You were made to breathe a certain way, to move your eyes and head around, to change positions and planes of motion often, and to walk. I am suggesting that you move in the ways you were designed and intended to move. I am not telling you to exercise, lift weights, HIIT, or to do cardio. Movement is the key to enhancing and optimizing your physical performance, your longevity, your creativity, your cognitive ability, and your YOU-niqueness.ĭon’t misunderstand me.

Whether we “grow old” or “stay young” is often determined by the thoughts we keep. How we navigate time is largely up to us. At other times we equate these numbers with discounts, fragility, and withering. Sometimes we equate these numbers with milestones and rites of passage. The higher that number gets, often the more weight it carries. Every time you celebrate a birthday, you are likely acknowledging a number that becomes attached to your identity. Every time we circle the sun, we are here a year longer than we were. Ways to move our bodies, but also thoughts we can let go of and ideas to embrace.
