I see the all-or-nothing mentality cycle with movement and exercise. The body we have is the one we’ve got and movement is vital for feeling balanced, energized, and creative.Take time throughout the day to check in with your body and listen to what it is telling you. These qualities can serve you well, and then pay attention to the messages your body tells you about your needs and wants.Cultivate curiosity. You can apply this anywhere and you likely won’t be bored. And if you are bored, stay curious about the feeling!Surround yourself with people you love and who accept you unconditionally. This is vital as we are such goal-oriented people, especially as professionals and hardworking people in New York City. If you get into the striving-to-improve mentality, you can forget about the person on the way to their goals. Sometimes you need the people who love you to remind you how great you are.Don’t give up on yourself and don’t think you need to go it alone: keep working on your own personal development even through challenging and scary times. Find a therapist or mentor to help you along your way as we all need support.We have lost the art of curiosity and presence while being with other people. From this communication comes empathy, understanding, and connection — the opposite of loneliness and isolation. I would start a movement designed to build connection between peopleInstagramhttps://sproutspout.com/
