The Work IN to move out of stress, tension & anxiety

Mobility - building body faith and balance

Hypervigilance in the body, whether from chronic pain or previous injury or our beliefs about our health can break our faith in our body and its capabilities. Mobility is the pathway back to body faith and freedom of movement. Basically it’s reconnecting with all of the things we took for granted when we were younger. Strength, stamina, balance and coordination. That’s our work IN today we’re looking at using mobility to stage our own personal body faith revival. It’s time to stop working out and start working IN.

When it hurts to move something has to change

One of the biggest myths about movement is that if it hurts you shouldn’t do it.  And if we’re talking about an acute injury like a broken arm or torn acl then yes that’s true. In the acute phase of an injury we need to hit pause. But what if the source of our pain isn’t known, or the treatment isn’t knowable. I’m talking about the kind of chronic pain that our medical professionals can’t find a reason for or have no cure. That’s our work IN today. We’re discussing the connection between mobility and chronic pain and how we can use movement to change our experience in the body. It’s time to stop working out and start working IN.

Racing the mind to sleep: Mastering the art of recovery

Racing thoughts, rumination, wired and tired. All of these are top complaints about sleep disturbances. Have you been there? Physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted and yet incapable of shutting down the racing thoughts in order to get to sleep. It’s not your fault but it is within your control. And that’s our Work IN today. We’re going to explore top down and bottom up tools to win the race to sleep and master the art of recovery.  Sleep is the ultimate tool for recovery. Built into every single day, sleep is when every system in the body repairs and resets itself for the next day. But it is nearly impossible to get to sleep by simply telling yourself to go to sleep. In fact in many cases that thought alone is guaranteed to keep you awake.  What if the way our body and mind is responding to our day is exactly right and makes complete sense? What if instead of fighting it we made a subtle shift to work with the body. Instead of stressing ourselves out about getting to sleep we focused on mastering recovery.  It’s time to stop working out and start working IN.
