S2E10 We Can Work With our Bodies Instead of Against Them - with Julie Tracy of Posture Massage

49m · Create Joy · 23 Mar 10:00

Our bodies are amazing, wonderful creations, and they know exactly what they need! They usually start to tell us subtly, and if we don't listen, they get louder and louder.

In this episode, Julie helps gives us three amazing tips on how to start working with our bodies.



#createjoychallenge

The Create Joy Challenge this week is to have something you love, and keep it visible.

Maybe have lots of somethings you love, but make them meaningful, and make them prominent. This can be anything… this can be fresh flowers on the dining room table, a seasonal candle lit in the living room, a favorite tea kettle that lives on the stove, the guitar displayed in the piano room. If you have a blanket your grandma made you that makes you feel like you are wrapped in her arms again, it can be laid out on the foot of your bed. It can be a charm your child made you on your key ring. The key here is to keep things you love present in your environment, so it can be there to help you spark joy throughout the day. I would love to see what some of your favorite things are that you have in your life. If you feel like sharing on Instagram, tag me @createjoypodcast so I can see it and/or use the tag #createjoychallenge so we can all create joy together, and maybe get some new ideas of things to incorporate into our own homes and lives.

”We can actually work with our bodies instead of against them.

“You might not be allowing your body to communicate with you because you are blocking it with all these other things.”

“It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.”

“You can listen to your body and have a dialogue with it just like any friend. You are getting into a relationship. Treat it like a relationship.”

“Our bodies like to get out of pain.”

“Getting to know your body is a lot like getting a brand new baby. They can’t communicate verbally, but you have to be quiet and work on bonding with it.”

“There are so many different reasons that we distance ourselves from our bodies. It is so important to reconnect and get to know each other again.”

“Acknowledging that you have a body is is a huge first step for a lot of people.”

“When you are confident in your body, you become more lovely to other people. When you are ashamed of your body and what it is, people also get uncomfortable, because they can feel that uncomfortableness in you.”

Quotes "How can you really love someone if you don’t love the pieces of them that are different from you - if you are only connecting on what’s the same, them your relationship might be pretty shallow. And you are going to miss out on some people who are amazing because you are not looking for that." - Jasmine Bradshaw

"Our differences connect us." - Jasmine Bradshaw

"Society has set it up in a way that separates us so we are going against these systems that have been taught to us since we were really really little.

"Reshape our idea of what UNITY means."
