Yes, you read that
right! I have decided it is time, after
35 years to divorce Exercise….divorcing the traditional old thoughts, the new
trendy thoughts, and everything in between.
I have decided instead to
just MOVE. To move my body because it
feels good, period, end of statement.
I decided to let go of the
damaging words and voices that I continue to hear in my head over and over
again. I have heard them year after
year…decade after decade. The I
should’s, the I need to’s, the I have to’s.
Thus, the decision to
divorce myself from the meaning of exercise and begin a new, exciting
relationship with movement, joy and play.
It was time to divorce
myself from the old meanings that come up when we mention the word
exercise. Things like:
- · Burning Calories
- · No pain, no gain
- · More is better
- · Feel the burn
- · Push harder and dig deeper
And begin to engage in brand-new
meanings like:
- · Feeling good
- · Getting stronger
- · Moving better
- · Having fun
- · Living life
Don’t get me wrong, I
understand and support and want to share the numerous benefits that moving our
bodies brings us. That is why I decided
to create Shaping Perspectives: A Woman’s Way to Joy.
We are able to share with
you multitudes of activities and movement opportunities and ideas, and give You, our client a chance to think
outside the box and experience plenty
of different ways to move your body including many ways that you may not have
thought of before.
Our clients emerge from
their work with us with a different outlook on what it means to move their bodies
and they walk away with all kinds of different activities that they are excited
about continuing when they get home.
-We make moving your bodies
about joy, fun and sustainability.
-We make moving your bodies
about function, mobility, strength and confidence
-We create ways to move that
help you to live the life you want to live.
Whether your goal is to be
able to play a game of kickball with your daughter, hoist your suitcase into
the overhead bin, walk the streets of Paris, or to get on the floor to play
with your grandchildren, our movement program will get you well on your way.
Summer time is a great time
to try new things and to experience new environments. You can take hikes to trails, mountains,
beaches, parks and waterfalls. You can
experiment with kayaking, swimming and paddle boarding. You can ride a bike into town, play
volleyball, foot golf, pickleball or horseshoes, enjoy throwback moments in
time by playing hopscotch or hula hooping or take the family to a zoo or museum
for time together.
So, what do you say? Are you ready for a divorce? A divorce from the should’s and the have tos
or the drudgery or boredom of traditional exercise?
Come find pure joy in moving
your body, and as a side benefit notice how good your body it feels both during
