Creating Congruence Daily Tip: Str-e-e-e-e-tch

For the next few months I am listing small, daily actions you can take to create more balance in your body, mind, and spirit. If one resonates with you, incorporate it. 

Day Twenty-seven

Add a little more stretching throughout your day.
When you first wake up try a few simple stretches—anything your remember from grade school—while still in bed or before you begin your day. Hug your knees into your chest, gently twist each side, and clasp your hands behind your back to open up your chest area. Do some gentle side bends and gentle hamstring stretch. This few minutes of stretching can open your whole day to new ideas.

Also, consider doing a few stretches for your hamstrings, neck, and shoulders, and hips before bed. Sitting in a chair or on the side of your bed, place your right ankle on your left thigh.Gently lean forward and breathe for a few minutes allowing the hip to release. Do this on the other side. Teaching your muscles to relax can improve the quality of your sleep.

Just a few minutes...

A congruent life feels vibrant and full of infinite possibilities where your body, mind, and spirit feel in sync.  Like a personal trainer for the physical body, I help individuals train the mind toward positive focus and deliberate creation.
