52. Stretch · Just For Today

Jessica Figueroa: Hello, listeners. Thank you so much for spending this time with us every day. This is the Just For Today podcast where we go through things every single day together as a community of people that want to bring awareness and joy and peace and love and faith into our lives at a different level. So, what are we going to do today? Well, just for today, we are going to stretch. That's right. Throughout our day, we are going to stretch our bodies. Stretch right now. You could be stretching your calf by lifting your foot and flexing it. You could stretch your wrists. When's the last time you stretched your wrist by pushing one down and then bending it back the other way? When's the last time you stretched your riches your wrists out? What about your neck? Can you stretch your neck? What about your ears? Have you ever had a massage where they pull on your ears? I had a massage one time where the guy pulled my hair like he lightly would grab chunks of my hair and pull it. And I kept thinking, that is so strange. Never had my hair pulled in a massage, but I gotta tell you, I kind of liked it. So that's stretching your scalp, right? Stretch your back out. When's the last time you laid on the floor, tried to do a backbend, and stretched your back out, stretched your abs. You have this body, this beautiful body that God gave you to live your life, do what you needed to do. Stretching feels so good. And it doesn't take a class, it doesn't take a fancy gym, and it doesn't take a Lululemon outfit. So today I want you to stretch, fold your body in half. I want you to lean over to the side and stretch one arm out. Just throughout your day in your car at a red light, stretch something. I want you to feel your body and how it gets tense and how it needs to be stretched out. That's it. Enjoy your day today, full of stretching. And if someone is like, what are you doing? Why are you standing here in line stretching? Say you should too. It feels good. There are no shortage of things that you can stretch without anyone realizing. Okay, so keep it appropriate, everyone, ⁓ to where you're at and stretch it out, move it out, and just take that body and try to feel all those muscles stretching. You'll appreciate it one day when you're like a limber person. So just for today, we're gonna stretch.
