Movement

I recently watched a Dove commercial named "these legs." It shows a smiling, preschool age girl running down the sidewalk and reads, "at 3, these legs are unstoppable." She continues to run and then it cuts to a statement that reads, "at 14, she'll think they're unbearable."

This broke my heart and got me thinking. What if we lived in a world where we helped people find enjoyment in movement? What if we started by loving our bodies?

We are inundated with pictures and messages that there is a right type of body. But what if we shrugged that off and appreciated our bodies for all they have been through? If we start with cultivating gratitude and appreciation, can we start to enjoy life in our body?

Movement can be joyful. It can be relaxing, fulfilling and even something you might look forward to in your day. Let's start exploring movement as a privilege to have this body and a chance to have fun.
