly - not only physically, but also mentally and even spiritually.
