Summary

If you're familiar with yoga (or any other type of stretching) you know that aggressively forcing a stretch usually either leads to injury or at least discourages you to try again, because it's so uncomfortable and painful. And then you'll walk strangely for like three days after... Enjoy this slightly chaotic episode with a bunch of easy examples and tips on how to start small, lower the threshold to get started, and make the changes you want both kinder and more sustainable. Also a reminder for me to follow my own advice and a vulnerable share of what might happen when you don't.
