It's all in the 'stance'

It's all about how

YOU

Stand!

Yep, it's almost time to

bust some suds

to

WASH OUT MS

this year it's the first Sunday

at the

Steak N Shake

in Oldsmar FL

Life can sometimes be rough; it can knock us off balance at times... and when that happens,

how we react will often depend on

how we position

our

stance.

You know, how we can immediately react and

"balance" or reset our stand...

kind of like being on a balance beam if you will, it's all about the balance!

Sometimes we stand just like any other day, and if you try this you just might be in for a big surprise.

Have someone help you on this.

Just stand straight and have someone you trust stand in front of you;

then have them take their hand, their forefinger and just press/push against your shoulder...

It probably won't take too much pressure and you will notice you "lose your balance"

SNAP

Just like that!

Caught you off guard huh?

Now, time to reset your balance I'm thinking.

OK

Focus, feel your feet, on the ground, plant yourself firmly... feel deeply in your stomach and connect the two solidly.

Seat yourself firmly and solidly planted and connected.

NOW

ask your friend to try it again.

Solid now right?

That is how you stay balanced, with a stance that is solid.

Then when those moments take you by surprise, you are solid. Things won't disrupt you from your stance so abruptly.

feelin me here?

The life experiences are meant to "shake us" and to move us in directions sometimes unimagined, and that is ok,

change is all around us.

BUT

we can feel and BE in control of those major quakes and unexpected times if we are on solid ground from within... by grounding ourselves and our stance.

Ever been on a boat?

Hit a wave or two and noticed how your stance changes on its' own?

Got your sea legs goin?

Been hiking?

Walkin up hill and notice how your body shifts, you lean into it...

It's all in the stance!

Notice how Lily and HOPE

change their focus, change their states

"click"

something just happens

and they are there!

Been on a ladder lately?

Notice how your body changes?

You become more alert in your movements,

more present with each step,

more aware!

If we know deeply from within

that no matter our circumstance

or the cards that are dealt

we can

stand

with amazing grace

through the storms of life

and

still weather it

without falling down

without losing our stance

by

securing our stance in our mindfulness

and

intention

Stand UP

Stand strong

Be the YOU that you choose
