Don’t clean it up too quickly-
Like a freshly packed snowball hitting you up-side the head, Christmas is finally here. Many blog-o-peeps would tell you that life is “grand” and “splendid” this time of year although out here in the “real” world … We struggle with stress, family and other worries that muddle our thoughts.
Seeking out solitude for a few peaceful minutes to think is a true blessing: A warm cup of tea before the little ones awaken, running your favorite trail tonight and taking a long nap while watching ‘A Christmas Story’ for the fifth time.
A few peaceful and thoughtful minutes …

Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Instagram
**It’s a sad world we live in when this is more important than … Anything really**
Hmm something is definitely in the air this holiday season, and it’s not the headache inducing scents coming from Yankee Candle Company and Lululemon. The signs are everywhere: Long lines at Whole Foods, shopping carts in the aisles, crowded parking lots and painfully waiting for the car ahead of you to move at a fresh green light (we so miss roundabouts).
Puzzled and Curious, we ask of you your thoughts: Why are we stuck in our lives like the rush hour traffic on the 405?!?
People are drowning in information at every turn, much of which is irrelevant: Fantasy football, Pinterest, Facebook, Yelp … You name it! Our pristine faces are buried in our phones, probably right now reading this blog-o-post!
Every minute of the day we are downloading information. How many of you will be at your desk waiting for the next Facebook or Twitter update and interrupting your productivity to check in on the latest useless piece of trash from TMZ? You are getting weather alerts, breaking news headlines, futures market quotes, spam emails and text(s) in addition to the messages from all of the social networking sites … While using the restroom at work. It’s sad but true.
It’s amazing we have attention to spare on the basics of life: Like answering questions, from real people in front of you! Mix in the stress of recent troubling news and the holidays? Not good peeps …
Big boy and gal chat time: Create some space in that old head of yours! Unplug and throw the phone in the boot on the drive home today. All of us are fatigued and exhausted, we need to distance ourselves from this burden. Even if only for a few weeks and the holidays pass for another year.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Head out into the snow to do something you love. Maybe our signature Happy Hips Warm Up?!? Followed by:
10 Perfect Pull-ups
10 KB Halos
10 KB High Pulls (Snappy and Even)
10 Perfect Push Ups
Five is a nice number?!?
Notes:
Phones in the Boot* for the drive home … ENJOY!!!
*If you live in ‘Murica? Toss the phone in the trunk.
