Have you sat down and actually took a minute to take stock of how you're feeling today? It is something I rarely do until I sprawl out in bed... Kathryn Sansone has a few things she does that helps her recognize how she's feeling and I thought they were a great idea! I know I will start to implement them so I thought I would share...
"Our bodies are terrific barometers for how we are feeling. I try to listen to my body, and when something hurts, I know something is up. The next time you sense that negative feelings are getting in your way, try this simple exercise:
1) Stand still or sit down
2) Do a quick scan of your body
3) Recognize any strain or tension you feel.
4) Focus on that area
5) Take a deep breath, keeping that area in mind
6) Exhale
7) Repeat until you feel the tension ebb or disappear
I love that exercise!!!
Today I added 32 min to my cardio total (185) and more important than that.... I ran... 6 whole entire minutes at one time!!!!! WHAT??? Isn't that crazy??? I am so jazzed!!!!
Good for you Angie!!! Instead of that 5K you'll be wanting to run a marathon! I really liked your post....we should always listen to our body! A friend told me a long time ago if we "listen to how our body is feeling," we can stop a lot of anguish before it hits!
