Exercise has always left the feeling that it has to be rigid and something you consistently have to do for it to count. It has always had a routine and a thought process that it will eventually change my body or to better where I am right now. Although I do enjoy exercising in the past it always has made me feel less accomplished when I don't follow through or see this end result. I love the reframing of moving your body and when I use that rewording it allows me to feel connected to myself, just not in my body but also in my spirit and mind. If I engage in activities like a spinning class to move my body or riding my bike outside it brings me joy to be there and not always to have a final expectation or goal. It is okay for me to see milestones happen and it feels so good to not have this be my first focus anymore. Enjoying the movement and allowing all of me to be present is my biggest takeaway.
