8. CALM Series (4 of 4): Movement and Mindfulness

Today I talk about the last component of the CALM method, movement and mindfulness!Movement is so important for us and for good reason; it helps us to build and maintain muscle mass as we age. More muscle = more burning energyThere are so many benefits to incorporating movement into our lives: better sleep, better stress management, balanced cortisol levels! Movement also increases the production of dopamine and norepinephrine which makes us feel good and also helps us transition smoothly from one activity to another. Having exercise snacks sprinkled throughout the day adds up and counts towards getting movement into your day. Mindfulness is paying attention to your thoughts, feelings and your bodily sensations. It's kind of like awareness that we talked about in Episode 6, but it's developing a greater awareness about what's going on in your body. Mindfulness helps us develop our inner skills so you can figure out how to observe yourself and train your attention. Don't forget to check out my new website! jenniferwattscoaching.com!I'd love to hear from you!
