Ahead of the curve

What drives you to make yourself better? Do you wait until you have hit a wall or are bored with your work? When do you focus on being healthier? Is it when you suffer an injury or nagging pain stops you from doing the things you love?

Instead of waiting for January 1 to do a total reset, start practicing mindfulness and maintenance everyday.  It is easier to do 10 minutes of body work a day to stay healthy and avoid aches and pains than suffer an injury that will set you back for three months.

Read books or blogs (like this one!) that challenge you.  Focus on not only sharpening your current skills but creating new ones. Life is about learning and progressing everyday.

If you choose to do body maintenance each day for 10 minutes and challenge yourself everyday by reading something new or trying to learn a new skill, by the end of 365 days you will be ahead of your curve. You won’t need a January 1 reset. The New Year will now mean 365 more days of learning and personal growth.

Make it the best day!

Movement

Every bit counts. Standing while watching TV, walking around while you are on a conference call. Drinking a water instead of a soda.  Are you sitting for over 45 minutes? If you are and you can get up and move for two minutes, do it.

Movement promotes blood flow and makes us feel better. Try to not reach for that energy drink when a quick walk will help you just as much.  Find a time that works for you to move. It can be a short walk, a full on workout or any movement!!

Reach for the sky and stretch your body as opposed to reaching for another sugary drink or energy powder.

You body was made to move, take advantage of it!

A little each day

Moving the rock up the hillside takes time.  Small increments of progress. There will be days of bigger movement then others. That rings true for our daily lives.

Some workouts will be better than others. Some days we will get more done. What matters is that we consistently show up and make progress.  Even though that progress might seem small in our daily lives, it is compounded over 365 days.

Show up, be present. Even a few inches of progress a day will keep you on track and get your rock to the mountain top.

Make it the best day!

Whiteboard

A whiteboard can be erased easily. One swipe or two with the eraser. Making it a clean slate again with endless possibilities.

Approach each day with the same mindset.

A car cuts you off on your way to work or you get a nasty email first thing in the morning. Process it, then wipe your slate clean.

Create endless possibilities to draw on your board for the rest of the day.

It’s a new year and time to flourish in your open mindset. The possibilities are limitless.

Make it the best day!

Making waves

How often do we strive to make changes? How often do we sit where we are, being content with what has come along and what lies ahead?

What if, when we got in a pattern of comfort, we challenged ourselves and made some waves?! (Internally via decision-making or externally with our actions)

Humans are creatures of comfort and habit. When something gets comfortable and predictable we like that. All because we know what to expect. The only issue with that is, down the road we look back and think..”hmmmm…I’ve been doing the same thing every day for 5 years…what the heck?!”

Waves can be small, waves can be large. Determine how much you personally want to throw your body around in the pool.

The point of making waves is not causing a disturbance just because and saying “Ha! I made a ruckus and people noticed.”

We want to make waves that push us to be better people. Help us achieve the next step on the ladder to our main goal. Waves are made with and for a purpose.

Make it the best day! (and throw some waves in there 🙂

Changes

There are a lot of changes going on and the first you will see is the new website and logo! With the implementation of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) into the tool box, Performance Movement will be starting down a new path.

We are still focused on giving our clients the best care and treatment possible. However, now we will doing so through FST, a facial stretch modality that helps ease pain and increase performance.

More posts will follow in regards to FST, but the best way to explain it is to experience it! Please contact us if you would like a free session.

FST is a great modality for everyone who wants to feel better and move better. Enjoy the changes and stay tuned, more great things to come!
