We all know that exercise is a good thing, right? And
oftentimes when we think of exercise we think about the gym, or something on
the strenuous side, though what about just a little more motion? Instead of beating ourselves up for not exercising on a
consistent basis (speaking for myself here), what if we made a pledge to start
by doing a few things throughout the day to get our bodies moving? Instead of
finding a parking space right up front, maybe park a little farther out. Take
the stairs instead of the elevator, and so on. If these aren’t doable for you,
then what about taking a moment here and there to stretch? I know that I really
have to stay conscious of giving myself a break from the computer throughout
the day. If I don’t my body definitely suffers and I end the day in hunch over
knots (fun!).
This week’s forecast states that now is the time to
instill some good body moving habits. Whether you take on a new exercise plan,
increase your current method of exercise, or get moving after a period of
inactivity, just do whatever feels enjoyable and don’t overdo. Remember, this
is for your well-being and what feels right for you. This is not about
competition, or exercising because the media says you have to look a certain
way. It’s all about you feeling
better being you.
With Love.

Weekly Forecast
This is a time for
more physical activity. Increasing activity through movement helps calm the
overactive mind. Movement releases tension that accumulates when the body is
stagnant and the mind is active. It does not matter the method of movement one
chooses. It is simply beneficial that one move.

Featured Question:
Q: Is this need to
calm the mind through movement particularly important this week? If so, why?
A. The energy of all things is cyclical and
ebbs and flows. Now is a time of flow. This energy of flow is gentle in its
current, yet it is useful in that it allows one to balance the mind with the increased
physical activity in a subtle, less challenging way. This makes an easier
transition into forming new habits. A consistent habit of using movement to calm
the mind brings balance to energetic flow and deters the cycle of unbridled
activity followed by exhaustion. Due to the gentle nature of this energetic
flow, it is a useful period to create the habits that support this balance.
Doing so with lead to an overall more peaceful existence.
