Adding the AND to Gratitude

I love the word AND. I can be grateful that I'm ok AND figure out how to recover fully from long haulers. My client yesterday can be grateful that she can still work and get around AND figure out her shoulder thing so she is not in pain every day, all day long. I can love my job AND look forward to my vacation. What if one doesn't cancel out the other?

When it comes to self-care, you can wait for a time when you are not as busy or have more cash flow, or just ...later. You might have the banter in your head that your hip pain isn't that bad. I'll add the yet...cuz yet is sneaky and doesn't have an expiration date.

Pain is the body asking for attention and if ignored, that chatty hip will just get chattier. aka Pain and tightness become the norm. Taking time for yourself, adding that self-care routine can be tricky on the front end AND your body will be grateful aka quiet as it moves you through your world with ease and grace. You might be busy, sooo busy, and a 90-minute class is a long time in your world AND you put it on your schedule because when your body is happy, and you have that connected-to-self kind of glow, everything else falls into place. You can do the stretch of the week AND get started on the spring clean-up in your flower bed. You get to bloom...

 Enjoy the Stretch of the Week!  

Fascia is the Way!
