“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” Whether you are religious or not, this statement has special meaning for everyone because we all struggle with the need to change ourselves. And, that includes how we look and feel. While we can’t change everything that impacts us, we can make changes to ourselves like the shape of our bodies. All it takes is focus and commitment.
Honoring Your Body
Your body is your temple. It means that it is a place you should hold in high esteem. While we obviously don’t want to worship ourselves, we do want to care enough about ourselves to take care of our bodies so we can enjoy a long and happy life. 
There are many ways you can honor your body. The most important way is by eating healthy and opting to avoid taking in large portions and reducing our sugar, fat, alcohol, and caffeine intake. Another way is to exercise regularly and continue to move throughout the day. The worst thing we can do to our bodies is to have a sedentary lifestyle because it doesn’t give our body, including muscles, the movement necessary to perform well. There is a saying that if you don’t use it, you lose it, and that goes with flexibility, balance, stamina, and coordination. Those all go away after just a few months of sitting all day and night.
Move and Stay Positive

Lastly, it’s important to stay positive in the face of all the roadblocks and mishaps that life throws at us. There is stress on a near daily basis and unexpected things that can go wrong. Rather than sweat the small stuff, focus on the small and large gains that you make by changing your lifestyle for the healthier.
