Being grateful

Having gratitude for all things is a great way to living better. If you thank your body for all the amazing things it does on a daily basis, you will want to treat yourself better. Just think of all the unhealthy substances we put into our bodies, and it still functions. Late night partying and drinking, eating fast food, finishing off a bag of chips, smoking, not exercising, ect. Our hearts still beat, our lungs don't forget to breathe, our skin protects us from harmful bacteria. Let's all take a few minutes each day thanking or bodies for never failing us. Plus our bodies warn us if we are doing something wrong by making us sick, or feeling tired to rest.
Next time you want to treat your body with harmful things, thank it and eat an apple or go for a walk!
