May is National Posture Awareness Month.   My experience is that every time I say something about “posture” I immediately see a change—people sit up straighter and uncross their legs.   We all know we should have “correct posture” (I still hear mom saying no slouching!) but do you really know why posture is so important?   What is “correct posture?”    How important is my posture???   Are there exercises I can do to help my posture?     During the month of May, watch my Blog for the answers to these questions and more.   Do you have a posture question you’d like to see answered???   Let me know and I will answer your questions! In the meantime—Straighten Up for the health of it!   Dr. K

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”   Walt Disney What are your dreams?   Your hopes?   Your desires?   We all have them—that secret dream that thought, that wish of what we want to do or who we want to become today, this year, in our lifetime…   One of the many tools to help manifest these dreams is a Vision Board.   Vision Boards have been used for years; however, they have become more popular in recent years due to media surrounding the movie The Secret and Oprah Winfrey’s show, website, and magazine.   In a nutshell, a Vision Board is a collage of images and words of things you want to attract into your life or become.   It can be things you would like to have, where you want to live, vacation, or who you want to become, do, or be.   How does it work?   A vision bard works by activating the Laws of Attraction, which simply means that we attract anything we give our attention to.   The Law of Attraction is a U...

New Year’s Day is a day of new beginnings, out with the old, in with the new… As we usher in 2012, many of us will choose to make resolutions, to set goals that we plan to accomplish in 2012. Many will choose to quit a bad habit, adopt new healthy lifestyle changes or begin fitness challenges. Realistically, how long will they last? According to the New York Times, “Research shows that about 80% of people who make Resolutions on Jan 1st fall off the wagon by Valentines Day.” If you’re planning your 2012 resolutions or goals, here are some ideas that might help. First, set S.M.A.R.T. goals. What are SMART goals? Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Why goals? Goals have a plan, while with resolutions there are no plans, no accountability, no action steps. However, if you set SMART goals, you will have a plan. Remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! So make a plan! Second, remember it takes at least 21 days to cha...
