Your body – your best friend! Body Wisdom!

As summer is rapidly approaching and the sun is becoming brighter and warming us up here in Canada,

the calling to be outdoors and play in the sun and have FUN is like a magnet to metal!

After sitting indoors all winter long and not being as active as I could have been, my body is letting me know I require some intention in getting into shape!  

How many of you feel that too?

This is your friendly reminder to “move your body”, and listen to it too.

You see, your body is your very best friend and holds all the wisdom and information you require, FOR YOU, and for your increased health and well-being.   LISTENING to your body means becoming better at understanding the language of your Body’s Wisdom.  

Here is something to consider or ponder.

What if every feeling of tiredness, pain, stiffness, weakness, strength, vitality and energy is your body communicating with you.  

What if you allowed yourself the time to  listen to these requests?  We have been conditioned to stop the discomfort or pain so we can keep on going.  Yet covering up the pain and pushing through, can lead to chronic health challenges down the road.  

Instead of ignoring or covering up the pain, what if we listened 

  and responded to our body’s invitation through it’s communication, and with that connection, you could understand why that pain was showing up? 

When we learn to listen and perhaps allow ourselves time to rest, or stretch, or adjust our eating habits, we take care of the what is causing the problem.  This in turn gives us long term results that corrects the imbalance, rather than simply covering up the symptom.

This is how we gain strength, and true inner health that ripples out into our future of feeling better and better.  

How much health and fun could you have?

Sounds simple, yet we have been trained to “not listen to our body”, by stopping the cold, or suppressing the cough, or no pain no gain, all of that instead of  asking or wondering, what is it the body requires in this moment?  Asking questions brings a new awareness, and better results.  

Is it more rest?  More Fun?  More movement?

Getting started seems to be the hardest part, so to-day this is your moment of Inspiration to take one action, let’s say it’s more fun and movement. 

Allowing yourself the luxury to go out for that hike with your friends, even if … you’re Not in shape. Take it slow, enJoy the journey, and you will most certainly feel the benefits.    Being in nature always gifts us with more energy.  Even if you feel stiff or tired, it’s an energized feeling of your body waking up and getting in shape.   

Oh, one more thing, if your not a hiker, or prefer quiet walks with your dog, fantastic, follow your knowing and you’ll feel the freedom of what works best for you.  

What IS your favorite body movement activity – and how do you feel afterwards?  Perhaps your experience will inspire someone else?

Happy trails to ya,

  1. Apart from riding in the countryside, which is on hold whilst my beautiful little horse recovers from founder, I love walking. I would quite happily walk 20 miles a day! However, time caring for my boy and other commitments means I spend far too much time sitting at my computer or in my car. After 3 years of constant, steady weight loss and eating anything I want without gaining a single ounce, I am now gaining the pounds and feeling the call to get out there in nature!
