Make the body into a comfortable space for the mind to rest in
Stretching, sweating, strengthening, flowing, and consciously breathing are all ways to shift energy mentally, emotionally, and physically. Whatever your cup of tea maybe (and a combo of them all throughout the week is even better), it's important to prioritze that time for self-care through mindful movement. The body was made to move, not Netflix (even though rest is an important piece of the puzzle too)!
I know it can be challenging with work, family, motivation, life, but is all that more important than loving your temple body?
Trust me I know its hard, but if at first you push yourself into making movement a good habit, then it will eventually become 2nd nature.
Then the wonderful benefits like extra energy, inner/outter strength, mental peace, good sleep, mood boost and overall health will come with it!!
What kind of movement are you doing this week? For me it's yoga, pilates, an interval cycling class, and a 10km hike with friends. Though after that it will be rest, marché, some nice wine, a fancy home cooked dinner, and release 🙃
Sending love from a 3rd confinement,
