Movement practice every day in September. We begin Sunday, September 1st.
THIRTY minutes minimum, your choice. Walking, running, weights, yoga, whatever makes you feel good. You do not need anything fancy, or you can be as fancy AF.
Some people love accountability, and if you are that person, you can use this thread to check in here. You can also use your IG account or partner up with a friend. This is not required….but I can tell you from experience that it helps—a lot!
You will not be receiving an email every day, but I will be checking in here with you all - every single day :)
The most important thing to remember is that this is a good thing. Taking care of yourself and putting yourself first allows you to show up for all your loved ones and responsibilities in the best way possible.
Thank you everyone who showed up for themselves this past month! I know it's not easy and I know everyone has many responsibilities - but life is easier when we put ourselves at the front of our lives. Keep making yourself the priority!
Was nice to have this check-in/accountability! My weekend outings are pretty much a given but sometimes it’s harder to do what I plan to on a weekday. This really helped me not shorten or skip those (aside from the one day where I forgot to do my remaining 10 mins after the work fire drills finally died down).
From Day 29- walked with my two favorite humans (husband and son) through a botanical garden, around 1.5 hours. A slow pace so we could enjoy our surroundings.
Day 27, a travel day. Lots of delays due to the weather so I’ve been walking around the airport. At least an hour today, will walk some more. Great people watching!
Day 18 - 30min of rebounding + ab work. Feeling so much better today since taking yesterday completely off. Lesson learned - don't work 4 shifts in a row :)
I am feeling exhausted today after 52 hours working in the last 4 days. But this soft challenge and all of your showing up is energizing me to continue showing up as well. It just may be later in the day today :)
Day 30 - walk and light yoga. Thanks so much for this gift of community and checking in throughout September, Mia!
