The power of positive energy can heal, however for most women that power is lost somewhere between the gray hairs and the new wrinkles that appear seemingly daily.

As today's women look in the mirror, many times they tend to find more things to criticize rather than to find flawless. The media trends try to sell things to inject to remove wrinkles, show trendy fashions in size 2, and advertise hundreds of products to loose weight, change hair color, and remove hair with a laser beam. As woman, we forget that our bodies just the way they are something to be celebrated. The female body is a temple. Temples come in various shapes and sizes and every single temple is beautiful in its own right.

Here are some ways to ensure that you have a happy body everyday. One that is honored and not just some vehicle you want to trade in , but a fine tuned instrument that revs up its engine every time your eyes meet their own reflection in the mirror.

Remember your body is your vehicle to drive to your dreams. It moves you each and every day from place to place. It nurtures those around you that you love.

Count the blessings in your life. You may find that they are far more than any blemish you see in the mirror.

Exercise your body in some way every day. Make it an adventure rather than a chore. A healthy strong body enhances your sensation of being alive. This does not mean necessarily to loose weight. It is about exercise that energizes you.

Every time you stop to look deep into the mirror, tell yourself life is too short to waste on worrying about wrinkles or that new gray hair.

Nourish not only your body, but your soul as well. Every vehicle needs fuel to run properly. Eating healthy can fuel both your body and your soul.

You are a beautiful, vivacious, strong creation that can go out into the world and create a revolution. A revolution full of positive energy. Walk proud, sway those hips, and reveal in the fact that you are a woman. A woman with honor and dignity.

Find your passion. Some people just know what their passion is. If you are one of those who still have no idea what you want to be when you grow up so to speak, then go out into the world and create your own destiny. Try something new every week until you discover what you are passionate about, then stick with it.

In the words of Oprah "Stay true to who you are. Work from your heart." In everything that you do show the inner beauty that makes you so very special and show off that unique gift that you have - you.

Remember, count your blessings, become connected with your soul and dreams, and celebrate the simple fact that you are a woman - a goddess. Don't waste precious energy of searching out your blemishes and flaws, celebrate them. They make you the person that you are.
