A poem, by me. 🙂 As SAD kicks in, I feel some of us need a push to look after ourselves. So here is my nerdy physio-inspired poem 😆
"I want to feel better
But I can't find the time
To find time for myself".is my usual line
We're not motivated, to look after the "me's"
I'll tell you my secret, its called 'pilates'.
And support from friends, but you must help yourself.
Inside you have strength, you have inner wealth..
So look after your body, eat fibre, drink plenty.
Look after your mind, breathe deep, find your centre.
Fuel, headspace, and now time for your core...
Activating your core helps your body do more!
Improve balance and proprioception!
Improve movement and co-ordination!
This is "you time", no expectation.
Take a deep breath, feel your expanding ribcage.
Let your deep abdominal muscles engage.
Relax those shoulders, let your head feel light.
As you tuck your chin and fly like a kite!
Refine balance and posture, stand tall and be proud.
"Self care helps me feel good", shout it out loud!
To be lifted in posture, spirit, and more
All you need to begin is a mat, and the floor!
Reduce musculoskeletal injury or pain
Try some pilates, you've so much to gain!
And if you need reassurance, or a helping hand,
I'll be there to guide you, with my Theraband 😉
