Managing everyone’s emotions Are you the peacekeeper? Are you the one who comes to the rescue when someone is upset? Do you notice how everyone else is feeling and somehow feel that it’s your job to fix it or make things better? Do you take on someone else’s emotions as your own? Have you tendedContinue reading “Break Your Patterns Challenge: Day 1”

Break Your Patterns Challenge
When I saw that Insight Timer was hosting another challenge I thought, Ok, cool. Let’s see what they’ve come up with this time. I’ve never hit the “JOIN” button so quickly. How many times have we asked ourselves, “Why do I keep doing this?” That’s the question Insight Timer posed in the opening post. HowContinue reading “Break Your Patterns Challenge”
500
Today marks 500 consecutive days of meditation. Holy cow. I remember being excited about one full year . . . but 500 days???? I never thought I’d stick with meditation this long. Has it been 100% blissful? No. Has each meditation been wonderful? Absolutely not. There have been a few that ended with me feelingContinue reading “500”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 7
Today Damian walked us through Day 7 of our challenge and it put everything we’ve been doing this past week into practice. A little strength. Some stretching. A bit of balance. A touch of coordination. And, of course, cardio. It took less than 10 minutes. The challenge is complete. But our practice doesn’t have toContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 7”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 6
A little late in the day to be posting, I know, but we just had one of those busy, busy days that kept us running. And thinking. And then today’s session made me think some more. 🙃 As Damian points out, however, challenging our brains is a good thing. Another key to longevity and agingContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 6”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 5
Day 5 is all about balance. And it was more challenging than I thought it would be! Today Damian leads us through a few sequences that encourage whole-body activation. Arms. Shoulders. Legs. Back. Abs. Feet and ankles. Let’s not forget the brain – or to breathe! I caught myself holding my breath a few timesContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 5”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 4
Short and sweet but impactful! These kinds of activities are the ones I love to do: whole body exercises. Something that engages your entire body all at once. Today Damian leads us through a quick cardio/strength sequence that gets the heart rate up a bit and engages different areas of the body simultaneously. Today’s exercisesContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 4”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 3
Wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for Day 3! Very nice. Today we focus on hip and lower back stiffness. Gentle stretching. Opening the hips and elongating the back. Giving the soles of our feet a little love too. Damian leads us through some soft exercises that really helped me stretch out my hips and ease some tenderness in myContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 3”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 2
Whew! That was kinda tough! I feel energized though! It’s amazing what just a few minutes will do to wake things up in the morning. Damian leads us through “The Four Facing Flow” routine today and this sequence kept my entire body engaged – and really challenged my balance! This one was definitely more difficultContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge: Day 2”
The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge
I was feeling a bit blah today – the weather the past few days, tired from work, irritated by all the little annoying chores I needed to do once I got home and prickly that I might not be able to do a few things that I really wanted to do. I’m glad I gotContinue reading “The Movement for Longevity Video Challenge”
