Taking care of you: Gardening

From page 1B ly bent for a nice stretch and better control

Mindfully working a variety of muscles while gardening is great exercise

While the tendency is often to work with our dominant hand and from our dominant side consider switching back and forth between your dominant and non-dominant sides when working in the garden For example, alternate between right and left hands when using your trusty pruners

Doing so will help to balance you out

Although the switch will probably feel very awkward at first with practice and over time you should feel more comfortable and you will be building a positive habit along the way

Final thought: Always adhere to safe gardening practices and keep your health care provider in the loop If you happen to have some pre-existing health issues and are wary of doing anything that may aggravate those conditions, you may find that, with some simple adjustments and mindful exercises you can handle more than imagined!

Until next time happy gardening!
