"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love.

Do a spine-strengthening stretch.

via Daily Challenge: Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 10:59 PM

How to do it:

Lie face down on a carpeted floor.

Extend both arms out in front of your body.

Your head should hover over the floor with the tip of your nose just above the floor.

Lift your kneecaps up off the floor and draw your belly button towards your spine.

Lift your right arm and left leg towards the ceiling, and reach toward the walls in front of and behind you.

Hold for 3 seconds and release.

Do this two more times, then switch arms and legs.

Why it matters:

Many people complain of low back pain as they age, and sedentary lifestyles can contribute to weaker muscles in this region. This is a great exercise to strengthen the muscles along your spine in your lower back. This can help prevent pain during everyday activities or when you're exercising.
