Do you let others dictate your life?

So, let's say for a second that you are sold on wanting to add more movement into your life, to start eating clean, and to communicate better with others. What are your road blocks? Besides yourself, your biggest road block will be people that you are close to who don't want to change. Remember, you have to be the one to stand up for how you want to live. You cannot live in someone else's shadow or let someone else dictate what you do with your life.  Just remember: if you are confident in your change to better yourself, it will be infectious. So, my challenge to you is to open up to someone about a recent health change. For example: you decided to start parking as far away as possible when you go shopping. So, when you are riding in someone else's car share this new change with them and see if they are willing to try it.

It is all around you, waiting to be engaged. This is my challenge to you: simply go outside barefoot and feel the grass between your toes or take the opportunity to stand in the rain. Truly accept nature. This is an incredible step in the human-domino effect

Do you make people stare?

First, let me start by saying that movement feeds more movement. The more regular movement you are exposed to, the more your body will crave it and the more mobile your body will become. Do you ever get the urge to roll in the grass, climb up on something, or just sit in a squat? Our society has experienced a unique shift in what people think is unusual or weird due to the loss of movement in our culture. Imagine if you were to do some of the things I just mentioned. Would you get weird looks from people? Well, being willing to do the things that other people won't do is one of the reasons you will be able to do things that people can't do later in life. Have you been wanting to make a change in your life and become more active? Explore your G-d given right to move. Here is your chance: this week, in a public place, try crawling, climbing, or jumping. Take those weird looks as a compliment to you being able to do what most people can't, because they are unwilling to get fun
