A balanced body is powerful.

A balanced body is a powerful way to encourage and maintain alignment and progress. I am not referring to the need to work out, nor create a specific look, it’s about understanding that when we feel vitality and well in our bodies, we more easily and organically trigger empowering emotions and mindsets. It’s the foundation for maintaining a positive mindset and emotions, and it feeds motivation. Also by engaging our physiology through movement, we can very quickly and effortlessly move out of a negative space when feeling off or overwhelmed. Movement helps move stagnant energy for more empowering energy to lead us, it encourages our bodies to productively release and clear biochemicals that can impact our mood, and it can trigger peak states of performance. No matter our background and history, we have a set of physiological responses that get triggered when specific emotions and thoughts arise. If you are feeling really negative and overwhelmed, you may find yourself slumping over, avoiding eye contact, and being withdrawn. By proactively choosing to stand straight, take deep breaths, and make eye contact, you can quickly shift into a better space. Even choosing to move your body by walking, dancing, stretching, and other forms of movement, can trigger a profound and quick shift in how you are feeling.
