We all want a spring in our step: to feel energetic and happy and not to just live our lives stuck in a pattern that doesn't make us happy. Sometimes it's hard to see what truly fulfils us so today I'm writing about how to get that spring in your step back with a little exercise.
Spring in your step feeling
Maybe you are remembering that day that you woke up wonderfully and everything just went your way. Or that wonderful day on your holiday or any other time when you felt like the King/Queen of the World.
This is a lovely feeling and I strive to feel it at least once weekly, working towards feeling it daily. If you have never felt this, please try some of the tips or try the exercise.
Tips to introduce a spring in your step
- Set a Goal, work towards it and celebrate when you hit it.
- Indulge in a 'guilty' pleasure
- Dance, sing or express yourself in other ways
- Exercise to reconnect with your body
- Paint, Draw or express yourself creatively in other ways
- Do something your passionate about
- Laugh
- Meditate
This exercise is specifically to build up yourself up if you are tired and stressed, towards a peaceful feeling and then towards passion, energetic and spring in your step level.
Reducing Stress
Close your eyes
Breath in softly, slowly and deeply
Allow yourself to feel your body
Place your hands on your belly around your hara point (a little below the belly button)
Repeat the mantra: I am strong enough to deal with life easily
Stay until you feel strong and powerful and notice relaxation in your whole body
Promoting Peace
Close your eyes
Breath in softly, slowly and deeply
Place your hands around your heart
Repeat the mantra: I feel peace in my heart
Stay until you feel at peace
Spring in your Step
Open your eyes
Smile at yourself
Shake your body until you feel passion flowing
Joyfully laugh or dance or move in any way that makes you happy
Sing or affirm something that makes you happy
Leave to dance through your life
