Can’t believe my boy, Teddy and his brother (Smoke) and sister (Dime) are 10 years old today. He brings such joy to my life 🥰

Ohhh this will be exciting to do! I get to practice gratitude 🥰

Morning Mantra: “Instead of saying you HAVE to, start saying you GET and see how it changes your day.”

Instead of I HAVE to exercise, say I GET to. So many people are unable.

Instead of saying I HAVE to go to work, say I GET to. So many people can’t find work.

Instead of saying I HAVE to go see my family, say I GET to. So many people don’t have one.

Instead of saying I HAVE to feed my animals, say I GET to. Someone’s pet just passed.

Instead of saying I HAVE to fix dinner, say I GET to. So many don’t have enough food.

Instead of saying I HAVE to clean my house, say I GET to. So many are unhoused.

Getting to do something reflects gratitude. Gratitude changes everything. Your mood, your perspective, your life.

For years, Tellington TTouch Practitioners have been using TTouch Body Wraps to influence an animal’s posture, movement, and behavior, passively, without restriction or resistance. Sometimes the result is subtle, as when a horse picks up a foot to step into a trailer when he couldn’t do it previously, and sometimes the result is seemingly miraculous, as when a dog that is terrified of thunder storms is able to calmly lie down and sleep through the noise.

These stretchy, elastic bandages, are not tight like a supportive tensor, and do not restrict movement at all. How can such a passive tool make such a big difference? Prioprioception and sensory integration is the likely answer.

A TTouch Body Wrap is applied comfortably, it is never put on tightly, as the purpose is simply to bring awareness to the area of the body it contacts, rather than for any type of support. Because of the slight stretch inherent in an ACE bandage, the contact provides a light sensation of pressure against the body that also moves slightly as the animal moves. This has the effect of bringing a heightened attention to or awareness of how an animal is using his body parts during movement.

Here is an article from one of our Instructors, Cascade , who also happens to be a Physiotherapist, explaining how TTouch Body Wraps may positively effect the Nervous System: https://www.ttouch.ca/2018/01/24/body-wraps-from-a-sensory-perspective-by-kathy-cascade-tellington-ttouch-instructor/

Morning Mantra: “Forgive yourself. You did the best you could with who you were at the time.”

The greatest lesson you can learn in life is that you still have a lot to learn. We learn, we grow, we do better. We evolve into who we are meant to be.

First, we must have the courage to face our mistakes, our limits and our fears. Change requires us to be brave and to step outside of our comfort zone, outside of the places and people we are used to. Outside of who we used to be.

Growth requires us to reflect on the impact these places and people have on us. To re-examine our part in any dysfunction and to learn how to be okay with not playing that role.

Learning requires us to forgive ourselves for saying and doing things that are not our best work because they come from where we were at, not from who we truly are.

Morning Mantra: “You have to let go to move on.”

Let it go.
You have to let go of everything that needs to stay behind in 2023:
Let go of the pain from people that hurt you.
Let go of the regrets and defeats.
Let go of any resentments and anger.
Let go of any missed opportunities.
Let go of all the baggage, it’s too heavy to carry forward.
Let go of anything that is holding you back- fear needs to stay behind in 2023.
Let it all go.
Let 2024 be a new beginning, a fresh start with new opportunities to embrace, new chapters in your book.
Be brave, go climb those mountains, push yourself, take the chances.
Push fear out of your way and stay strong.
Let go…knowing everything will be ok .
You got this.
Happy New Year.
