Walk as if you are going barefoot across an ice-cold floor.

Notice how your whole body tightens and lifts to help your feet minimize contact with the ground.

 

Notice the effect of that tension in your legs, pelvic floor, chest and your breath.

 

Now, while still holding that extra tension in your feet, pretend you are getting ready to ski, try your golf swing,  run on the spot or just walk.

 

Is there freedom of movement in your joints?

 

Do you feel confident in your performance or sure of yourself?

 

Notice how your whole body closes and tightens in response to the tension in your feet.
