CELEBRATING MY FEET TODAY!







Last night I dreamed I was in hospital and about to have my feet amputated. What a bad dream!  So I woke up and went for a long jog and even opted to use the furthest parking from my office, just so I could optimally use my feet.


This may have been just a silly dream but it reminded me to pay attention and celebrate every part of my body because each one is intricately placed to perform a valuable function.

Did you know that a quarter of the body’s bones is in the feet? There are a whooping 52 bones in each foot! This is why they easily carry your body weight while you do life. It is said that feet endure three times more pressure when running.

Sadly, it has been proven that women suffer more foot problems than men. This is mostly due to wearing uncomfortable shoes. Poor feet!

Thanks to this dream, I’m celebrating my feet today. I’m taking them walking, which by the way, is the best exercise for them and improves general health. I also plan to pamper them with a nice massage after at the end of the day.

When last did you pay attention to your body and taken time to celebrate each part of it?

  1. Today I saw someone on a wheelchair with no legs at all, the exact thought came to my mind, celebrate your body and be grateful it is functioning properly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    1. Indeed. Even an armpit is important. Get someone to tickle it and you'll be reminded just how much laughter it can bring you : )
