"How ca...What a difference a few letters make. "How can you love your body if you don't feel loved". WOW,what of a question? I believe strongly that love is a verb. Love is what you do and are willing to do for someone or something, love is not a feeling. <BR/><BR/>With every action there is a reaction (I'm not sure if always opposite). When I am conscious of someone love for me I feel grateful, safe, happy, and loving. So love exchanged, whether received or expressed, causes feeling especially when the giver and receiver are conscious of it. So I do feel love but not with every exchange.<BR/><BR/>"How can you love your body?"...You love your body when you take care of your body. You can love your body by feeding it, bathing it, dressing it, providing shelter for it. When you love your body it may cause feelings of gratitude, pride, and confidence. You can love your body and still harm your body, consciously or subconsciously. You can go days without sleep (subconsciously) or you can cut my wrist (consciously) but when you eat you are loving your body.<BR/><BR/>"How can you love your body when you don't feel loved?"... Loving our body is a an innate reflex. When a baby comes into this world they cry when their body needs something. They don't have to learn to cry, they have to learn the the connection between crying and getting their needs meet; they have to cry to let someone know that they need love. When the baby learns that crying gets their needs meet they are able to love their body. They consciously do something so that their body is taken care of.<BR/><BR/>Our bodies learn to love themselves with or without feeling loved. We love our bodies innately and then learn to love are bodies independent of others help as we mature. Love is a reflex, but love is also a skill that gets developed as we learn what are bodies need. A five year old can learn to make a sandwich a twenty year old can learn to cook a nutritious and balanced meal.<BR/><BR/>"How can we love our bodies when we don't feel loved?" Easily. We come into this world loving our bodies. What is more difficult is maintaining hate for our bodies. Because of hardships some people have feeling of hate fro their body, but to hate your body requires discipline. You must train yourself and your body to kill your self love reflex. Even people with self destructive tendency tend to do things that feel good to their bodies. A drug addict gets high and it damages their body, but it also pleasure the body. They may ignore their needs more, but they still have a reflex to eat and sleep, just not as much.<BR/><BR/>"How can you love your body when you don't feel loved."<BR/>1. Love is an action not always felt<BR/>2. The body innately loves itself<BR/>3. Love is a reflex of your body & soul<BR/>4. Even when hate is present the love reflex still exist.<BR/><BR/>Great Post!
