Daily Movement
I have ADD so it’s difficult for me to focus and choose one thing. This post is to encourage daily movement. Start with 5-10 push ups a day. Against a wall, on a couch, on a bench, a counter, or on the floor on your knees, or full push ups.
If you really hate push ups and won’t do this. Then start with squats or a wall sit.
If you’d rather focus on your core then start with modified or full plank holds for 30 seconds.
One of my favorite go-to exercises is this cat/cow. This is a perfect place to start if you haven’t been doing anything for your body lately.
If you are being cruel to yourself then do this meditation to cultivate more love and kindness towards yourself and others.
If your body is complaining and your mind is all over the place refusing to focus on one thing, then rotate between these and do the one that works best for you on that day.
If you miss a day or two, it’s ok. Everyday is a chance to start again. I will be here cheering you on.
