We live in a time-starved world. There is
the constant threat of becoming a slave to email, pagers,
drive-thru’s and fast food. Our culture is built around
convenience and entertainment. There is a ready made product
or service that will gladly take exercise and effort out of
our life OR pack calories in our body.
The result is a culture where we can be seduced into working
well into the evening every day and continuing on into the
weekend. Balancing work with family and personal obligations
has become a recipe for disaster – lots of stress, the
sense of being overwhelmed.
Life Practice
tackles this dilemma in a simple, straight forward way. No
matter how busy we are, we must build time for physical activity
and regular exercise into our lives. No ifs, ands or buts. If
this belief runs counter to your beliefs, than Life Practice
is not the program for you.
We strongly support learning and practicing specific stress
management strategies and techniques. Yoga, controlled breathing,
meditation, tai chi are but a few examples of excellent ways
of managing stress, letting go and taking control of your
life. Life Practice
is a simple but effective way, of taking control of your
life again.
The Life Practiceapproach to
stress management includes focusing on the basic behaviors that impact our ability to control "bad" stress.
Our job is to help you develop a solid exercise routine and habit of
daily physical activity. Eating smart and getting enough sleep,
added to exercise, are the fundamental building blocks to
controlling stress. Your journey in Life Practice
may begin with a modest walking program, evolve to include
weight training and yoga and eventually end up with simple
floor exercises and outdoor walks. Regardless, the message from Life Practice
will always ring clear – there is no substitute
for exercise.
Exercise is the foundation of taking control of your health
and wellbeing.
Everyone experiences stress in their lives - some more,
some less. Managing the "bad" stress in your life is
important to maintaining good health. If
