Hold your body and repeat after me

I am so sorry body

I know it's never a good excuse to have rejected you for so long

I was taught to, I see that now

It was never personal, even though I know it seems and feels that way

It was "normal" as sad as that is to admit it

Whether I learned it from my mom or dad, siblings, school, religion or society

It was not okay

And I am taking responsibility now

instead of blaming others for teaching me this

instead of blaming others for not showing me a better way

I see I didn't have to follow it and I did

I see the loving way now

and I choose love and appreciation

Body I love you so much

I love everything you have done for me and carried for me

Holy hell, If I really took the time to see all you have done for me, I fear I would feel shame

Shame for all the times I hated you, blamed you, punished you and deprived you

All the times I rejected you and tried to hide you

All the times I tried to change you and withheld love

Body I am so sorry

I know you dont want me to feel shame because its heavy for you too

And I know its not out of love to numb and suppress these feelings

So I am willing to feel these now and breathe them out with you

I am willing to release these and ask you to let them go from our body as I let them go from my mind and emotions

I see and appreciate everything you have done for me

I am sorry I didn't see it and acknowledge it sooner

I choose to now

because you are the one I'm with daily, more than anyone else

And I want you to know and feel how much I love you

I wish I would have done it sooner

I am sorry again

I love you and from this moment forward I will show you

**ADD ANYTHING ELSE HERE THAT YOU NEED TO SAY TO YOUR BODY

*Do this today, honestly do this every day
Earn your bodies trust back and stop blaming your body
Your body deserves it and will be more willing to work with you so you can trust your body again as well.

Love,
