She Has An Amazing Body
“She has an amazing body.” Do you and your friends ever say something like that as you look at the magazines in a grocery store, or while you are discussing one of the girls in your school. Maybe that is just something that I remember from my high school days, what with my being a guy and everything. The point is that teen girls often focus on outer appearances. Then they tend to compare their worst traits with another girl’s best. It is very damaging and we have written about that before.
Today I wanted to focus on how amazing YOUR body is, regardless of its shape and size. Your body is doing amazing things every second and understanding how amazing your body is could help you appreciate the gift of your body more.
Your Brain
Your brain is the master control center for everything that is going on in your body. Think about this. You breathe, but you don’t have to think about it. Your heart beats, but you don’t have to think about it. Your body processes the foods that you eat, takes out what it needs and passes along the rest, but you don’t have to think about it. All of that is going on in your body and the brain is making it all happen.
Not to mention (even though I am going to mention it right here) the fact that your brain is taking in all of the information that your senses are taking in, processing it, and comparing it to all of your past experiences to give it meaning. You don’t have to think about any of that! Your brain just works.
Scientists have not been able to manufacture anything that comes close to what the brain can do.
Your brain can process hundreds of millions of bits of information every second. Computers can only do a fraction of the processing that the human brain can. It would take rooms full of the most powerful computers to have the equivalent processing power of the brain. Your brain is truly amazing.
Your Eyes
When you see something, what are your eyes doing? They are receiving waves of light, turning them into impulses that your brain can use to make pictures. You may ask yourself, “Are you serious?” I am. Have you ever stopped to think how amazing that is? Everything around you that is colorful and beautiful, is reflecting light waves into your eyes and your eyes and brain work together to convert it into an image that you perceive in your mind. It is mind boggling.
Other Parts Of Your Body
Your ears do the same thing as your eyes, except that they are made to pick up sound waves. Your ears funnel these waves to your brain and you hear sound. The voices of those we care about and the music that we love to listen to come through to us as sound waves and are converted, by our amazing brain, into what we perceive as sound.
There are countless things that make your body simply amazing. The next time that you are tempted to compare how the outside of your body looks with some fake, airbrushed image in a magazine, think of how amazing your body is.
