The Body in Motion

Human bodies just love to keep moving, but sometimes we absent-mindedly live a life in chairs, in cars, on screens, and lost in thought. This month let’s appreciate our capability for motion and delight in connecting to our physical form, no matter our level of skill or ability!

Habit:

A little extra movement (a flight of stairs, 5min of walking, whatever fits your skill and activity level)

 

Daily:

Pay attention to your body in motion. Feel those muscles working!

 

To Do:

Change or add something to your physical activities. Your body loves variety.

Do something physical you really love. Dance, swim, jump on your bed… whatever brings you joy!
