Sometimes life is full.
For me October was chocka block.
School holidays, work commitments, moving house and some illness thrown in for good measure. 🫠😆
And the things i had planned to work hard on got side tracked.
An unexpected move,
a change of career direction,
an unexpected opportunity that wasn’t part of the plan.
Things go off course sometimes… and it’s important to monitor how your body registers these unexpected changes. For some people this will trigger massive stress responses, anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.
Normally for me, exercise is the one constant that keeps me grounded.
The non negotiable, the anchor in the stormy weather - but lately even exercise was tough to squeeze in.
And I felt it, the stress, the stagnancy, the tension build.
My excuse was that I didn’t have time but today I knew just had to squeeze it in where possible. And that meant a 6am walk on a Sunday morning today in amongst other commitments.
This is my reminder to you that managing your mind, is of equal importance to managing your body.
Movement is essential.
We are water.
Stagnant water putrefies.
We need to move, our body is designed to move - it helps shift toxins, our lymphatic system, our digestive system, builds strength.
Mental health is physical health.
If you’re wanting success, movement is non negotiable.
Building business, managing change, facing large challenges requires tenacity, flexibility and endurance.
If your body can’t cope, your mind won’t either.
😊💪🫶
