POST TWO ~ Salubrious addictions... the value of movement. I've always been able to move and move well without thinking about it. And, i've always valued being able to move. To me, movement was a release and a confirmation of how wondrous life is (or can be). Injury and most recently ~ being pregnant only cemented my belief that "Movement is not an inconvenience". The definition of Salubrious is, the generation of health & wellbeing. With that in mind, I was reflecting on habit and addictions the other day. My mind immediately went to the habit of movement. What better habit could you have? Some say that only way to break a habit is to start a new one. So if you have the habit of eating poorly ~ not exercising ~ utilising stimulants to get you through your day (all 'un' Salubrious activities) then start with something simple/ small and get moving! Make a ritual out of household chores Make a habit out of your routine Make Salubrious activities your addictions ~ and one poor habit/ un healthy activity at a time, turn your life around and value movement for movements sake. We are conditioned to forget about movement as we leave our youth behind and sadly most people follow the 'norms' which are in no way ideal let alone normal for the human body & physique. GET ON THE FLOOR DAILY ~ get uncomfortable ~ get moving and make movement your new addiction.
