Yeah, I said it. Years of half-hearted stretching hasn't entirely changed my life, shockingly, so it's time for a small change. Which means accepting that it's a long journey and starting it right. Concentrating on soft tissue is my way forward for now. I've been reading and listening to Coach Sommer at Gymnastic Bodies, and noting that most of my aches and pains are down to soft tissue issues (oh yes), and that they take longer than muscles to sort out. I'm in it for the long haul, and I'm going to do the Gymnastic Bodies Daily Limber every day to slowly loosen up and rehabilitate my body. Slowly. Also taking it slowly will be... my head. I've been banging on about mindfulness, with fitful practice for ages. When I meditate regularly, it helps, so I'm going to meditate, even for a short amount of time, every day. What else have I been talking the talk but not walking the run/walk with? Oh yeah, Couch to 5K. Taking it slowly at first, of course. Started it with my partner this weekend. Hooray! And I'd like to do more productive sitting down, so I'm going to see at least one play during this challenge. That'll probably do for now, though I'll keep working on my debt, and we've also started the guitar. A fullish New Year plate, hopefully not too full. 1)_Do GB Daily Limber every morning_____________ (28) 2) _Meditate for five minutes every day____________ (28) 3) _See at least one play_______________________ (1) 4) _Do couch to 5k with Ali three times per week_____ (12)
