You know you exist because you can feel things and do things, just like when you play with your favorite toy.
Imagine you're playing with a ball. You kick it, and it rolls away. That means you did something, and the ball responded. If you couldn’t feel your legs moving or see the ball go, you might wonder if you were really there. But since you kicked it and it moved, that shows you exist, just like when you press a button on your toy and it lights up.
How Your Body Helps You Know
What Happens If You Can’t Feel Anything?
Sometimes, people can't feel things because of a sickness or something else. But if you can feel, see, hear, or move, even if it's just a little bit, that means you are there, and you exist.
So every time you play, eat, or even take a nap, remember: your body is telling you the same thing, you exist! You know you exist because you can feel things and do things, just like when you play with your favorite toy.
