A simple metaphor, simply said, but much harder to put into practice.

What I take away from this video is no just to put the glass down, but to keep practicing the mental and emotional habit of putting the glass down.

It will be easy some days and much harder during others to put that glass down. But it’s all part of the practice of putting it down, and letting go.

When you think of grabbing a drink what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

A coffee?
A tea?
Maybe a beer?
A water?

For most of us water isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.

But making the conscious decision to have more water can help you feel more focused, energetic with less aches and pains for your muscles and joints.

Yes, it takes effort for most!

Try grabbing a glass of water next time you think of grabbing a coffee.

And see how you feel!

I’ve been trying for weeks, no months now to work on some stretching home care videos to share with my clients and all of you…but simply I’m unable to work through the glitches with my old, and it the past trusty Canon camera. So, I guess I just convinced myself it’s time to upgrade and try something new…

What do you use to take your videos for social media?

Give me your advice!

When there is a winter vortex where you live and you still have to go outside to do your business!

Covering up and wearing appropriate outdoor weather ensemble can help keep your muscles from stiffening up, your joints from aching and keeping the range of motion in joints from reducing due to the harsh outdoor elements.

When our muscles get cold they contract and it takes more effort to complete tasks then when the muscle stays warm.

So, what ever your winter activity may be; shovelling snow, a dog walk, a winter hike, a winter run… make sure to know what the weather is like to know what to wear to best keep your body functioning to its optimal.

It’s my fist ever finished knitted project!
No, it’s not the hat!
It’s the mismatched wool scarf!

I’ve knitted on and off for years, but never actually finished anything, until now!

It’s far from perfect, but it’s 💯 % perfect for me.

Have you ever finished knitting anything?
