nothing makes me feel older than tight hip flexors, creaky knees, and an achy lower back. I usually do a flow of "threading the kneedle," cat cows, downward dogs, hip switches, and end with child's pose

Heavy on this one, you carry yourself all day you GOT to treat your legs and back well!!!
. figure four (hips)
. child’s pose (lower back)
. Downward dog (hams and calves)
. Butterfly (inner thigh)
. Towel hamstring stretch (hams)
. Cat/Cow (lower/mid back)
And honestly just taking a foam roller and rolling out your leg muscles is GOD TIER.

that’ll change my advice. are your hips even when you sit? when you walk? do you sit at work all day? do you lift heavy shit a lot?
general things to try: legs up the wall for 20 mins a day; pigeon or figure 4 to release the hips; gentle supine twists + thread the needle holds

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
