Define your success.


As we move through life, many of us strive toward a picture of success learned at an early age. Hopefully, from time to time, we stop to examine our ideal of success and reassess our ever-changing goals. The epitome of a life well-lived at 20 may not add up to the same set of "must-haves" at 50, or 90.


Knowing your true definition of success and why you have defined it so, will steer your thoughts and actions ever towards your goal.


Do you seek enlightenment, happiness, financial freedom, adventure, a happy family...? Do you feel like you already walk this path? What would you need to change to attain it? Can you allow for life's surprises along the way? Why does this weigh in your soul?


As I pondered this for myself, I realized that I feel very successful right now. But not based on (our) society's definition of success, or even what I thought of as success five years ago. In a few more years, things will probably change again...


But for now, I will enjoy it while I feel it.

quick tip - breathing

Breath work and deep breathing exercises help calm the body and mind, aid in meditation, and complement body building practices.


It can also improve your massage experience! When you first get on the table for your massage, take a few deep, centering breaths to foster deeper relaxation and bring your attention into your body.


As your therapist works and finds tender areas, take deeper breaths and slowly release as she increases her pressure. This will aid the muscles in releasing their tension.
