A few months ago I came across this article in Whole Living magazine.
10 Thoughts on Whole Living
1. Something worth doing once is worth doing again.
2. Flexibility isn’t wishy-washy. There’s a difference between knowing your priorities and not knowing your own mind.
3. The road to wellness isn’t straight, clear, or predictable. It’s a path you forge yourself.
4. Dream up a simple project, then shape it with your hands.
5. True generosity doesn’t leave you with less, it leaves you with more.
6. Wait two seconds before you say something you can’t take back.
7. A balanced life looks and feels different for everyone.
8. Patience is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it wastes away.
9. Vulnerability brings trust. Trust brings opportunity.
10. Let sensory pleasure, not rules, guide a healthy appetite.
I would also like to add a few of my own:
1. Believe in yourself .
3. Stop living in the past, learn from it and make your present the best it can be.
4. Cherish your family and friends.
5. Make peace with your body and appreciate all it has done for you.

Side Kick
Lay on your side, with your hip, shoulder and elbow in line. Wrap the band around the ball of your foot and hold both ends near your chest, adding tension to the band. Lift the top leg and lower with control to the start. Repeat 12 times on each side.
Side Kick Front
Lie on your side with your hip, shoulder and elbow in line. Wrap the band around the ball of your foot and hold both ends of the band near your chest. Extend the right leg forward, keeping the spine stable, then squeeze your glutes and extend the leg behind your body. Repeat 12 times on each side.
Back Extension
Lie facedown, legs together and straight, extending both arms in front over your head. Double over the band and extend both arms in front, tugging on the band to add tension. Inhale, to prepare, squeeze the glutes and maintaining abdominal engagement, exhale and lift your upper and lower body off the floor and at the same pulling time slightly pulling the band “apart”. Pause briefly and lower to the start. Repeat 10 times.
This is the final installment of the series. Let me know what you think.
