Challenges Quote by Darcy Luoma
““Flexibility, like all the Thoughtfully Fit practices, is something you need to work on to improve. Start simple, such as with the outrageous dresser at the parent-teacher meeting or the glacially slow cashier at the convenience store. Find the places where things are none of your business and affect you the least, and use those as your training ground. You’ll be building your Flexibility muscles, so they’ll be ready in more challenging circumstances.””
