After the busyness and celebrations of the holiday season, it’s no wonder many people’s New Year’s goals center around wanting to take care of their health, improve their wellness and increase their overall energy and how they feel.

Maybe you're one of those people.

When it comes to the human body, here are 3 truths I find helpful to remember when choosing how I want to take care of myself.

The body is always trying (and working towards) healing.
The body is incredibly receptive and responsive.
The body is intuitive and knows what it needs.

This means that it ISN’T our job to heal our body.

Our job is:

✅ To create an environment for our body that supports and enables its healing.

✅ To improve our ability to understand how our body communicates with us.

✅ To listen to that communication and follow those intuitive instructions it’s always providing us with.

And it begins with calming your nervous system.

One of the easiest and most effective ways I know to bring the nervous system into a state of calm is by doing Legs Up the Wall Pose.
