 SO, ARE YOU READY YET?

Exercise and Stretch

You will feel better!


Have you worked on the list of goals that you laid out for yourself ?

We all have things that we would like to work on to improve ourselves or our lot in life.  Sometimes that can be hard to do.  Therefore, a plan of action is necessary.  For starters, identify those things that really need attention.  Make a list and prioritize according to the most needy.
Next, decide how to go about making a change.  Is this going to cost much or anything at all?  Do I have the mental or physical energy to begin the process? 

If you need to summon the energy to get started, do stretching exercises.
Stretching exercises awakens the mind and the body, as well as allows the muscles to stretch out.  This helps prevent injury when moving the body during simple movement such as walking, bending or flexing.  Stretching also, gets blood flowing to the brain, then circulating throughout the body.

All activity starts in the mind.  If blood is flowing to the brain then, the mind is equipped to do its work, that is, to transmit messages to the body to do its work. The work or task is to develop a plan of action that effects your life to your satisfaction.

Exercise benefits the mind and the body.  Moderate exercise can make you feel refreshed and invigorated.

Stretching is a good way to start exercising. Stretching the muscles help prevent cramping when you move around.  You feel invigorated after stretching. You can stretch anytime anywhere.  This is just a suggested Simple stretch:

Stretch your arms above your head like you are reaching for the sky.  Really reach. Hold that position for a count of 10.

Stretch your arms out on both sides.  Hold for a count of 10.

Next, bend your knees slightly as you bend over to touch your toes.  If you cannot that is fine.  Your leg muscles have not stretched out enough for you to reach your toes, they will.  Hold this for count of 10.  Then slowly straighten up to a standing position.  This is a basic stretch that may get your body awake and the muscles ready for movement.  That invigorating feeling can now be circulated to the mind.  You can now begin to make a plan to work on the things you want to improve or change.  If you are not yet ready for this step, stretch.

Hope this was helpful,
