good mental health starts with our ability to see value in places where other people aren't even looking. now through the end of the year, i'm challenging myself to find something new to appreciate every week.
today is a cautionary tale.
appreciate your knees and what they do for you, literally thousands of times a day.
take care of your knees.
because you're going to need them in the future.
if you don't believe me, try these exercises.
stand up and take 10 steps without bending your knees.
then pick something up off the ground without bending your knees.
then sit on the ground and get up without bending your knees.
how was that for you?
our knees are remarkable inventions, as is most of our body.
maybe ear hair and ear lobes meant something to a different generation???
I could easily fill the rest of the year's posts by focusing on a different body part each week.
nobody ever thinks about the significance of peeing and pooping until they can't.
or what life would look like with one less finger knuckle.
or how tedious life would be if we had to remind ourselves to breathe, blink and sweat.
think of your knees as the gateway to body appreciation.
because even if it's not what it used to be, your body still does amazing things every moment.
