Hello there,
I hope you are enjoying this bright Winter's day.
We have a new morning class starting this July - a *Mat Pilates class with Lexi on Wednesday at 8.30am.*
My Activated Flow will move to a Tuesday morning at 8.30 to accommodate this.
I thought I would share a note on intentionality and planning which has been very helpful for me. We all have habits and patterns. In many ways, human beings are patterned creatures and we tend to habituate into things without even realising it.
We will have a coffee at the same time each day, take a certain route home or routinely walk the same way around the shops when we're buying groceries. Some of these routines are helpful, some are neutral and some are harmful but the more you look, the more you'll notice your own patterns repeating for you to see.
Perhaps you plan to go to class and then routinely cancel late in the day, or maybe you frequently forget to pack a healthy lunch and then buy expensive or unhealthy snacks at work. Maybe you hope to read your book but night after night spend your time doomscrolling the internet on your phone. We strengthen and reinforce that which we repeatedly do.
The first step is just to notice.
What do I actually routinely do?
As much as our behaviour can be patterned, so are our thoughts - and again - they can be helpful or harmful depending on how they make us feel. One helpful thought to practice thinking is "I can be intentional with my time", or "I can follow through on what I say I will do."
In the spirit of this awareness I encourage you to bring some intentionality to your movement habits, and plan your classes in advance. Put them in your calendar (including travel time) and prepare yourself to show up for yourself and your body. Maybe you plan to walk your dog, and then you put your tekkies on and go. 👟
This is why I am such a fan of having a routine class and committing yourself to it.
You'll be amazed at how planning leads to consistency and consistency leads to becoming the mindful movers we all aspire to be.
We reap the rewards when we live into our intention.
Have a beautiful week everyone
☀️
Aimée
