00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,121
Speaker 1: Appote production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:15,201 --> 00:00:22,641
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Before injury, we will experience strain and then pain.

3
00:00:24,841 --> 00:00:28,841
Speaker 1: Being aware of this can ensure that we have a

4
00:00:28,881 --> 00:00:38,401
Speaker 1: great quality of life for longer. Let's begin your morning mantra,

5
00:00:40,681 --> 00:00:49,121
Speaker 1: I'm aware of strain. If it's safe to do so,

6
00:00:50,081 --> 00:00:59,521
Speaker 1: close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

7
00:01:02,601 --> 00:01:16,321
Speaker 1: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

8
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your

9
00:01:27,161 --> 00:01:28,121
Speaker 2: breath down.

10
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:45,881
Speaker 1: Into your belly. Strain or pain is a message to stop,

11
00:01:50,361 --> 00:02:02,121
Speaker 1: to find another way. We can test our boundaries, our

12
00:02:02,201 --> 00:02:14,721
Speaker 1: outer edges once in a while, experiencing strain or stress

13
00:02:17,441 --> 00:02:27,841
Speaker 1: maybe ten percent of the time. When we live from

14
00:02:27,921 --> 00:02:41,601
Speaker 1: pain and strain, we become more prone to injury, which

15
00:02:41,641 --> 00:02:50,201
Speaker 1: has the potential to affect our lifestyle, the quality of

16
00:02:50,240 --> 00:03:01,641
Speaker 1: our lives. The privileges we take for granted may no

17
00:03:01,721 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: longer be available to us when injured. Today, pay attention

18
00:03:15,201 --> 00:03:28,641
Speaker 1: to strain, pay attention to pain. Today's mantra, I'm aware

19
00:03:29,361 --> 00:03:37,521
Speaker 1: of strain. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in

20
00:03:37,601 --> 00:03:47,561
Speaker 1: your mind, I'm aware of strain. Follow us on Instagram
