For the next 7 days, pay attention to your mindset. We're not trying to optimize it or anything, just do your best to notice patterns, feelings that influence thoughts, external circumstances that make you feel a certain way and go down a sequence of thinking you've made routine. You’re not trying to fix anything just observing.

This week was about noticing movement freedom and body tightness. What has this week's awareness taught you about your daily patterns when it come to mobility and flexibility? Did it even cross your mind? lol 😂 No worries it not, this is a place of practice for that reason. Awareness is the first step. Aside from that, one common pattern when it comes to stretching, is only doing it when something hurts or is so obviously tight that it cannot be ignored. You don't have to stretch everyday like an Olympic gymnast but a couple quick motions and holds can make a significant difference. Remember, stillness accumulates quietly Please share your thoughts, observations, questions, comments, etc.

For the next 7 days, pay attention to stretching and mobility. Not to optimize it, just to notice what helps and what hurts. You’re just observing patterns and feeling your body as you breathe into short or longer held stretches. At the end of the week, comment below whatever came to mind or that you found true (e.g., what helped, what got in the way, what will you keep doing next week?) That’ll be enough. Don't overcomplicate, just build awareness and attached actions that progress you.

Remember the game is progress over perfection and awareness is the foundation. In this week's reflection for movement, let's address a common challenge that most people face. Typically missed exercise days snowball physically and mentally. A simple solution is developing the lowest effort action that one step/level above doing nothing. Easy enough that you can do it as a worst case scenario instead of letting the moment slip away. I can be something as simple as walking up and down a flight of stairs, waiting to a wall or door on the other side of the room then walking back, or push-ups, jumping jacks, jump rope, etc. Whatever makes sense for your fitness level. Because awareness through remembering you should do something, then back-up by any small form of activity (consistently over time), is enough to get the momentum going. Also, and lastly, don't get upset at yourself for missing a day. Instead focus on not missing two days in a row. We're changing our behavior patterns overtime to our NEW history reflects who we're becoming. Continuing being great!... and yes, I know it's a daily challenge, but it's worth progressing towards since the time will pass anyway. Feel free to share your observations even if this "movement" week has passed!
