It's time to stop chasing happiness and start chasing joy. How often do you find yourself saying: "when I hit this personal best, I'll be happy" or "when I land this client, I'll be happy." We immediately raise the bar on happy every time we attain it. Joy is not a choice, it's not a response to some result, it's a constant. Joy is the feeling that we have by doing what we are meant to be doing. When as a human you are constantly raising your bar whilst healthy to stay in... competition with yourself and work to your goals, you may never actually see and appreciate what you have created. At every corner there is a opportunity to see something you've never seen before but be sure not to forget the path you trod to get there. To us, this is what Ignite 360 is all about.

Your body's autonomic nervous system is divided into two main branches: the fight-or-flight sympathetic nervous system and the rest-and-digest parasympathetic nervous system. The key to a healthy ANS is having these two branches balance each other out, because when they lose their balance and flow we end up with problems like sympathetic dominance (aka chronic stress). While we can't always control the balance of stress in our work and home lives, in the gym we can stimulate SNS or PNS activity with different styles of movement and breath work. Learn about these stimulating activities in this article written by Institue of Motion's Michol Dalcourt and Sarah Casey. https://bit.ly/2IzEE8q #IOM #ANS #balance #flow
