Beyond Fitness: The Holistic Benefits of Mindful Movement

Changing your mindset about movement

Something I've been thinking about a lot recently is how we move about our lives. Not just to stay in shape. But all the ways in which we move our bodies and how these things can hurt us or help us get stronger and thrive.

 

I used to think that all physical movement was good for me at all times. Even when I was exhausted, I pushed myself to go on a run or workout. I still do this sometimes today!

2 - It's meditation in motion. I often tell this to people who tell me they can't meditate. If you can lose yourself in an activity. Whether it's running, hiking, gardening you will see that you've forgotten your day's frustrations or found a solution to a problem that's been nagging at you after being physically active in some way.
