Hey folks if you're new here hi my name is Jamie and welcome to a slice of my deck in Michigan.
We are just going to take a moment to shift our energy.
We're going to do some very subtle but yet highly effective movements while we stand.
So if you're seated go ahead take a Go ahead and stand up and do it in a spot that feels really comfortable.
Maybe outside.
Of course,
If it's sunny out,
Go outside.
So we're just going to take a moment to get ourselves comfortable here in our standing position.
We want to have our feet at least hip distance apart here.
Roll those shoulders up and drop them down.
Unclench the jaw.
Drop the tongue at the bottom of the mouth.
Soften your cheeks.
And the space between your eyebrows.
Little bend in the knees if you must.
And then from here,
We're gonna go ahead and start to check in with our breath.
Go ahead,
Take your palms down towards your waist,
Palms facing up.
And then from here,
We're gonna inhale those hands up.
Towards our chest and then flip the palms,
Exhale down.
Just gonna do this a few times.
Inhale,
Palms going up.
Flip the palms,
Exhale down.
Just a cleansing breath here.
Inhale up.
Exhale down.
Keep going,
A few more.
Inhale through the nose,
Bring those palms up.
Exhale down.
Nice and slow,
Inhale through the nose,
Fill up that belly and chest as much as comfortable.
Exhale down,
Nice and slow.
Two more,
Inhale up.
Exhale down.
Last one,
Inhale.
And exhale.
And release.
From here,
Go ahead,
We're going in for waist circles or hip circles.
Go ahead,
Hands on the waist,
Good,
Bend in the knees,
And we're just moving our hips in a circular motion.
It can be a small circle or big.
You can move fast or slow.
Unclench the jaw.
And I invite you to repeat to yourself.
Today is going to be a good day.
Today is gonna be a good day.
Go ahead and reverse the circle and repeat that to yourself as many times as necessary,
Especially if it feels.
.
.
Completely not the truth.
Just keep saying it to yourself.
It can shift your brain.
It can shift your mood.
Today is going to be a good day.
Once more.
And release.
And from here,
Go ahead,
Take your right hand,
Place it on top of the left shoulder.
And then from here,
We're going to inhale through the nose.
And then take that hand,
Sweep it down the arm.
You can go fast or slow.
If you'd like,
Let's do slow first.
We'll go slow.
And then switch the hands,
Of course.
Left hand on top of right shoulder.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale,
Sweep it down.
And let's switch that out left on the right shoulder or right hand on the left shoulder.
Exhale,
Sweep it down.
Left hand on the right,
Inhale.
Exhale,
Sweep it down.
Now this time we're going to pick it up a pace.
You can get into a little bit more dynamic breathing and shift that arm around so you can sweep it on the inside,
The outside edges.
Just breathe how it feels comfortable normal to you.
Wants more.
And release.
Go ahead and shake those arms.
Shake those arms up and down and all around.
Nice fresh breath here.
From here,
Shake the tree,
Lift those heels if you'd like,
And give yourself a little jump here.
You can keep the heels connected as well.
You can just bounce from the knees.
Just move in a way that feels comfortable.
Shake it out.
Whatever's bugging you,
Get it off you.
Pretend like whatever's bugging you right now.
Grasp it in your hands.
Take it,
Throw it out to the side.
Flick those fingers,
Set the intention.
I don't need that for the rest of the day.
I want something new.
I want new energy.
You can do that without shaking or with.
The choice is always yours.
Maybe put a good smile or a nice smile on your face.
Few more.
And release.
One more movement,
My friend.
Little helicopter.
Go ahead,
Take your feet hip distance or a little wider if you're comfortable with that.
Good,
Bend in the knees.
We're just gonna start to torso twist here.
You can keep a bend in your elbows if you'd like.
Going at your own pace,
Of course.
And then when it feels comfortable for you,
Go ahead and extend those arms out long and intentionally hit your body.
Can have an open palm or a closed fist.
Keep breathing in through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
Today's gonna be a good day.
Gotta be our own cheerleader,
My friends.
If we can't tell ourselves that today is gonna be a good day,
Who the heck else is gonna do it?
We are the first cheerleaders we've got.
A few more times.
Start to slow it down first.
And once you feel comfortable,
Go ahead and release.
Take the palms,
Inhale them forward.
Take a moment,
Two breaths.
Recognize any sensations in the body.
And release.
If you gotta get going,
I will see you next time.
If you want one more movement,
Nice forward fold.
Go ahead,
Inhale those arms up.
Exhale,
Fold at the hips.
Hands can either reach the thighs,
The knees,
Or the earth.
Good bend in the knees for all of it.
And you can either come up,
Inhale up for flat back if that feels appropriate.
Or go ahead and do a little yogi squat if that also feels appropriate.
One more breath wherever you are.
And release.
Come back anytime,
My friends.
I'll see you soon.
