Today would normally be our interview episode, but instead I’m going to be talking about something inspired by one of my friends. My friend Elizabeth Briar wrote me and said she had thought of me when she was writing about the French philosopher, Descartes, who said “happiness does not consist in acquiring the things that we think will make us happy, but in learning to like the things we have to do anyway.” She said I seemed to be happy in a lot of the things that I do, and wanted to talk about it.

Everybody knows what that “blah” feeling is. It’s that feeling when you’re not excited, you’re not motivated, and you’re not energized.

So how do you get out of this feeling? In this episode, I’m going to share some tips for getting over that funk and getting some motivation back.

Get the tools that you need for feeling better, but don’t shove it down. Allow yourself to feel it and move through it. If all you do is sit in it, you’ll only ever feel blah. And you should feel lit up.

In the 25 years of being a physical therapist I've seen that people have become more restricted and less varied in their movement. 

In this episode I break down exactly what I mean by good movement and tell you how to increase your ability to move well. 

Make it your mission to move, and move well, each and every day. Also, examine the ways that you're not moving as well, and think about how you can be more efficient and more coordinated in movement.

Today my friend and fellow physical therapist and yogi Kristin Williams returns to the conference. 

We talk about takeaways from a PT conference we just went to, how to work out what might be causing you pain when you run and how you could be suffering from weak shoulder blades, even if you work out a lot.

Plus, Kristin answers your PT questions including:

• -What would be the cardinal sign of a glute medius tendinopathy or tendinosis? 
• Is going from warrior three III or airplane pose to half moon bad for your hips? 
• Does the sacroiliac (SI) joint really move all that much in asymmetrical poses?
• What is the optimal position for feet in yoga - parallel or diagonal?
• What movements do you see from bodies on the street that make you cringe?
