Today’s Tip of the Day!

Control what you can control. And, forget about the rest. 

These are crazy times. The craziest of it all is that no one really knows anything. So much is unknown, and the stuff we think “we know” changes everyday.

You will literally drive yourself crazy.

Make a list. What can I control today? This week? This next month?

Write it down. Focus on that. 

It will take a load off your shoulders and it will make you a helluva lot happier. 

Let us know if you need help with anything. 

Day 3 of Chair Mobility.

We have an upper body stretch today that feels FANTASTIC.

It will stretch out your lats, arms, and give your thoracic spine extension (super important if you are slouching).

Give it a try.

Takes about a minute. Don’t stop doing the other 2 stretches everyday too.

They will make a big difference.

So many are working from home right now. Sitting and typing for hours at a time. How do combat this to fix our posture and get into better positions?

Try this simple tip!

If you continue to sit in the bad positions, it will take a toll on your body. You may not feel the effects just yet. But, the compound effect of shoulder breathing paired with slouching will wreak havoc on your shoulders and low back.

Got a video for all of you working at home. Try this stretch. 

With all the sitting, your low backs are going to be achy, your shoulders will roll forward (slouch), and your glutes will literally fall asleep. All not good! 

Try this!

As we go here, there are bound to be days where you aren’t feeling quite as great & positive. 

Even for people who have adjusted well and are making the best of this situation, there will be days where your energy is zapped and you feel like SHIT!

I started out this morning with that negative head trash this morning. Yesterday was my Jace’s birthday. We had family & friends do a little drive by parade to wish him happy birthday. It was great — it was a sliver of normal. 

After a bad night sleep with kiddos, I woke up down. 

What can we do to get back on track? Check below. 

Hope this helps!

1. Start with the day with something positive or something you’re grateful for. Seems trivial, but can be a huge shift in your mood.
2. Stretch! You’re probably a lot more sedentary than you usually are. Stretching will helps with aches & pains that being sedentary causes.
3. Finish a task. Cross stuff off your checklist. Bonus points if it’s something you’ve been putting off!

Have a great day & GET OUTSIDE!!!!
