The Transcendentalists were a gang, right?

My homie, Ralph Waldo Emerson, wrote that “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”  Just remember that if you happen to notice that what I’m writing about now is different than what I posted yesterday.

When we work out, things go better if we use our brain muscles at the same time.  We can use our brains to keep track of all those surprising appendages that go every which way when we least expect it.  Brains allow us to remember to keep our abdominals engaged, our shoulders out of our ears, and our knees aligned over our middle toes.  Moving mindfully creates pathways for our neuromuscular system, which in turn creates the possibility for fluidity and grace.

We can focus on the movement and on the moment, being where we are and doing what we are doing.  It makes things better.
