A few tips when trying to “move more” this year:
-Best case scenario only exists in fantasyland. Instead, aim for a minimum baseline: what is exactly ONE step above what you’re currently doing? If you don’t currently exercise, setting a goal for 3x a week is A LOT. Maybe you can aim for 30 minutes a week. That’s do-able, right? Then if you exceed it, great! But if that’s all you achieved that week, congratulations, you’re right on track!
-Is a 60-minute yoga class just not in the cards today? How about a 30-, 15-, or even 5-minute class? Don’t let all-or-nothing thinking stop you from moving; instead, listen to your body when it asks for something different than what you had planned.
-“If I don’t move today, I will fail at my goal/ get fat/ stay fat/ be unhealthy/ not build enough momentum to start moving again tomorrow/ never move again/ not burn enough calories for what I’ve already eaten today/ prove to myself that I’m a lazy failure.” These are all fear-based thoughts. We’ve all been there. How have they worked out for you? What if instead, you tried, “I know I’ll feel better after I move, so I’ll do it for 5 minutes, then I can stop if I want to./ I like the feeling of accomplishment after I take a challenging class, so I’m going to do that today./ It is so refreshing and grounding to spend time outside, so I’m going to take a walk.” Ya know, doing things because you love yourself and how they make you feel: It’s a much better motivator.
-Pobody’s nerfect. What if you recognized that perfection is impossible, totally not your job, and literally never expected from you? What if you were as kind and understanding with yourself as you are with your best friend?
