Blog post #3

Welcome back!

This week I set some silly goals, but to me I find them impressive. I want to perfect the scorpion pose, do the splits, and learn how to different types of handstands. Am I getting off topic...? Not really because it is up to me how I want to stretch and what I want to stretch. On my journey I want to have a little fun.

Guess what?!?! I’ve been feeling much better mentally. I am now, for the most part, all caught up in school. Although assignments keep flying in, I’ve figured out a routine that’s been working well for me which is to just get them over with. I do my work as soon as it’s handed to me so that I’m not upset the day before it’s due.

I ran my first facilitation and didn’t pass out from nervousness. I actually sat on my floor before the presentation and did some breathing exercises and some leg and back stretching to get my mind to calm down. This DID help a lot, but at the end of the day you can’t fix shy and I my heart was still beating fast thought out the whole presentation.

Anyways, I did some further research. Last week I realized that I didn’t actually throw out any facts I just talked about what stretching should do for ones mental health. But after consulting many health fitness websites, blogs, documentaries, and magazines, this is what I all of them state: stretching IS a stress reliever.
