You can listen to your body’s needs without meeting certain strict requirements on a diet or by meeting a set number of steps per day. Respect your body and be thankful for all that it has done. Focus on the good parts of your body. Connect your mind and body by breathing deeply, focusing on the breath, and listening to your body. Ask what your body needs, and give it to yourself. If you need rest or a snack, then grant that to yourself. Figure out what your body needs to be healthy in the future, such as help at work, or getting back to the gym. Stop living by numbers and honor your body.
