Thermogenesis / Hot & Cold Therapy

That dude in the truck cuts you off at the zipper merge, we have a giant deadline coming up, and your kid is throwing a tantrum in the back seat. Stress is a bugger. But we can learn to handle it a LOT better.

How? Just like any exercise or habit. From repeated and conscious attention to it. Simply by forcing ourselves into micro-stressors helps us mitigate our responses to more expansive ones. This is not akin to being afraid of heights and deciding to 'get over it' and walk a tightrope between two skyscrapers. Go back and read the first sentence of this paragraph again. Repeated and conscious attention. We have to be mindful and deliberate with how we proceed through the stressors.

HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!
HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!

With fall apparently already in our rear-view mirror and winter already upon us, it’s an important reminder to stay active even as the colder weather hits us. A few quick ideas to keep moving are..

  1. Set a timer on your phone to get up every hour and do 5-10 squats or lunges. You’d be surprised how many this will add up to every day for a week!

  2. While the coffee is brewing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe through your diaphragm and deep core consciously.

  3. It’s still nice enough for a walk! Even if that means in your living room. Get up and walk/march/skip - it’s a fun activity to include the kids too!

  4. If you have to shovel that beloved snow.. remember to take mini breaks and make it a fun workout. Try to work as hard as you can for 1 minute and then take 2 minutes off as ‘rest.’ Rinse and repeat for time!
