Life brings us many highs and lows. It is important to know that bad things can happen to you, but that you can still succeed. Part of any successful plan is to set goals, work hard and deal with challenges in a healthy way. As much as we all want to do that, there may be unresolved grief, hiding down in our conscience or even unconscientious mind, holding us back. Our job is to face this grief, feel the emotion and process it. There are ways to heal from these bad situations, no matter how bad they are. It has been written that we are beautifully and wonderfully made, and when given the right tools to be resilient, we can indeed overcome!

Dragon and Tiger Qigong
Dragon and Tiger Qigong is a 1,500-year-old self-healing movement system based on acupuncture. The seven movements of this Qigong form literally trace the acupuncture lines of your body to move and disperse stagnant chi. The form’s gentle movements are especially beneficial for the joints, increasing range of movement—especially in the upper body. Even when done imperfectly, by people who have limited energy or range of motion, or who are sick or wheelchair bound, this qigong set is immensely beneficial. The movements are easy to learn yet challenging enough to keep Dragon and Tiger Qigong interesting for ongoing practice.

The Importance of Movement
Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Research has shown that sedentary lifestyles are a risk factor for cardiometabolic morbidity and all-cause mortality. So, what can we do? 1) If possible, use a standing to sitting desk; if you work from home and own a treadmill, create a makeshift treadmill desk. 2) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. 3) Walk around the office building at lunch or on breaks – meaning take lunch and give your brain a mental break. 4) Try something new like yoga, Pilates, tai qi, CrossFit, or recreational sports to find the right fit.
