Reclaim Movement

This is your permission to not give a **** what anyone else thinks.

So many of us hold back from moving the way we want to move because we’re worried about how it might look. As if using your body in playful, curious, childlike ways is somehow something to apologise for.

For me, the turning point was realising how much I’d been editing myself in small ways, like sitting at the side of the playground, not choosing to climb over or under and instead going around.

When you star to notice the opportunities you’re missing, it’s quite eye-opening. And once you see it, you start choosing the things that you know will make your body feel good, rather than the thing that looks ‘acceptable’ to everyone else.

I talk about a character called, ‘Social Norm’ in my book 📕, because he really is a block to our movement choices.

The moment you recognise how normal it is to restrict your own movement out of habit or fear of judgement, you also realise how freeing it is to stop doing it.

🤪 So if you’ve ever paused because you might ‘look silly’, this is your reminder: the real silliness is stopping yourself from feeling alive, having fun and using your body in ways that make you feel alive (and grateful for the movements you can do!).

Do you ever find yourself not moving in certain ways because of fear of judgement?

It’s getting closer and closer, and there’s only 1 more exciting part of this incredible project to go - more on that later this week (keep your 👀 peeled or hit the 🔔 on my bio page to ensure you see all my posts).

Bookshop.org is an online bookstore that supports independent, local bookstores by providing them with an e-commerce platform to sell books. Customers can buy books online and choose to support a specific local bookstore, which receives 30% of the cover price from their orders.

It’s a great initiative and to celebrate their 5 year anniversary (and Reclaim Movement’s 5 yr anniversary last month!) they are offering 10% off pre-orders of Move Well for Life with the code LOVEBOOKSHOPS
until 14th Movement 🙌

Ps. If you’d like me to talk to your group or organisation about the themes from the book (with movement breaks always included!) please get in touch via DM.

Do you notice how you move through your day, or do you only ‘count’ movements that look like “exercise”?

This post is based on this week’s blog, “How your thoughts can amplify the benefits of movement,” that’s explores exactly that idea.

Inspired by a Harvard study (co-led by the amazing Dr Ellen Langer) that showed when hotel workers were informed that their daily tasks counted as beneficial movement, their health improved, without changing a thing.

The takeaway? Awareness matters.

Valuing everyday movement helps the body respond better, no extra time required.

So if you’d like to start bringing more variety into your movement and learn how to make movement matter more in your daily life,
