Even The Eye Candy

I've always said the traffic on Lakeshore Drive moves slow when the weather gets warmer. Two words: Eye Candy. It's that time of the year when Chicagoans come out of hibernation, take off their winter boots and scarves, and replace them with running shoes and short shorts. "I saw my first shirtless runner today," a friend of mine said with way too much enthusiasm to pass for a straight guy. Spring is the perfect time to get last minute workouts in before bikini season takes over. And what better way to do it then with outdoor activities.

Just walking down the street to my office on Southport Ave, I find myself completely surrounded by flowers and trees with leaves. Leaves! I almost forgot what those things looked like! Everything is coming up green wherever you go. The words "Fresh!" "New!" "Organic!" come to mind when I see green. Green also corresponds to the color of our heart chakras. The energy centers that allow us to express love. Not only for the shirtless runners on Lakeshore Drive, but for yourself as well.

Imagine the heart chakra as a swirling tornado of energy that is located at the center of your chest. It houses the expression of love, understanding, compassion, and forgiveness. It's the chakra that connects us with each other on a deeper level. When the heart chakra is in full bloom, you have the ability to say "I Love and am Loved."

Getting outside and enjoying the warm Chicago weather is the perfect opportunity to love yourself. Basking in the heat of the sunlight and breathing in the fresh Lake Michigan air heightens your heart chakra. It fills you with a sense of calm. Pay attention to your inner self. It's just as important as nurturing your outer self. I've listed my Top 5 Best Ways to Nurture the Inner you. Check them out...

1. Regular chiropractic care will keep your body moving and nervous system filled with light and love.
2. Massage therapy will soothe away the stress of your day and provide circulation and healing to get your energy flowing.
3. Practicing yoga will keep you balanced and centered to prepare you for the day.
4. Enjoying the outdoors will connect you with nature and fill you with fresh oxygen.
5. Finding stillness in meditation will ground you and prepare you for the day's activities

Explore what it means to truly love yourself. Just like the new flowers and leaves that are sprouting up throughout the city, allow your heart chakra to expand and grow just the same. And watch that love spill into the hearts of everyone around you. Even the eye candy.
