Every morning as soon as you wake up, stretch.  Make it a wide juicy stretch with sounds and a big smile.  Then thank your body for bringing you another day full of possibilities adventures and enjoyment.

2.        The Touch.

Touch your cheeks your shoulders, your tummy or any parts you choose.  Acknowledge them for the work that they have done for you.  Be specific.  Example: "Thank you hands for writing, washing dishes, helping with yoga poses, hugging, and bringing my favorite health bar to my mouth!" 

3.       The Song.

When you step into the shower cover your body with some delicious soap and sing a little song of joy and praise.  Go ahead and invent your own melody.  Have fun!

4.        The Beauty Treat.

Pour some wonderfully silky lotion on your loyal servant....your body and give it a gentle healing massage.

5.       The Taste.
