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.

There is a very little word that we often use. It has only two letters, but it is full of power for good or evil. It is the word ‘“IF”. Do not be always fancying that IF your circumstances were different you would be different; IF only other people would be agreeable, you would; IF only you were somebody else and had their chances you would do differently; IF this, that and the other might be, all would be well with YOU.

The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … Balance Beam work and a touch of Crocodile Breathing. Maybe some Walking Meditation in the afternoon sun?!?
Notes:
Smile today and ENJOY!!!
This Is Going To Be Pretty Unbearable …

Shame, Shame we know your name peeps! Not a single one of you reading yesterday took the bait we so generously tossed in your general direction: “You teach what you need to learn“. One little, painless comment for or against would have placated the cantankerous Uncle Sachmo! But no way Jose, you were way too busy lamenting about all of your grand adventures over the past weekend … Now you shale all suffer. Performing our best Jesse Pinkman impersonation: “Listen up and pay attention, bitches!!!“
The single worst part of dispensing advice to others either in a random blog-o-post or over a few cold PBR’s is that NO ONE (re-read this again) actually follows through with what you have to share. When most self-absorbed (<— If this word is too abrasive choose another one that best fits your personality) peeps ask a question, they already have a picturesque answer in mind-which is usually, the answer they would like to hear coming from your mouth.
Quick question: Why ask for advice or help in the first place? When you know you will not use it.
The challenge to our dear readers today is this: When someone asks you for help or an opinion later this afternoon. Zip it up and don’t say a thing to the person asking! Listen for once and lend a good ear. Chances are they could care less what you have to say in return. Listen and help guide them to the answer they want, the answer they want to here from their own mouth.
Or is this you?!?<—Must Clicky(Dear Lord above let this be you!!!)
The Plan-
The Workout-
Before dawn go outside and enjoy the Moon and Venus dancing in the sky above you. Awaken your senses with a nice flowing Sun Salutations Series, bringing balance and energy to you this morning. What you do after this is up to you …

Pretty unbearable indeed … Smile and ENJOY!!!
