Redefining Movement

We could all use some calm in our lives. If you’re feeling a lack of calm, I want to walk you through what you can do to lower your nervous system using this acronym:

C - Clear your voice, your breath, and your thoughts.

A - Aim for one minute of closed eyes and following your breath.

L - Lightly tap your body.

M - Make room for stillness

Roger Gunn is a golf professional who played in college at UCLA and on the PGA Tour. He’s a two-time US Open participant and a Senior Open participant, and is in Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Alumni. Most importantly, he practices LYT™ Daily!

As a professional golfer, you find yourself performing so many repetitive, taxing motions that you burn out your body (and your mind) in just a few weeks. Maintaining the spine is incredibly important.

He shares some of the exercises and techniques that he’s learned to help with his flexibility and range of motion, and how that’s affected his golf game.

While we’re all more isolated by necessity, there are so many benefits to finding a group for self-improvement. It’s more important than ever to break out of our shells.

When we’re by ourselves, we can grow unaware of our bad habits because they become automatic, but once we’ve put ourselves in a group where those bad habits are not accepted, or the good habits we aren’t doing for ourselves are the norm, it puts us in stark contrast and motivates us to make changes.

We are all wired a certain way, and it is so important to know who we are at our essence.

That doesn’t mean we can’t rewire ourselves and shift some things, but we have some circuitry that’s pre-programmed into our nature and it’s important to recognize and celebrate that. Because when we try to be someone who we are not, it can be exhausting — and it usually ends in headaches or tears. Know yourself, embrace yourself, and lean into it.
