On movement: take your tired for a walk

Okay, we all get it.  Exercise is good for us. If we know this then why don’t we access it as part of our self-care routine especially when we are feeling blue? Of course, we don’t! Because we are tired and down and going to the gym or out for a run is the last thing we want to do.  Hence this vicious cycle, of needing to move our body but not being able to jump over these feelings (both mental and physical) to get the job done. We choose the donut instead of the yoga class that gives us short term relief but ultimately just perpetuates the negative state. In this episode, I dive deep into the real reasons why we can't access movement at the times we need it most as well as share with you the two key components required to shift this behaviour. I offer a practical and impactful strategy that will have you reaching for your shoes and getting your body moving as a way to provide ongoing support for your body and mind. Goodbye, mindless distraction! Hello, intentional movement!
