Recently my Work Workout Buddies tried out the YouTube video, “Yoga for Core (and Booty!)” by Yoga with Adriene.  In addition to (you guessed it, working our booties), Adriene mentioned the concept of “Body Appreciation Day” or “B.A.D.”

What a beautiful concept, be happy with yourself.  Be happy with how you have been made.  How wonderfully you have been crafted.

As we prepare ourselves for the onslaught of Holiday feasts, remember to forgive yourself.  Appreciate who you are.

None other than the Holy Bible endorses the concept of Body Appreciation.

“I praise you, for I am fearfully (i.e.  ‘with great reference’) and wonderfully made.
    Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.”  (Psalm 139:14)

Indeed, you are beautiful.  Appreciate yourself.  Give yourself a pass.  Be thankful for all your are, because you are wonderfully made.
