5. Create an Empowerment Zone Create at work or at home a retreat for yourself to reenergize yourself both mentally and emotionally. Not having space for this zone is not an excuse. It can be a private room or your favorite chair or desk. Include items such as plants, books, relaxing music, and pictures to create an environment of peace. Use this area to think and visualize positive things in your life. You might want to think of future situations in your life and how you will master them for your benefit. Use this area for carrying out important tasks whenever possible.

Go apply these techniques today! Apply what works for you and reduce your environmental stress.

Support Feet. Use Tail.

There is value in considering that if our spines were longer, if we had a tail, so to speak, we would have better awareness of balance. Our tail could help us identify our relationship to ground. If long enough and strong enough, it could even serve as another “foot.” If we had three “feet” supporting our bodies we would have a strong tripod as our foundation. A tripod is most stable foundation there is. If you can visualize a strong tail supporting you, you may begin to have a different relationship to your feet, your balance, your body and your environment.

Whether you’re strolling or winning a marathon, way we find balance, way we experience and trust our bodies to move appropriately determines our vitality and our health. Poor posture inevitably leads to poor health. Poor coordination due to lack of balance leads to less trusting of our own physical skills.
