If we can direct our attention toward these neglected areas of ourselves, we bring energy, presence, and space there as well. By connecting instead to the good things this body part brings you, you may be able to notice the miraculous work it does. After all, it is still there supporting you - even when you think it is not enough.

If you let go of resistance and linger in what is, you increase your capacity to hold it. This moment won’t be here forever, the only constant is change, and you can make it through.
