Movement Map: What Does My Body Need?

Paper.Journal.4.jpg

We can all agree that moving our bodies helps us feel better mentally and physically. But it’s challenging to know the best movement for our bodies while also juggling the demands of daily life with fluctuating energy levels and time. Decision fatigue is real! Over the years I’ve become much better at listening to what my body needs and trusting what it tells me, versus pushing through a difficult workout because it’s “on the schedule.” Our bodies are always communicating to us, and we thrive when we listen with respect and move in ways that nourish and strengthen them.

I created this as a visual guide for movement, based on the time we have and what our bodies need (relaxation —> burn off steam). I hope that it encourages you to move in ways that nourish your body so you feel more joyful, energized, strong, peaceful, and grounded.
