HOW I GET THROUGH


10 Positive Benefits Of Listening To Music, According to Science


Music...Music....AND.....more MUSIC. I have always been in love with music ever since I was very little. I didn't watch cartoons because I preferred things that were solely based on music. Yes, some cartoons have music, but it wasn't enough for me. Music is my therapy; the one thing that never fails. It is something about how the words mixed with a nice melody mixed with a choirs crescendo or the runs of an artist that just speaks to me. Music is a mood changer it can make you cry in one moment then the next moment you can't stop moving your hips. It gives me hope when I feel down. It motivates me through school work and definitely a workout. When I first started my weight loss journey I absolutely utterly with a passion hated running. I utilized music to set the bar for myself. The goal was to first make a running playlist and the key challenge was to not skip a song. It was key because I would challenge myself to run for an entire song and then I would walk on the incline the next song. With this routine, it leads me to run faster and longer; if I must say so myself I have come very far. I am 100% sure that music does something to your brain that forces you to work out harder. Hear me out you know that moment when you go to the gym and forget headphones or god forsake your phone dies well yeah I have had many of those moments. YES, the gym plays music, but it's not always your music; you feel me right?? Just because these things happen I still go to the gym and I notice well at least I feel that I am not working as hard. There are probably tons of research articles on this, but I know this is true because I feel a clear difference. I know we all as people find some type of music we resonate with, but I resonate with a variety of music. I think we all should embody the power of music. It is a key player in my life and nothing has made me feel half of what music does. Music doesn't have to be your key therapy, but find something that challenges you and bring you joy because it is essential to have something that does the for you. Mine is music, but yours could be anything or a multitude of things. Just remember everything starts with you.

The Ultimate Green Smoothie

Yes Yes, I know another smoothie in a mason jar. You will come to learn if you do not already know that I love smoothies and I love mason jars. They are both so convenient. This recipe is filled with vegetables and a little fruit. If you do not like vegetables unlike me this may not be the recipe for you or you can simply add more of the fruit and less of the vegetables. I also incorporated vanilla whey protein in this recipe so it can be used as a meal substitute for a busy morning or afternoon. I did try the chocolate whey protein and did not like it at all. In the previous smoothie recipe, I talked about incorporating flax seeds and why they are beneficial. I have added a picture of the flax seeds that I use below.

CHOOSE PT

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE When I was a kid I knew of different career, but I had never knew anything about physical therapy. I knew about doctors, nurses, lawyers, fashion designers, and teachers. Due to these things I was presented with or knew about I literally wanted to be all of these things besides a teacher. When I realized these weren't the careers for me, I had to begin exploring other things on my own. During this time I got the chance to watch my family members with physical therapists and it was intriguing to me. It wasn't until the summer before 9th grade that I knew that it was for me. I volunteered at a veterans affair hospital and I worked with a Physical Therapist there and I fell in love. Through years now that I have learned even more about it was confirmation that this is what I want as a career.  Two Favorite Things About PT In physical therapy your number one goal is to do what best for the client and getting them back to their life as best as you can.
