[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 639512, member: 17461"] Good Morning, Nomad :O) I read that you have settled on a good caloric intake, and I read the other great responses, too. There was information I wanted to post to you, but I thought it was too simple, and so, I didn't post it. But over the past few days, I would find myself wishing I had gone ahead and posted, so here is the post. If we move with intent, if we are conscious of our muscles and posture and expression and attitude as we go about our daily activities, we will have better posture, and stronger core muscles. We will burn more calories, because it takes more calories to stand straight, to hold our stomach muscles firmly in place, to maintain a good posture to whatever degree we are able to do that. We will breathe better, expanding our lungs more fully whenever we think consciously about our lungs and our breathing and our bodies. There is another place for you to focus intent. On breathing. On the inhale, consciously loosen the abdomen. On the exhale, consciously tighten the abdomen, clean up the posture, hold the chin up and smile with deep satisfaction. It only takes a minute, whenever you think of it. Over time, you are different, stronger, happier, and better oxygenated. Add Kegel exercises when you think of it. Those kinds of centering, intentional actions will be very good for you I think. Another way to tone without trying is to envision your spine, every vertebra, as being perfectly cushioned, perfectly supported, on a cushion of air. The spine will lengthen, the chin will come up, the eyebrows will rise, as you breathe that imagery in and then, out again. All these little changes, consciously begun and then, becoming the habit of our days, create profound and permanent change, over time. Cedar Also, Nomad? If you consciously relax your shoulders, consciously relax your stomach, your feet, your eyes, that will be a good thing, too. I am always so surprised by the tension I carry in my face, especially. Just to become aware of those muscles and let go, just to let the corners of my mouth rise a little and the muscles around my eyes relax ~ these simple things make me feel happy. Add a deep, relaxing breath during which you imagine the scent of something you love ~ morning, or baking bread, or something that smells so delicious to us resets our emotional take on the moment we are in.
