The White Stuff

I love the Snow..it make everything look clean and untouched ..until you have to go out in it, then you hate it..especially when it freezes..it gets dangerous then folks..so the classes tonight were cancelled, but thats no excuse to do nowt now is it?    (NO is the answer...I can hear you all say it..)
So I know you wont be bothered to get the mat on the floor whilst watching eastenders(or whatever..arent you fed up with watching the snow on the news...isnt anything else going on??) and the excuse will be you've just had dinner(or just about to), had a glass of vino, had a bar of choccy, had a piece of cake, feel too tired, had a hard day, its too cold..theres loads more..'cos Ive used them as well!!

So heres the thing..if you sit (sorry, I meant slouch)on the sofa please just sit up, on those sit bones, lengthen your spine, lift ribs from the hips, practice the lateral thoracic breathing & the core connection, do this for 5 minutes...time yourself with the timer on the cooker...when it goes beep and you have to stand up, push into your feet and push the floor away from you as you stand without using your arms to help you get up.....use your legs.....then go to sit down again and before your butt touches the sofa, stand up again...do this 5 -10 times ..dont use your arms, leave them out of it, or let them float up in front of you...then go and turn the beep beep thing off as its driving you nuts by now, then go to the bathroom and look in the mirror..look at your shoulders..no..really look at them..is one higher than the other? are they balanced left & right..do your arms rest by your sides..are your shoulders rounded? Do you sit at a computer..? well...
Now widen your collarbone..almost like it was smiling a big fat wide long smile and it was floating as it has 2 balloons tied to each end..your shoulder blades are melting down your back ...your head is as light as a balloon and lifting up and away from your shoulders and, as you grow taller , your abs that are below your navel draw in, the ribs stay away from the hips..you are taller, more confident and more beautiful! 
Now stay with the fab posture to do your whole body a favour for the rest of the day..see if you can...its hard work! How about the rest of your life?
