Reading 1 Thought from my book
Do you treat your body as well as you treat your car?
Summary:
Meghan opens her book, 30 Little Thoughts, to a random page and talks through what comes up. This one is thought 19: what we eat matters more than we even imagine. Your body is constantly doing its work without being reminded ... your heart pumps, your lungs breathe, your eyes blink. That gives self-respect a different meaning, which includes respecting your one-time gifted vessel enough to put in the proper fuel. Meghan walks through the car analogy, and what changes when you get curious about why your body is breaking down instead of getting frustrated with it. Then she widens it to exercise, sweating, crying, and everything else you ingest ... people, podcasts, music, TV, books, scrolling.
