Well + Being Day Sixteen: Thread the Needle
If you’re tired of the typical January challenge, we hope you join us for a challenge focused on mind-body-soul health and WELLNESS!
Welcome to Day Sixteen
I’m so glad you’re here.
today’s exercise
When I’m tired or stressed, I nearly always feel “tight” in my thoracic spine. One scientific reason for this is that our muscles that assist with respiration (breathing) live in and around the thoracic tissue. When we are stressed, our breathing patterns change. This can lead to less mobility and a “tight” sensation.
Today’s exercise is one of my go-to movements when my thoracic spine needs relief. Give it a try, and be sure to focus on your breath!
Reflect (and share for contest entries!)
What changes do you notice in your body when you are under stress?
All the details, in case you missed it!
The prizes
Consistency is key, so I’m offering weekly prizes for those most consistent, along with three grand prizes at the end of January!
There are a few ways I can track this, and to be fair to all participants I’m offering the following scale for the grand prizes only (I’ll announce the weekly giveaway entries as we go—this week’s is below):
five entries if signed up for the texting service
one entry for each challenge post shared on Instagram-tagging @drfoxyfit and using #befoxyfit
one entry for each comment made on blog challenge posts
one entry per day for sharing your completed calendar (see below!) on instagram with #befoxyfit and tagging @drfoxyfit
I’m offering a fabulous grand prize for one local resident (details to come soon, but it involves a once in a lifetime Lululemon shopping experience!) and a $100 lululemon gift card for two additional winners.
