When we're playing a board game, most of us have an understanding of the rules.

In Monopoly, you know that you're going to be purchasing property and building. In Clue, you're finding a weapon, a room, and a perpetrator. In Chutes and Ladders, you're going up the ladder for a good deed, or down the chute for a bad deed.

How about Life? (Not the game, the real thing).

Did anyone ever tell you the rules?

Do you know what rules you play by anyway?

Take a moment to consider the personal rules that you abide by in your day-to-day routine.

Stretching our body every day is an excellent way to keep limber, fit, and healthy. Stretching on a regular basis is a great routine to incorporate into your day, particularly in the morning, right when you wake up.

I'd like you to take five minutes now to stretch out your body.

+ Head

+ Neck

+ Shoulders

+ Torso

+ Arms

+ Hands

+ Fingers

+ Hips

+ Legs

+ Calves

+ Feet

+ Toes

When we stretch, we honor and treasure our bodies. We give thanks for the physical body that helps house our innermost dreams, goals, aspirations, beliefs, and values. We value our physical being.
