fam, if you don’t get up + move your body today –
you may be sore afterwards, but your body will thank you for it later.
walk,
jog,
mime,
run,
exercise,
jump,
praise dance,
spin,
stretch,
skip,
or do the butterfly + heel toe combo —
shit, roll around on the floor + shake all your wiggles out!
whatever it takes to get your blood flowing, your lungs growing, your hips swaying, + your core warm + firm, do that.
movement isn’t the only thing your body craves.
embrace yourself with a huge, heartfelt hug,
massage your tender + tight points,
+
speak healing energy into your aches + pains.
today, give your body the attention it deserves.
every single moment of every single day it’s working hard to protect you, to uplift you, + to serve you as best as it can with all the resources in which it has to work.
how long can your body continue supporting someone who doesn’t give a damn about what it needs?
the tension + trauma your body holds is in need of a release; an outward expression of the inward repression it’s held onto for years.
provide space + time for your body to release, for it to gain strength, + for it to recover from the trauma its constantly enduring.
be gentle + kind, + give grace to your beautiful body.
it’s brought you a long way, fam, + wants to carry you for many more years to come.
be you, be dope!
