Thirsty Thursday… Food For Thought…

What are you planting?

I am planting hope even when I can’t see what is coming next.

I am planting joy. I am learning that I don’t have to earn the right to enjoy my life.

I am planting love. The kind that doesn’t require me to abandon myself to keep it.

I am planting peace. The kind that will reunite and raise the vibration for all of humanity.

This being breast cancer awareness month, let’s celebrate the importance of moving our bodies, our breasts and takng care of ourselves.

Did you know that regular physical activity is associated with a lower risk of developing breast cancer? I want to encourage you to bounce and move your body and breasts so that the fascia and all the layers of vessels and tissue is encouraged to move. We wear a bra for so many hours a day so when you get home take it off and let the girls flow 😊.

Move for your breast health, move for your strength, move because your body deserves desires it! Movement is more than exercise. It’s an investment in your health.

Life is meant to be in motion.

What if we spoke to ourselves with a little more compassion and kindness?

We can be incredibly compassionate towards others. We offer encouragement, understanding and patience when someone else is struggling. But when it comes to us? We can be our harshest critics? We might say things like… Why didn’t I do more? Why can’t I get it all done? Why am I not further ahead? Why am I finding this or that so difficult?

A friend and I were talking about this exact thing, and she mentioned Psychologist and researcher Dr. Kristin Neff. She has helped bring the concept of self compassion into the conversation about emotional well being.

I am enjoying her books and I am pleasantly surprised at the timing that this has entered my life as we are living in a time of feeling forced to move faster and doing more and… and… and…but I am feeling a shift of not rushing to the next thing but rather making thoughtful choices after pause and curious thought and decision to engage in what fills me up instead of what I feel I have to, as well as letting go of what no longer feels aligned. It is truly empowering. I say let’s honour being bored and not have access to all things… all at once… bring back being bored!

Self compassion is not about making excuses, avoiding responsibilities or giving up on growth. It is about treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we would offer a friend. It means that recognizing that being human comes with challenges, mistakes and imperfect days. It means that we do not have to tear ourselves down to become better.

This is self care and we don’t need to earn it, we just need to schedule it in so that it becomes more organic and simply part of every day for each one of us.

Breast care is about more than what you feel during a self exam.

Let’s talk about our lymphatic system.

It deserves a little more attention this being breast cancer awareness month. The connection between breast health and your lymphatic system.

Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels, tissues, and lymph nodes that helps to maintain fluid balance and supports your immune system. There are lymph nodes in the armpitsand other areas around the breast and chest, and lymphatic vessels help drainfluid from breast tissue.

So why does this matter?

This matters because understanding your lymphatic system helps you better understand your body, knowing what is normal for your breasts makes it easier to notice changes, and making time for routine breast screening, when recommended, is an important part of looking after your health.

Knowledge is part of self care. The more we know about our body, the more confidently we can advocate for our health.

Have you ever learned about the connection between your breasts and your lymphatic system?

Fun Friday, A Little Creativity, One Loop at a Time!

Well, I have found another way to keep my fingers busy!

This week’s adventure... finger knitting with a loom!

There is something wonderfully satisfying about taking a little yarn, making a few loops, and watching something come together.

No rushing, no deadlines, no pressure, no need for perfection...just creativity in bloom.

A little patience and the simple enjoyment of making something with my own two hands.

And you know what? It is exactly what I needed!

I am warming up to the realization that not everything we do has to be productive, have a purpose, or lead to something bigger.

Sometimes the joy is simply in the doing 🙌

So here’s your Fun Friday reminder to make a little room for whatever brings you joy, even if it means getting tangled up in a little yarn along the way!! 🧶

What is something creative you enjoy doing just for the fun of it?

Thirsty Thursday, What are you pouring your energy into?

What are you carrying that isn’t yours?

Just as we pay attention to how we nourish and hydrate our bodies, perhaps we should also notice where our emotional energy is going.

Here is the question... Are we pouring from our own cup to fill everyone else’s? Or are we making time to replenish ourselves too?

When we are nourished and grounded, we can show up for others from a place of strength rather than depletion.

Fill your cup with what restores you, and give yourself permission to set down what was never meant for you to carry.

We can be present for others without losing our presence within ourselves.

If you could pour a little more of something into your cup this week what would it be?

Let us know in the comments!

Let me start below…

Workout Wednesday, our Bodies Love Variety!

Who says movement has to look the same every day?
Some days it’s a beautiful walk outside.
Other days it’s yoga, stretching, gardening, or dancing around the kitchen while supper is cooking!

Our bodies thrive on a variety of movements. Different activities engage different muscles, support mobility, encourage circulation, and help keep our joints moving comfortably.

All movement is beneficial.

A little movement throughout your day can be just as important to your routine as setting aside time for a workout.

So rather than asking yourself Did I exercise today?
Maybe ask how did I move my body today?

Movement is something we get to weave into everyday life!

Challenge: Try moving in a way you haven’t for a while. Dancing, taking a different route to walk, or simply stretching while your morning coffee brews.

Drop a comment below as to what is your favorite way to move that doesn’t feel like exercise?

TALK TUESDAY, A LITTLE GRATITUDE FOR OUR BODIES 🧡

We spend so much time thinking about what we want to change, improve or fix about ourselves that sometimes we forget to appreciate the body that carries us through life.

Our bodies are constantly adapting to the demands we place on them. Whether we’re navigating the natural changes that come with aging, building strength through training, or allowing ourselves the time and space needed for recovery, our bodies are working behind the scenes every single day.

And yet, how often do we stop to acknowledge that?

Wellness isn’t just about reaching a certain weight, looking a certain way or pushing ourselves to do more. It’s also about learning to listen to our bodies, recognizing what they need, and giving them the care and respect they deserve.

Some days, that might mean getting outside for a walk. Other days, it might mean challenging ourselves, nourishing our bodies well, getting enough rest, or simply slowing down when we need to.

Progress isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s about learning to work with our bodies rather than constantly fighting against them.

At Lymph In Motion, I believe caring for our bodies is an ongoing journey. It’s about supporting movement, encouraging recovery, and making choices that help us feel and function as well as we can through every season of life.

So here’s a little reminder for this Tuesday: you don’t have to wait until you’ve reached a goal to appreciate yourself. You can care for your body, work toward your goals, and appreciate where you are right now, all at the same time.

✨ Let’s talk!

What’s one thing you do to support your body through aging, training or recovery? Or what’s one thing your body allows you to do that you’re grateful for today?

Share below! I’d love to hear from you. 👇

A special thank you to Tanya Willmott for the inspiration and the reminder to approach our bodies with a little more gratitude and a little less criticism. 🧡

Life is always meant to be in motion. 🌿
