My Restore Yourself moment for Tuesday 10.13.26
Today started slowly. My feet felt good, but my low back was yelling at me—and had been since last night. Fifteen minutes of yoga didn’t bring much relief, so I rested. Then the rest kept getting longer.
I had to dig deep to find the motivation to try a walk. With my walking sticks, I focused on my breathing, posture, and picking up my feet.
Do I wish I didn’t need the sticks? Absolutely. But being safe matters, so I’m calling them my own personal walking elliptical!
Afterward, my mood lifted. I rode the bike for five miles, then enjoyed the sauna. That quiet time felt extra good because I was proud of myself for showing up on a hard day.
The old Robin loved taking on a challenge. Today’s Robin is constantly learning to honor what my body can do and find happiness where I am, without comparing myself to anyone else.
My challenge looks different now. It’s less about speed, distance, or calories and more about being that little engine that could—moving at my own pace and taking pride in what I can do. 💚
