Listening to your body means you need to spend time alone with it. This page is full of resources, videos and links to things I’ve found helpful along my journey. Please feel free to play around with the tools and resources and let me know if you discover yourself needing a little help tapping into that inner wisdom.
The 47 Aware Toolkit
Toolkits just make things easier, not only because, well….tools, but because they seem to bring things down to bite-size pieces that make regiments, programs and daily goals easier to follow. Last January in 2023, I came up with a toolkit that was a spin off of the 75 Hard Challenge. When I strived to follow this daily ‘checklist’, my awareness widened, my thoughts shifted and my life really began to change. Easy to do, easy not to do….it’s really up to you!

Functional Range Conditioning
Functional Range Conditioning is an excellent way to incorporate more movement as part of the 47 Aware Toolkit! It was introduced to me by my trainer, Eric Lolar. It is a system of training which applies scientific methods to the acquisition and maintenance of functional mobility, articular resilience, and articular health and longevity. Controlled Articulated Rotations, or CARS, are the main focus and highly recommended for the purposes of improved range of motion and building soft tissue within the joint capsule. Melissa Ray, a personal trainer from Michigan, has some of the best FRC videos I’ve seen; you’ll find many of her tutorials in the following links.
A body in motion stays in motion! A body at rest will stay at rest.
Add this to your DAILY self-care regimen.
