Wellness reminders

If you spend much time with your body at all, you start collecting lots of things to work on—posture cues, breathing cues, relaxation stuff, well at least I have.

In fact, I have so many little things to work on that it overwhelmes me to try and do them all. I end up doing none of them.

So I decided to pick seven and just focus on a different one every day of the week. In time I think they'll become habitual and I can change to seven more.

I printed my reminders on small pieces of paper and then made little holders (anything for a craft project!) for them. I change which reminder is in front every day.

I sewed magnetic tape to the backs of the holders and a little loop at the top. This gives me a lot of flexibility where to put them. Right now I've hung the holders at the kitchen sink, by the bathroom mirror, and by my computer.

I do think these little things should have a name. "Wellminders?" (wellness + reminder) "Wellfirmations?" (Wellness + affirmation) Hmm...not sure. Guess I'll have to work on that.

The path to the future isn't straight.

Although my housekeeping doesn't really testify to this, I like things tidy. Well, I like tidy ideas of the world, like that things could be simply black or white. It's just so satisfying. But I know it's not real life, at least not mine. Which is why, today, when I went to a friend's house to give one of my first ever practice Pilates lessons, the first stop I made was at the community college where I've been teaching English for.ev.er. Yet another semester. Ugh. Yet another round of paperwork to get on the sub list. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. It was as though part of me was moving towards the future and part of me retracing the same old steps. I'd had fantasies of being completely done with that job. I was a fitness instructor now, no looking back! I think any journey is like this, whether it's starting a new career or becoming a healthier person. Maybe you've decided you're going to start eating better. And you do, for a while. Then it's back to doughn...

All I Want for Christmas is Good Posture: a Quiz

The first step to fixing anything is knowing exactly what needs fixing. Like posture. Understanding good posture means understanding bad posture. So, in the spirit of that, (as well as kitsching up your holidays!), my gift to you is a quiz! Can you spy the most obvious elements of bad posture in the following fab photos? Your prize for getting them all right is certainly a step towards better health. Not to mention a tinsely sense of superiority. #1. #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 1. This exaggerated kyphosis probably isn't her everyday posture but more of a body language message of "Ho Ho hooold me, Santa!" 2. Is it me or is the standing child's R knee hyperextension not the only sadly haunting thing about this photo? 3. It's a red velour shout out to shoulder asymmetry. Also, L leg and foot stuff but look at that little rocking chair back there! 4. Shoulder elevaaaaaaation. 5. Where to start, besides a shirt? R leg externally r...

The other head problem

Though not as common as Forward Head , let's talk about another postural deviation I'll call Chin Up Head. Here's a good example. By our cultural standards, she's gorgeous: that neck goes on for days! But in addition to her head being forward, her chin is lifted. End result: stunningly beautiful uh....compression of the neck vertebrae. The technical term is cervical extension and it usually isn't as extreme as the model above. Here are more subtle examples: It's a little hard to see but all these people have their heads lifted a few degrees off neutral. Held habitually for years, it can add up to neck problems or even chronic headaches. It can even affect your eyes. Chin Up Head is very frequently associated with Forward Head because of issues in the upper back and neck muscles. But there are two other important reasons people acquire this postural problem: Limitation in thoracic extension and overstretched tissue in the front of the neck. Huh? Limit...
