Allow Yourself to Be More Open

The Body Flow class that I attend is a very unique and relaxing experience because it allows you to stretch your muscles even further for a greater range of motion, and for more flexibility. We do several exercises where we focus on opening the heart- letting our chest expand as we stretch and breathe!

SIGH as we exhale. The opening of the chest allows me to sink more into the moment.
As we hold the stretch, we are focused on our breathing opening even more on the exhale.

I am working on being more open, when I stretch, when new challenges come my way, and when there may be some things that I am not comfortable with (such as speaking in public). Is there anything you are hesitant to try, any challenge that is preventing you from proceeding further? A new relationship that has you closing your heart based on past experiences? Often times we are comfortable with what we already have, with where we already are, and we don't want it to change. Yet life is filled with surprises in which we sometimes have no control.

Go in with an open mind and an open heart as you approach the next day.
Nervous? That's okay, embrace the nerves, allow yourself to be more open to new opinions, new ways of looking at things, and new opportunities that become present!
