Welcome to Day 23 of our Shadow Work Series! Today, we reflect on a powerful question: “How has my body protected me even when I wasn’t listening?” ✨

Let’s be real: your body has been your ride-or-die since day one. She’s been loyally present through heartbreak, sickness, anxiety, and exhaustion—always showing up for you, even when you didn't return the favor.

That heartbeat? It keeps going. Those lungs? Still working hard. That gut instinct? It continues to whisper warnings of “danger,” even when ignored. 👀

And yet, how often have you skipped meals, pushed through pain, silenced her calls for rest, or looked in the mirror with negativity? More times than you might want to admit. But guess what? She STILL carried you. She protected you, fought for you, and never abandoned you.

💥 Here’s the straight talk: Stop treating your body like it’s the problem. She’s not your enemy—she’s your bodyguard. Without her unwavering support, you wouldn’t even be here, engaging in this transformative shadow work.

Take a moment today to pause. Place your hand over your heart. Feel its rhythm. Thank your body out loud. Say:“Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for carrying me when I didn’t carry myself.”

Then, show her some love: feed her nourishing foods, allow her to rest, hydrate her, and move her gently. She deserves celebration, not criticism. 🌹

📝 Journal Prompt: Write down three ways your body has protected you, even when you weren’t listening. Then, write her a love note—express your gratitude, apologize if needed, and promise to listen more closely moving forward.

Remember, your body isn’t broken; it has been your protector all along. Join us for this affirming episode as we cultivate a deeper appreciation for our bodies and their incredible resilience! 💖
