What Is Out Of Your Control That Drives You Crazy? Other Drivers? Or Government? What Your Partner Buys

What is out of your control that drives you crazy? Other drivers? Or government? What your partner buys at the grocery store?… 😜... . The only things that we really can control are ourselves, our reactions to the world, and how we move ourselves through the world.…. . Joseph Pilates called his system of exercise and alignment “Contrology.” He knew that a body that was working properly in conjunction with the mind made one much happier and better able to move through the world in a positive manner.. . What do you do for your physical self and your mental self that helps you move through the world positively?😍. . . #thinkThursday #Pilates #Contrology #Mentalhealth #calm https://www.instagram.com/p/BzN1tC-gWZj/?igshid=pj1fw89441ti

Not saying there isn’t hard stuff happening in the world, I’m just saying: Feel. The. Love.... It’s out there in the world, too. ❤️.

.

In fact, there’s so much love, the more you look for it, that it can be as overwhelming a feeling as when you feel hopeless against all the hard stuff - EXCEPT! Except you are overwhelmed by the glimmer of hope you feel, and maybe of how you are afraid to believe in the goodness and hope....

.

But it’s there! So take it in... let it fill you with a moment of wonder... and then notice the very next thing you feel like doing... Maybe you feel like reaching out to an old friend, or helping out a favorite charity, or going out in nature, or doing some self-love like a workout...

.

Whatever it is, let that moment of feeling how big love is carry you into the next thing you do... with love. ❤️

Pretty is as pretty does. <3

You. Yes, you. 😊♥️

Scary and awesome: there is a lot we have control of! 😃. . Our attitudes, our efforts, our reactions... . For this #motivateMonday think of one - just one! - way you can reset your mental sails and make some progress where you might’ve been stuck. 🥰. Drop me an emoji when you figure out what it will be! . And, whoo-ee, my hair sure gets frizzy after a workout! 😜. . #conqueryourmind #workout #morethanaworkout #youhavethepower https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BtwN76oHiBH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=148uy6bb1w0vt

Thanks to @yourfunctionalbody for this #tipTuesday gem! 😃. . Super for hips and posture... turn on those buns for a deeper hip flexor stretch... See if you can keep those buns on as you lift your sternum up toward the ceiling - they will help keep you from pinching your low back.... More challenge? Lift the arms to the sky!... Need a little assistance? Put hands on a wall or other stable surface as you lift you chest. . How do you feel after doing it?? 😃. . . #hipflexors #hipopener #happyhips #glutes #posture #aligmnent #stretch #bodypositive https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/Bsq6d8LHxd-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xfxtjewl1eeq
