NOT TODAY, SATAN!

 NOT TODAY, SATAN!



I'm a dreamer. I am also a very logical thinker. This combination is extremely suitable for an entrepreneur, but also extremely debilitating at times! It often brings me to a state of overwhelm... of paralysis by analysis... of inner conflict of what is right for me.

My mind gets stuck in a hamster wheel. What do I do next? Is this aligned with my big vision? Is it aligned with my Divine purpose? Am I doing this out of selfishness or out of true Divine inspiration to be even greater? I find myself so conflicted at times that I just want to drop it all. Forget it. I'll just be ordinary.

Thank God for my AMAZING support team! I understand now that this is normal and not all bad! I need to continue to keep myself in check and prayerfully consider every action. But, I must push myself think bigger! I am NOT here to be ordinary. I have such a major purpose on this earth, beyond what my logical mind can even think. Of that, I am certain.

I see now that this doubt is a tact used by Satan to derail me. I reflect on what Nehemiah told those trying to distract him from doing God's work. "I am carrying on a great project and I cannot go down". (Ch 6 v.3)

I'm learning to take a small step back from my to-do's when that feeling sinks in. Remember who I am and get out of my head. Then, keep taking steps forward. Don't succumb to the doubt & second-guessing. Put the foot on the gas when that decision to quit or keep going sinks in.

So, today, I'm going to play a little. Let my tasks go aside for a day. Connect with others. Tap into that dreamer & message- receiver.

I hear the words of my mentor: "Overwhelm is a sign that you're on the cusp of something next-level". Here we go!

Live Abundantly

💗, Kristen

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries.  Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings.   We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion.  Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip.   Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER).  This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements.  On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis.  The med...

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice.
