12 Things You Can Learn From A Two-Year Old

Saturday, 8 August 2009

If you ask any child about the adults around them
they'd probably say we're a little wacky and seem to be stressed out a lot of the time. Here are a few simple things they can teach us...

1. Nap when you're tired.

2. Eat when you're hungry.

3. Don't starve yourself
it makes you tired and cranky. Eat little bits often to keep fueled up.

4. Stubbornly refuse to eat even one more bite once you're full. If you're full after a few bites
gleefully throw the rest away.

5. Leave the table with a satisfied
full belly and an eagerness to dive back into your delicious life.

6. Be picky and only eat foods you love. If it doesn't taste great to you
clamp those lips shut and refuse to eat until something better is found.

7. Be in awe over how amazing and wonderful your body is. Notice how it moves
hugs
plays
loves
heals
and enjoys life.

8. Run
jump
skip
play. Move your body because it's so much fun and it feels good. Be amazed at all the incredible physical things your body can do.

9. Wear clothes that are comfy and that make you feel good.

10. Appreciate the people around you for who they are rather than for how they look.

11. Hang out with fun
friendly people and stay away from mean
critical ones.

12. Feel great about yourself because
well
why wouldn't you?

If you don't have a two-year old around right now
seek one out and watch them for a day. Their simple enjoyment of life
and their absolute respect for their own bodies is something to aspire to.
