Movement As Medicine

July 5th, 2013

When I spend too much time in front of the computer or television I don’t feel right.
I don’t feel as if my body and mind are working together as they were designed to do, and when this happens I know it’s a signal for me to get up off my inactive butt and do something physical.
As in get the heart pumping and break a sweat.
It doesn’t matter what you do, just get up and move.  Exercise anywhere and everywhere.
Exercise is a gift you give yourself because it can reduce anxiety, clear toxins from your system and … Read More

One of the items on my so-called bucket list actually happened and I still pinch myself about the experience. After watching Saturday Night Live on television for many, many years, I finally got to go to a LIVE SHOW!!  THANK YOU EMILY!!!!!  It was fascinating, it was great fun, it was high energy, it was pure entertainment!It was everything I ever thought it would be and more!!!  Talk about kick down the door, put yourself out there, over-the-top creativity!!

I don’t always feel positive about all of the situations that life throws my way but I do feel very positive about life. Would I continue to feel positive if I were diagnosed with cancer?

Life In The Intersection Laughter really and truly is the best medicine and my prescription for you on this wintery Wednesday is the following hysterical “letter” from a ficititous grandmother that was published in a community newsletter. Traffic in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia metro area) is notoriously horrendous and after hearing the driving stories on the news and from friends who traveled by car over the Thanksgiving holiday, this story had me laughing out loud and nothing is better for dissolving stress and anxiety than a good laugh. As a note, someone wrote this “letter” to… Read More

I’m taking a break today and enjoying the popularity of “Gangnam Style.” “Gangnam Style” makes me laugh and laughing helps you cope with life.  Laughter is very powerful medicine and I try to use humor as much as possible to get through the ordinary hassles and crises I face. Courtesy of The Levo League, I saw the above picture yesterday posted on the company’s Facebook page and had to share it!  The man pictured in the blue tuxedo jacket is South Korean rapper Psy.  I didn’t even know rap existed in South Korea but there you go! The “Gangnam Style”… Read More
