88 Years Young with Yoga

Doing Yoga everyday is your best choice for living well ~ Joci James

“Never put an age limit on your dreams.” Dara Torres”

Here are 9 reasons why doing Yoga everyday is your best choice:

  1. It helps you tune into yourself and tune out stress on any level.
  2. It is a mind body connection. With the increased oxygen and blood flow to the brain and heart, this stimulates more clear thinking and body energy.
  3. It engages you in controlled breathing which quiets the your mind and helps your body with a renewed sense of energy and calm.
  4. It gives you stronger muscles which not only makes you look better but also contributes to your over all health. Stretching and relaxing your muscles removes tension and stress.
  5. Doctors may soon be prescribing Downward-Facing Dog instead of pain pills. Practicing yoga everyday will help to realease your body pain as well as helping your Doctor to have proof that it is a medical protocol that will solve your medical body diagnosis. Yoga is medicine and it is time for people to start seeing it that way.
  6. Yoga’s alchemy of breath and movement can stem desease an alleviate pain, and also change your body health down to the molecular level.
  7. Most yoga postures are more about deep relaxing, not stretching, even though it all feels mighty  good.
  8. It pain-proofs your brain. Integrative Health has reported that yogis tolerated pain more than twice as long as nonyogis. The conscious relaxation builds connections in the brain that helps in dealing with pain.
  9. Yoga has been a life savor for me. I discovered yoga over 3O years ago and have been practicing it almost everyday since. I had been suffering with dibilitating fibromyolgia and was searching for a relief that was not a addictive prescribed pill. It has a bucket full of healing results that not only keep my body healthy and young, it has an affect on keeping my mind young and “smart.” You might say it is my best friend. It can be yours too, all you need is a mat and that is optional depending on your environment.

Is Your Life Aligned to Your Signature Strengths?


The next questions might be, “What are my Signature Strengths? How do I find them? How do I engage and express them?

 Your signature strengths are those that best describe the core aspects of you who you are.

 Do you find that your everyday journey is easy, fun and rewarding? Or is it tiring, leaving you feeling frustrated at  the end of the day.

 I spent most of my younger life feeling guilty before I closed my eyes at night, never having the satisfaction that I had done all of my “to do list.” What was missing was that I had not been introduced to the magic tool box that each of us are born with, our “inner signature strengths.”

 Signature strengths are the things we like doing and come naturally to us to execute. We find more happiness in our life if it is aligned with our signature strengths.

 For example, I love creating a mosaic picture in my garden with colorful flowers. I can happily spend hours in my garden forgetting to eat lunch and knowing that my muscles will be aching tomorrow.September 2009 - June 2010 003

 The end results of my labor and creativity excites me. But a constrained job as an accountant on a secretary sitting at a desk all day would leave me feeling tired and unfulfilled.

 As I mentioned, your signature strengths are given to you at birth. These strengths are the strong nudges you get when you are engaged in a task that you enjoy. They are the ones that are energizing and comfortable to use. Your friends and family would agree that these are definitely “you.” These are already pathways in your brain that you were born with or might have been evident when you were a child. Some of these signature strengths might be latent; however it is still within you.

 Discovering your 24 signature strengths by taking your personal strengths assessment will benefit your efforts in achievement and create your best life.

 When you learn to engage your strengths, you will feel as if you have more energy available to you.

People using their signature strengths find that they have more energy and excitement in their life.

They feel that they are being “real.” They are being the person they want to be, not the person someone else wants them to be.

 My top signature strengths are:

 Woo

 Woo stands for winning others over. I enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and         getting to know them.

 Learner

 I love to learn. I never was interested in learning when I was younger. Now it is exciting to learn new things.

 Responsibility

 I feel a strong responsibility to show up and deliver what I promised.

Activator

I know I will not be judged by what I say or what I think, but what I get done.

How can you use your discoveries in achieving your personal goals?

There is a natural progression that you may follow:
