The capacity that embodied movement and fresh air have to shift and transform someone's mood is AMAZING.
And it surprises me and doesn't surprise me in equal measure.
A bit of a different post for me (on this page at least) but this isn't about running, not really....
Sure, before this I felt, 'uhh..I don't want to,' but, 10 mins in and boom, those frustrations and tricky feelings had unknotted and were suddenly EASIER TO CARRY AND PROCESS. They no longer lived in and through me, they were there, tangible and I could hold and deal with them as I needed...that is the power.
It doesn't have to be running that's your tool, embodied movement can mean anything and anyway you choose to move your body and work with your mind to help you regulate and access the internal space you need. For me this morning, it was a kitchen disco. Later on in the day it was some shoulder rolls and stretching, with belly breaths.
Next time you have a 'waiting for something' moment ...don't check your phone ...in fact, put it down right now, and tune into the sensations in your body. What do you notice? What does it need? Do it now, and be proud of yourself...then let it build from there.
