Dit gedicht liet me even stilstaan. Best bijzonder eigenlijk: ons lichaam werkt 24 uur per dag voor ons, zonder vakantie, zonder overuren uit te betalen en zonder te klagen. En toch krijgt het van ons vaak meer kritiek dan complimenten. 😉
In mijn praktijk merk ik hoe vaak mensen worstelen met hun lichaam, terwijl datzelfde lichaam ondertussen elke dag wonderlijk werk verricht.
Te mooi om niet te delen.🥰
Gedicht van Donna Ashworth van ‘I wish I knew’ 📖
I WONDER IF YOU KNOW
I wonder if you know
the work your body has done today
and every day
how much disease it fought
how many times it could have failed but battled on
how many ways it could have broken but did not
I wonder if you know
the work your body has done today
and every day
and each day it has achieved this amazing feat
without your help
your approval
your acceptance
or your kindness
Each day it has soldiered on
regardless of the constant stream of negativity
pulsing its way from your brain to your cells…
not good enough
not attractive enough
not the right shape
Perhaps it’s time to see your body for what is truly is
a mind-blowingly competent machine
a vessel to get your soul to where it needs to be in this life
to let you live.
I wonder if you know
how much better you and your body would be
as a team.
I wonder.
