Gratitude is Good for your HEALTH!

Sometimes when we are dealing with pain or injuries it can be difficult to find any silver linings.  Take a minute for a little body scan and see if you can't find an area that feels good.  Maybe it's your pinky toe?  Wherever it is, give thanks.  Then go back to whatever area of your body is bothering you and instead of yelling at it, feeling sad about it, or calling it mean names, give it thanks.  Yup, you heard me.  Say thank you to the pain.  Well, not exactly to the pain, but thank you to your body for doing it's best in spite of the pain.  It's important to remember that our bodies hear everything (whether we say it out loud or not).  How often have your referred to an aching body part as negatively?

"My stupid back is acting up again", "my knee's being a jerk today", "I wish I could just get a new neck"...

Not only are these actual things I've heard clients say, they're things I myself used to say before my acupuncturist called me out.  Studies have shown that our tissues respond to our internal monologues of anger or resentment the same way they would if someone were calling you stupid, or a jerk, or wishing you could be replaced.  So on today, a day to share gratitude, be nice to your body and always try to remember that it's doing the best that it can.  If you're not already actively working with someone to help alleviate chronic aches and pains, give me a call and let's get you feeling better! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

What my Clients Are Saying

"Robin is a dancer and her understanding of movement is incredible, way better than any trainer I've worked with before. She will point out things about the way you hold yourself that you didn't even know you were doing. Her focus on postural alignment seems to be the key ingredient: start with posture and breath training through very deliberate and specific movements and go from there in whatever direction you wish.  Definitely planning on keeping on this program for the long haul!"
