We read much about our DNA, genes, family history, disease pron, etc. Well that was then this is now. How about taking a few moments to look  at those features you have inherited and ask what is their strength?
I've looked at my family and how they cope with life, their life styles. I did the opposite..
Since there is history in my genes, I believe those issues are directly related to HOW my family and ancestors reacted to stress, how they coped, what their diet consisted of. Then I chose different things, especially in the ways to cope with stress. Stress is Universal, everyone, every creature has stress. So how to deal with that and turn my thinking around?
It's hard
to see the body we have as the ultimate gift. The ultimate
manifestation of our dreams and desires. The perfect vehicle to bring
our spirit more fully here AND IT IS.

What's wonderful about that body!
Maybe it's strong and resistant to illness?
Maybe it can handle tons of energy?
Maybe it's sensitive to energy in a way that can benefit self and others?
Maybe it's beautiful?
Maybe it makes wonderful babies?
Maybe it contains creative information to help me produce amazing works of art?
Maybe it's warm and social and loving?
Maybe it contains vast amounts of alchemical, magical miracles!!

When I started to look at my genetic inheritance as a gift, to
enjoy my physical manifestation. I can make peace with the "troubles"
that come with it.
IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW WE CHOOSE TO FRAME OUR STORY.
So
maybe next time you find yourself struggling with that body, sit down
and ask yourself what's wonderful about it. What makes it special and
how does it help you bring more of the true spirit of you into form?

Even the troubles can be gifts when seen in a different light
