Movement changes everything.  Simply stretching your arms over your head & taking a deep breath alters your physical and mental state.  But what if you don’t feel motivated to move?  We get it!  Here are some tips from our Wellness Experts Karen & Katina at Further Wellness.

Set yourself up to win. Place a yoga mat in the same location in your home where there’s not a lot of traffic.  My room is my “Cloffice” (closet office) and my yoga mat stays on the floor.  After I’ve done my morning things (coffee, dogs, check in with family) I go to my cloffice and sit on my mat with my phone and computer.  Once you’re down on the floor, it’s easy to do some crunch and push ups!  I started slow, just a few sets and  found that the more I did the better I felt and the more I wanted to move. The desire to move builds with time…trust me.

Don’t stress. Just do it.  You don’t have to work up a sweat, you don’t have to have the perfect workout clothes on, in fact start in your PJ’s if you want, Just move!   Stretch, crunch, squat, then build on it. If you miss a day or two, don’t worry and don’t quit.  Start again.

Listen & Read. Read or listen to at least one thing that lights you up every day.  Our attitudes and reactions are formed by what we eat, watch, read, listen to and who we surround ourselves with.  Surround yourself with uplifting things.  Even if you just go on Pinterest and search “uplifting quotes” a simple spark can start your own little fire.

Start small, stay the course and you will get results!
