Mindfulness is a process of coaching yourself to focus and gently redirect your thoughts. You can use it to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings, noticing sensations, emotions, and mental patterns with greater clarity. People also use the practice to cultivate other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a more positive mood and outlook, improved self-discipline, healthier sleep patterns, and even increased tolerance for pain. Mindfulness can help you better "know yourself," offering insight into your needs and reactions. This self-knowledge can serve as a practical starting point for making other thoughtful, positive changes in your life.

Attaining Sustainable Change
Staying healthy and maintaining your mobility and weight is remarkably similar to the changing seasons, as both require careful and regular adjustments to adapt to new conditions.
An effective way to create lasting and meaningful change is to focus on the good habits you already possess and gradually build upon them. Changes driven by emotions such as fear, guilt, or a strong desire to fix perceived flaws can often lead to a persistent cycle of negativity. In this cycle, frequent attempts can ultimately result in failure and constant reminders of what isn't working, diminishing motivation and confidence over time.
Start with 3 simple questions for Sustainable Change
What do you want to continue doing- because its working?
What do you want to start doing- because it will add value?
What do you want to stop doing- because it is not adding value?
Focus and build on the positives, leave the negatives behind.

One Choice at a Time
Why does aging seem to be so painful?
Ever wonder why somedays you feel very stiff and achy yet can’t recall having done anything physically to cause it? Then experience those days that all seems to feel pretty good. You may have more control over managing this than you think.
Let’s talk about inflammation.
When something enters the body, and it is not recognized as something it needs like an essential nutrient- your immune system kicks in and attacks. Your body will work to protect itself from foreign matter and will push it out or encompass, destroy and or try to eliminate. For example; when you get a sliver in your finger your body will respond and create inflammation (redness and swelling) around the spot. Inflammation is a healthy immune response, however when repeated over and over it becomes Chronic Inflammation... which then is no longer a healthy response but a full attack on one's body.
An unfortunate common systemic form of inflammation can arise from what you eat and drink. Today many items we consume are loaded with ingredients (additives and preservatives) that are not recognized by the body as a nutrient. Chances are if you look at a label and can’t pronounce or recognize an ingredient – your body won’t either! As a result, the body will attack it as foreign matter. This may causes a systemic (full body) inflammatory response which can be experienced through stiff achy joints and overall swelling and bloat.
Each of our bodies are like chemistry beakers. Everything we consume has an impact on our unique chemistry balance. The effect of what we consume can be positive or negative. When negative, your body is smarter than you and will attack the unrecognized matter (like a silver in your finger), causing an inflammatory response. Everyone’s body is unique in how this takes place. Most common areas it can be observed in rashes and irritations on skin, bloating and digestion discomfort, acid reflux, stiff achy joints, and respiratory/sinus issues like runny nose and congestion.
Working with Rebecca you’ll discuss your current pain; together you can determine how to approach managing a portion of that through your lifestyle choices. Rebecca is here to create a supportive environment while together you explore what really works for you.
Aging doesn’t have to be painful -
You may be experiencing inflammation as a response to something you consumed.

Choices for a Happy Healthy New Year
What do you want MORE of in 2024? Or is a better question what do you want less of ?
To make room for more of something you will need to let go of something. Release those choices and things that are not supporting your health and wellness.
How about less fatigue, less pain, less anxiety, less weight, less depression, less inflammation, less sick days, less headaches, less bloating, less putting out fires, less clutter or less waste just to name a few.
What do you want more of in 2024?
ACCEPT what you cannot change -your age, your genetics, all your choices prior to today, what others think, what others say, what happens around you, the attitudes, beliefs, choices and perceptions of others.
CHANGE what you can change - your future choices of how you move, how much you sleep, what you consume, how you treat yourself, your responses to others through your words and actions, where you focus your time, energy and attention, how you let others affect you, your gratitude and how you demonstrate it.
Body Be Well Solutions offers a variety of different approaches for Making Healthy a Habit, One Choice at a Time. Not a diet – that is short term. Not even really big changes; sometimes its the smallest that have the greatest impact. Choices that actually change your lifestyle and get you on the road to health and happiness for good. Creating the resilience to get back on track during those occasions of getting sidetracked.
Actions are more powerful than words - take a look…

What is Mindful Movement Really?
As a licensed massage therapist specializing in chronic pain for almost 20 years I felt there was a need to bring a form of yoga to many of my clients. Massage therapy is beneficial for many, especially those dealing with chronic pain. However, what I’m able to offer as a massage therapist in a session, is short term.
… retain / regain movement function typically lost with aging and chronic pain.
I’ve been suggesting yoga to my clients who are typically between the ages of 40 and 75, equally male and female. Most of them are dealing with some form of chronic pain including frozen shoulder, scoliosis, neuropathy, disc herniations, migraines and joint replacements to name a few.
The response from my clients when I’ve suggested trying yoga has been… “there’s no way I can do yoga, I’m not flexible, my body doesn’t move like that”.
I decided to focus on developing a type of “Mindful Movement” program that was inspired by some basic yoga poses. The intent is to assist my clients on improving the quality of their lives by sharing ways to move daily to manage some of their chronic pain when they’re not in a massage session with me.
Participants are diverse in age, gender and abilities. Use of the chairs has been an important aspect for some, especially as we have been focusing on balance and stability.
Each session begins slowly with mindful breath work.
We then moved into a series of movements to warm up joints and various muscle groups to increase movement and flexibility.
A flow of a standing yoga poses, with chair modifications for those in need is where we pull our movements together.
Sessions end with additional breath work and a short meditation. The overall focus is on being mindful of posture, movements and intention of activity, emphasizing how beneficial even gentle movement can be daily.
What people are saying:
-my shoulder pain is 75% better immediately after class and continuing on.
-thank you for the session this morning, it lifted me physically and my spirits.
-this is exactly the movement I was looking for, not too little, not too intense.
-as you know I have always been resistant to going to yoga classes for many reasons. however, you have made your class such a safe place to practice yoga regardless of ability.
