Meditation: Cultivating Self Love

Cultivating Self-Love
1. Love – Acknowledge that you deserve health and happiness, and that you’re worth the effort it takes to make a positive change. Remind yourself how the specific change you are making supports for your wellbeing.
2. Compassion. Without self-judgment, recognize how the habit you are trying to change creates suffering and stress (including our habit of being hard on yourself).Then acknowledge your desire to be free from this suffering.
3. Joy. Give yourself credit for and celebrate, any positive actions you have taken to support yourself in this change. Also add gratitude for any support you have received from your family and friends.
4. Equanimity .If you are feeling bad about a recent setback, remind yourself that mistakes are only human, and they are an important part of the path of change. Instead of berating yourself focus on your larger goal, to be happy, healthy and free from suffering.

Developing a dynamic warm-up program is a smart decision for virtually any workout or sports activity, whether you compete in football, soccer, surfing or any other sport. Not only can a dynamic warm-up program help reduce the risk of injuries to the athletes, but even everyday fitness, and weekend warriors need to use the this type of stretching. If you’re not an athlete you need to wake up muscles and stretch in a dynamic fashion too.

Example: 3-5 minutes of dynamic stretching – active exercises like warrior lunges and bow and arrow pose, try to mimic natural movements that increase elasticity mobility.

Walking Toe Touch
For Glutes and Hamstrings.

While stepping forward go down and touch your toe. Try to keep a straight line from head through the ankle. Do not compensate by twisting the body. This will take the stress off the hamstring AND glutes, which is where we want it.
