Biomechanics of Shadows

For a more thorough analysis, here are some suggestions for observation: Do you arms swing away from your body the same distance? When you shift weight to one leg to step does your torso shift evenly? Do your shoulders and hips rotate the same on both sides? What happens if you see an asymmetry and try to correct it?

How to win the Superbowl

,
Are you a dreamer? Long term goals, such as having an fun-sweet-obedient dog, winning the superbowl or losing 5 pounds are what I like to call DREAMS. They are the big-picture reason for our actions, the WHY, the fuel. Some of you might be dreamers like me, always thinking about the possibilities. Others might be more practical minded

21 is the magic number!

We did it!  Dave is writing on post-it number 21!!!  Why 21??  Experts agree that it takes 21 days consistently to change a habit, or in this case to create a habit.  We were creating the habit of gratitude and focusing on the positive aspects of each day.  Rather than try to break a bad habit (which could be focusing on the negative, complaining, whining, etc.) create a habit that can replace it!

It was a great 3 weeks and fun to read each others post-it notes.  Leave me a comment below of how you stay grateful or about an activity you do in your home to create positive vibes!
