I could say all the usual things about self-love, self-respect, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-motivation, self-image...but I won't. Perhaps most people do not exercise because they do not enjoy it or because they wouldn't know what to do with their new high levels of self-respect, energy, clarity, etc. if they finally did it!!!
Here's a thought--Perhaps exercise sounds better to us if we call it "moving". Somehow it seems easier to move a bit than exercise a bit. Maybe it is easier to think of moving a bit more than exercising. What do you think?
Here's a piece of good news, you can start slowly.
Try these, or add these to your routine this month:
Park a little further away from the store and walk.
Find the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator.
Go for a walk around the block when you really want to reach the ice cream in the freezer.
Pull weeds from a standing position for ten minutes.
Get up from your computer and stretch for at least five minutes an hour.
Start your day with a good stretch from your fingertips to your toes...and repeat three times.
When waiting on hold on the telephone, tighten your abdominals and hold for ten seconds and release. Repeat until someone answers.
Let anger, frustration or anxiety be your signal to move in healthy ways quickly until the feeling subsides.
