Stretch Yourself Daily. Literally.

Stretch yourself daily. Literally.

Oh sure, there's tremendous benefit to stretching yourself metaphorically, but I'm talking about good ol' reaching up for the sky and bending down to touch your toes.

If there's one habit I wish I'd formed earlier in life, it'd be the discipline and patience to stretch my body.

• Regular exercise? Check

• Eat healthy? Check

• Get enough sleep? Check

• Manage stress? Check

So go ahead. Move outside your comfort zone, challenge yourself intellectually, explore different perspectives, embrace curiosity, learn a new skill, set big goals. I've tried them all and they're great. My big, big goal, though? I'm just trying to touch my toes.

To each their own.
