3-min Energizing Warm-up [VIDEO]

Every day, our sense of inner peace vies with the stresses outside. I think of this as a spiritual bank account: Our healthy, self-nurturing habits build it up, and stress siphons it down.

At times when we’re feeling especially good, it’s human nature to take on too much, stay up too late, and drive ourselves too hard. This is like overspending when there’s money burning a hole in your pocket. Before you know it, you’ve splurged the energy you had and are left without reserves.

The trick is not to wait until you’re overdrawn. Successful stress management means constantly monitoring your stress level and making daily deposits to your spiritual bank account, by doing nurturing, rejuvenating things like the warm-up video below from my Barre Body Lift DVD.
