I am so blessed to work from home and live in Florida, because for the most part – I’m either bare foot or in flip flops!  I do not like heels like most women and that’s because of the damage it does to your feet and our spine.

Sorry ladies, but its true. Talk to any Chiropractor!  However, when I do wear them…I don’t have them on for long. lol  I know a lot of ladies love them and have shoe fetishes. So,  this one is for you! 

Own Your Power,

Cure For High Heel Hangover

Easing the Pain of Beauty

by Katy Bowmen

Would we keep wearing a hat that gave us a headache or a belt that fractured our ribs? The answer is, probably not. Yet, most of us wear shoes that have multiple negative impacts on the health of our entire body. Studies in leading scientific journals show that these reverberating effects start with painful and deformed feet and can migrate up to impaired bone density and a weakened pelvic floor.

According to The Journal of Gerontology, for example, a study examining senior populations showed that a history of wearing ill-fitting and high-heeled footwear was specifically associated with poor balance, hammer toes, bunions and foot pain. Once thought to be genetic or age-related, researchers are now beginning to look at the impact that shoes have on the body.

 

Identifying the Culprits

The most detrimental part of the shoe to overall body structure seems to be heel height, which both increases tension in the plantar fascia (the thick connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot) and alters the position of the knees and lower back. The higher the heel, the tighter the muscles and fascia in the arch become, until walking feels painful. A heel of any height also projects one’s body mass forward, increasing the pressure on the front of the foot, which can lead to soreness there and increase the risk for bunions.

Other harmful footwear characteristics also need to be evaluated. The narrow toe spaces of many fashion favorites not only limit the foot’s natural range of motion, they diminish the strength of the toes. Weakened foot and toe muscles, resulting from years of cramping toes into a too-small space, provide insufficient strength for proper balancing and, according to the American Journal of Epidemiology, the situation can even increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis.

When researchers at the Institute for Aging Research recently analyzed foot examination data from 3,300 older men and women, they found that 64 percent of the women who reported heel and ankle pain regularly wore pumps or high heels at some time in the past. They found no significant link between foot pain and the types of shoes men wear.

Taking a Healthy Stride Forward

A lifetime of excessive shoe wearing and poor shoe choices means we need to make foot fitness a priority. It is possible to undo much footwear damage if we modify our habits. Try making the most of these foot exercises and shoe selection tips: READ FULL ARTICLE HERE!

On the surface, spaces get cluttered because things aren’t assigned a home; because people shop without a list or without thinking before they buy; can’t decide whether or not to keep something; keep things because they have a monetary or sentimental value attached to them. In my interaction with clients I have gone beneath the surface and found that those dealing with clutter have usually had something happen that started the process of clutter accumulating.  Beneath the surface lies the truth about you and your clutter.

There are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual connections between you and your environment.  The same is so when it comes to a cluttered environment.  When we look beyond the physical clutter we can begin to see the connection to the physical body.  So, just how does clutter relate to the physical body?  Often when you have clutter you’re also dealing with health concerns or excess body weight, which has you feel the same way the clutter does—drained, no balance, heavy and wanting to get out of your body.

In a cluttered space there is no real life present, there is limited movement or it can be difficult to move about the space, there is no balance, and walking into the space can make you feel uncomfortable or wanting to leave the space.  For some, the clutter is a way of protecting themselves, just as excess body weight can be a form of protection.  Getting to the root cause of the physical body issues is the key to being able to get rid of the clutter in your environment.  Weight loss or addressing health concerns opens the door and motivates you to get rid of clutter permanently and decluttering an environment clears the way to weight loss or resolving health issues.  Additionally, getting rid of the physical clutter can cause lifestyle changes.

When you look at the mental perspective, clutter accumulates in physical spaces when mental clutter begins to accumulate.  The mental clutter is the result of stress, related emotions and minor or major shifts or changes in life.  When we’re cluttered mentally, we find it difficult to focus, we’re not clear, and can feel mentally weighed down and drained.  Our thought patterns represent what the physical environment looks like.  When you free yourself of the mental load; remove the blockage, you pave the way for clearing your space and become clear again mentally.  When your mind is clear, your environment is clear.  Likewise, when your environment is clear your mind is clear.

Then there’s the emotional connection to clutter.  Now, you may not think about this area of your life being cluttered, but how many times have you known people to walk around with unresolved emotions?  What happens at the end of a relationship?  Usually there are things that remain unfinished, unsaid, and plenty of emotion as well as the baggage to go along with it.   At times it’s not a relationship that’s ended that leaves us cluttered emotionally, but the existing relationships—the vampires, draining relationships, and the abusive ones as well.  They are all forms of emotional clutter.  If there is enough of it and if it remains for long enough, this emotional clutter will flow over into your environment.  If you’re dealing with a cluttered environment, take a look at your inner circle and see who’s present.  It may be possible that there are some people in your life that need to be removed.

Finally, there’s the spiritual connections that exist between you and your clutter. This area is extremely important, as spirituality is at your core.  You are a spiritual being having a human experience.  Everything is energy, including clutter.  We know that like attracts like, therefore, clutter attracts more clutter.  The more clutter you have in a space, the heavier or more negative the energy, which impacts you directly.  This is the energy that will keep you from being productive in a number of ways.

That energy will blur your vision, keep you confused and from moving forward in life. Everyone has their own personal path; a reason why they are here on the planet, or life’s purpose and when there’s clutter you are detoured from that path because it becomes difficult to connect with your Higher Power or Creator, and your Higher or Spiritual Self.  When you hold on to things you remain connected to the past.  The things you hold onto hold the energy from past relationships or other situations, and you stay there in that space unable to connect on a spiritual level or to move forward on your path.  The clutter leaves you in a place where you have absolutely no freedom, which is completely opposite from the freedom that is inherent within you as a spiritual being.

Before you get ready to roll up your sleeves and clear the clutter from your space, take a look at what lies beneath.  What’s going on with you physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually?  There is so much more to clutter than meets the eye.  Many people think that clutter is only stuff that needs to be removed or put away, and wonder how it could be so difficult to get rid of, but don’t be fooled.  It really isn’t that simple.  You are your clutter and if you really want to get rid of the clutter once and for all, start with you.
