Passionate, happy, healthy, intentional living. That’s the goal folks 😋 Courageously pursuing happiness in every aspect of your life. “Age is no crime, but the shame of a deliberately wasted life among so many deliberately wasted lives is.” - Charles Bukowski
Dream big 💜 2 years ago I was 200lb and nearly 9 months pregnant. I was in pain and barely rolling over in bed (yes) or walking up and down hills, let alone running. Even 1 year ago when I had started running again for only a couple months I never imagined I could actually be a marathoner and do it on my own. I spent too many years waiting for someone to be crazy enough to do this with me. Well one day I remembered my dream and I said yes. ✨ #iamenough#therapeuticrecreation#selfreflection#caseinpoint#iamstrong

2019 is going to hold a lot of changes for me! I’ll finish college this year, apply for real life adult jobs, get to move in with one of my best friends of all time and reach new heights with my fitness journey 💕 feeling confident, positive and SO ready for what this year will bring✨😋
I'm on a mission, I'm on a mission to shout from the rooftops about the need for activity therapy ♥️. Yes, I am passionate about it as it is something I know that works, something that enriches lives and the health of many.
The demand for Activity Therapists in the UK and Ireland will soar as our growing ageing population continues and people with long term health conditions seek more ways to try and stay healthy.
This article outlines what Activity Therapy is, why it is needed and what the benefits are. I'd love it if you could share this article as I am keen to start raising awareness about the need for this essential health profession.
Comments and feedback welcomed. If you would like more information about my services please do not hesitate to get in touch. I also offer workshops and group talks.
Please help me spread the love please all you lovely people.
Please like and share
Thank you.

✨How high are you willing to climb?✨ I use Sunday’s as a day of reflection & inflection for my personal and professional life.
🧗♀️ today I’m reflecting on how far I’m willing to climb to achieve my goals. Or really, how high do I need to climb to see my goals more clearly.
I think it takes a change in altitude to form a new attitude sometimes!
Name THREE things you want to achieve either as a recreation professional or within your own leisure goals. And then look OUTSIDE yourself. What do YOU need to make it happen? 🌟How HIGH can you climb?
🌈 & always remember that you aren’t meant to MOVE the entire mountain. You are just meant to CLIMB IT. 💫view your goals from a different perspective & keep reaching What The Rec family!

Meditation is the hygiene for our mind and soul. It can be directed at various things, like an enhanced concentration, therapeutic outcomes, stillness or non-attachment to experiences in our life.
Knowing your intention before you mediate eases the process.
It helps you to experience awareness with your physical and energy body. To feel time differently. It gives you a sense of oneness and it actually changes your physical body.
And the beauty of it all is that you get to know yourself deeply; your emotions, your deep thoughts, allowing you to bring yourself to present with a profound sense of inner-peace. 🧘♀️ #oneness#innerpeace#craftinglife#happiness#meditation#miami#blissfulmoments#acceptance#therapeuticrecreation#feedyoursoul#steeryourlife#awakening#energyhealer#transformationalcoach#dayannavalenciano
Recreation is an opportunity to RE-CREATE 🌟
We do the work so our clients feel the benefits while having fun! We put in hours of hard work, a lot of behind the scenes planning and goodness knows a LOT of last minute changes and adapting to life circumstances. But that's rec therapy baby! At the end of the day seeing a client smile, laugh or even be able to share ONE positive thing from their experience makes it all worth it and is why we come to work everyday. #myrectherapist#recreationtherapy#therapeuticrecreation#discoverTRjoy#TRmonth

BIKING is an excellent example of implementing a TR activity to achieve goals. It pushes clients to overcome fears, doubts, and literal life speed bumps. 🚴🏽♂️🚴🏽♀️🚵🏿♂️🚵🏻♀️ Implement: to carry out (a plan). As a rec therapist you observe client response to the TR activities; make adjustments or modifications as needed. This will help you to achieve desired goals with clients. #nobarriers#pushpastlimits#byutrm#therapeuticrec#therapeuticrecreation#byu#rectherapy

I’m trying to have proper, long lunch breaks to make up for late evenings I am working cause many of my clients are in California and dont start their day till its late afternoon for me. Today I’ve sewn an elderberry drawstring back and added the patch I made yesterday. It matches my needle case and will let me carry projects around like security blankets that help avoid awkwardness 🐑 The beautiful fabric is from @seasaltcornwall#therapeuticrecreation#handsewnwithlove#contemporaryembroidery#craftivism#sewingheals#chronicallysewn

"If you build it, they will come"
This space was a woodshop that wasn't being used for years. When I was hired I got lucky that they wanted a gym. I took the opportunity and put together a proposal of how I'd get it done. The rest is history.
The difference simply access creates for people's lives is amazing. Now everyday I get to work and help people achieve their fitness goals.

45 and still learning....I have to pave my own road to happiness. It is different for everyone—-happiness is with in ourselves. No one or anything external can provide our happiness! We don’t always look perfect but it’s how we feel that matters!!!!!
You create happiness and then share it where you can. It will inspire others—- I tried it the other way...for over 10 years I sunk into my excuses, my bad habits, my gossipy company, my self frustration and I didn’t understand why I was not internally happy.
I had no idea how weak this “easy” route was making me. See it is hard to push yourself, to rise above, to exercise when your tired and choose healthy options in all areas of your life.
I have learned that I am happy when I am active and I feel athletic. Not a beast, not a warrior, not a crazy bad ass!!!!!
Just an active 45 year old mom , living a healthier focused life, being decisive with my actions and smiling on the inside.
I just want to be happy being simply ME!
Do you want to be more active and happier...And smile on the inside too?
If you are thinking yes...then I have got to share my tips and changes I am making with you. Let’s talk because inspiring and sharing just adds to my happiness!!!!!
Huge shout out to @spyderactive from EXPAND for making us look as good as we felt on Monday at the Special Olympic Front Range Winter Games. Eldora can be quite windy, and these parkas kept us toasty all day. We can’t say it enough: “Thank you Spyder!”.
