Begin Your Day With Thanksgiving!
How many times have you found yourself with good intentions to start your day off with praise, yet fallen short? How many times have you gotten up too quickly and became dizzy and/or fallen? Begin your day in prayer and thanksgiving, raising your mind and heart with the presence of God. Whether you follow through with your intention of praise and/or surrender...every day and every minute is NEW!
The other day, I found my mind so consumed with thoughts of my world and my health not so well. Some body aches from my past had returned, my energy was low, I was reflecting how I had desired different from how my day had panned out so far, and I was stuck in traffic on my way to my follow up appointment for my injured ankle. It was one of those blah days when I was just going through the motions, not accomplishing my heart's desires. Then, I experienced a glimmer of hope. Deep within my heart, mind, and Spirit I Know that I can Trust in God and always have Hope for the NEW. The beauty and renewal stands in Him ALONE (in more ways than one). Just as you may fall when your feet are not grounded, or get dizzy when you loose your balance....No matter how much I tried to turn my focus on Him, my concentration was scattered. And, yet I found my peace through surrendering, asking God to hear my heart's desires. For God is my foundation and I can stand firm. One step at a time, I do my part, I surrender, and my clarity, energy, and health returns.
Daily Focus: Life is a journey, not a destination. Along our journey we require energy, clarity, and support. The best source of all of these, is God! So, give thanks for your blessings and ask God for your heart's desires today and every day.
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)
Ankle Stability and Strengthening
A physically active body must achieve a stable balance around each active joint for top performance. Ligaments connect the bones to each other, and provide much of the joint's stability. Muscles are connected to bone by tendons, allowing for movement at joints. (Stana Landon) Just as our mind and spirit requires balance and stability, our physical body does to! Whether you are a dancer, runner, into Cross fit, or not so physically active...our ankles and feet carry the burden of our body weight every day. Create your firm foundations physically now! Below are a few examples that I practice...
Foot & Ankle Up & Down Ankle Inversion with Resistance Band
Toe Curl Crunch with Towel
