Day 54.

Today we are working back down the body, focusing on the inner world. Inner structure, inner system, whatever you want to call it.

On day 52, we focused on the top of the head. Yesterday, the blood circulating through the entire system. Today, we move down to the throat, and the heart. The lungs, the rib cage, tomorrow we will work with the gut. Guts? Either way, what most people think of the stomach area, even though the stomach is much higher up.

So today, let us focus on the heart. The lungs, the organs in your chest.

You can google it, if you’d like. All the organs in your chest. Include your throat and neck, all the way up from let’s say the bottom of your sternum (the bony structure holding your rib cage together) all the way up to the bottom of your nose (the cartilidge between your nostrils).

Let’s not think too hard about this. Your journaling prompt is to express gratitude for everything under your skin and contained within your physical structure. You can include your skin, if you would like. And your hair, and your nails. Include your arms, wrists, hands, fingers today.

Tomorrow we will include the toes.

Your skin is an organ unto itself. We can dedicate an entire day to expressing gratitude for the skin, and we will eventually. So if you want to include it today in your journaling, you can.

I am not going to go into detail today. You can do that yourself. What are all the parts of your system that you can express gratitude to today in this section of the body – midback, midtorso all the way up to the bottom 1/3 of your head?

Here is a hint: there is a lot to be grateful for within you. Especially here.

Have fun today!
