nothing makes me feel older than tight hip flexors, creaky knees, and an achy lower back. I usually do a flow of "threading the kneedle," cat cows, downward dogs, hip switches, and end with child's pose
Heavy on this one, you carry yourself all day you GOT to treat your legs and back well!!!
. figure four (hips)
. child’s pose (lower back)
. Downward dog (hams and calves)
. Butterfly (inner thigh)
. Towel hamstring stretch (hams)
. Cat/Cow (lower/mid back)
And honestly just taking a foam roller and rolling out your leg muscles is GOD TIER.
Don’t be a dick about it but we all are walking around with tight hips and hammies: Loosen ‘em up! Roll them shoulders! Let that forward fold fly free!
being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT. take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be. tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant
very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
