  • Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.

  • I've had a realization lately that my body and our bodies really are going to change regularly.

  • That's normal.

  • This starts on day one of the human experience, even for the traits that people think of as fixed.

  • Have you ever seen a baby born with one eye color that morphs into something else?

  • Our hair, our skin, our weight, our muscle mass,

  • the way our voices sound, all of these things and more will change over our lifetimes.

  • And that's okay.

  • You're going to look and feel different at 20 than you did at 10,

  • different at 50 than you did at 40, different at 80 than you did at 70.

  • And there's acceptance required here.

  • As we age,

  • we need to do what our bodies are capable of in the given moment without shaming ourselves.

  • That, oh, I can't lift as heavy or run as fast as I used to.

  • And something remarkable and beautiful is that it's never too late to see the benefits of movement.
