    I’m in and paying particular attention to:

    To give my body the things that it needs to do its work well: plenty of water, ample movement, stretches, rest, and good nutrition, and to limit or eliminate the things that do not nurture my body.

    I’m in!!

    To love my body and my self today. I do not have to weigh ten pounds less, have longer hair, or to have my degree in my hand to have worth. I have worth just as I am, and I embrace that power.

    I pledge all of these, but especially to give my body the things that it needs to do its work well: plenty of water, ample movement, stretches, rest, and good nutrition, and to limit or eliminate the things that do not nurture my body.

    Thanks for this! I’m sending it on.

    I pledge!

    especially this part….
    “To give my body the things that it needs to do its work well: plenty of water, ample movement, stretches, rest, and good nutrition, and to limit or eliminate the things that do not nurture my body. ”
    Being in college can really make you put these things way down low on the priority list.

    This is the part of the pledge that I will have to work hardest on, and then the rest will follow:
    To change the inner-monologue in my head to one that sees possibility not problems, potential not shortcomings, blessings not imperfections.
    I am recently realizing how very hard on myself I am! I pledge!

  16. Michelle

    I pledge!! I am a sexy, smart and crazy goddess of a woman!!! I pledge to embrace and flaunt every single one of my beautiful flaws. I know how wonderful I am and I pledge to let everyone else know it too.

    This is something I’ve been working on for a while now, but I still have room for improvement….

    To give my body the things that it needs to do its work well: plenty of water, ample movement, stretches, rest, and good nutrition, and to limit or eliminate the things that do not nurture my body.

  18. Roslynn

    Sign me up too!!! I pledge all of the above, paying special attention to the following:

    To be the primary source of my confidence. I will not rely on or wait for others to define my worth.

    IM IN!! this is my favorite part:
    To stop berating my body and to begin celebrating the vessel that I have been given. I will remember the amazing things my body has given me: the ability to experience the world with a breadth of senses, the ability to perceive and express love, the ability to comfort and soothe, and the ability to fight, provide, and care for humanity.
    I need to thank my body for all the things I have made it through!!!!
    This is so beautiful I actually printed it out and put it on the wall beside my bed! Ive been thinking about it and Im going to write my own when I get time so it can be more personalized. 🙂 what a wonderful concept/idea.

    Sign me up- this will be a great challenge. These will be my greatest challenge: To change that monologue in my head and To let envy dissipate and allow admiration to be a source of compassion by offering compliments to others. Complimenting others is sometimes harder for me to do than criticizing others, because I feel bad about myself… which is not a generative way to handle those feelings. I pledge to love and respect myself and my soul!
