The other day (How Spongy Are You?) I mentioned a quote that was something about 'we don't get old, we just get dried out', not remembering it exactly, or who said it.
Having found the quote and the quotee I am slightly ashamed not to have remembered that it was one of the Kings of the Fascia World, Thomas Myers, who said (and I can now quote correctly):
"ageing can really be considered a process of drying out".
I love this quote, as it is so simple, yet so true.
As we get older we dry out. There's no denying that. Depending on your age, activity levels, self care and health you may feel that your skin is losing some of its elasticity, you may have wrinkles, you may have more stiff (dried out) bits!
BUT..... we do have some control over the extent and rate to which we dry out!
You've heard me talk before about the importance of hydrating your tissues, but Tom puts it really simply in this lovely little youtube clip below.
Simply put we need to:
1. Move
2. Vary our moves
3. Work on our tissue and / or work with a practitioner who can help you with this
4. Rest!!! Ah, yes, rest.... (let me come back to that one another day in more detail!)
Please enjoy Mr Thomas Myers:
Til tomorrow :-)
