I walk with beauty behind me. I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me. I walk with beauty all around me." True self-care is simple, even if devoting time to it is not. Use the recommendations in this article to release pain and tension as stepping stones to building your personal healing repertoire. The more you practice, the better you'll feel, and every choice you make in favor of your wellness counts and cultivates a lifestyle of walking in beauty. May you continue to find ways to walk and playfully experiment in your beauty laboratory.

Hand movements occupy 25 percent of the real estate in the motor cortex, even though our hands do not account for 25 percent of our body. This fact demonstrates that attending to our hands generates greater body-mind awareness. GET T Y IMAGES
