Self-Care Suggestion: Move Your Body
Have you ever had one of those days where you don’t quite feel yourself? Your brain is foggy, your body feels stiff, and no amount of coffee seems to wake you up? Sometimes, the best way to feel like yourself again isn’t another nap—it’s movement.
When life gets busy, moving your body is often the first thing to go. But here’s the thing: movement is one of the fastest, most effective ways to boost your mood, increase energy, and help your body function at its best. You don’t have to run a marathon or spend hours in the gym—just moving in a way that feels good can change everything.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, sluggish, or just out of sync, this is your sign: it’s time to move your body.
Why Moving Your Body Matters
We all know exercise is “good for us,” but let’s talk about why it’s actually a game-changer for your health and mindset:
Boosts Energy – Movement wakes up your cells, gets your blood flowing, and gives you more energy (even if you think you’re too tired).
Supports Mental Clarity – Exercise releases endorphins that help clear brain fog and improve focus.
Reduces Stress – Moving your body helps process built-up tension, making you feel lighter—mentally and physically.
Improves Circulation & Detoxification – Movement supports your lymphatic system, which helps your body flush out toxins and function better.
Helps with Sleep – Regular movement (especially in the morning) sets you up for better rest at night.
The key? Finding movement that actually feels good to you.
Ways to Get Moving (Without Overcomplicating It)
If the idea of “exercise” feels overwhelming, start small. The goal isn’t to force yourself into an intense workout—it’s to create moments of movement that make you feel good.
Here are a few ways to move your body, no matter what season you’re in:
1. Take a 10-Minute Walk
Walking is one of the easiest ways to clear your mind, get fresh air, and reset your body.
Start with just 10 minutes—outside if possible!
Upgrade your walks with these ultra-comfy Hoka One Speedgoat Shoes—my go-to for all-day comfort.
2. Dance it Out
Throw on your favorite song and have a two-minute dance party.
Sounds silly? Try it. Instant mood boost.
3. Try a Gentle Stretch or Mobility Flow
Loosen up tight muscles with light stretching, yoga, or foam rolling.
My go-to: Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose—an easy way to refresh circulation and relieve tension.

4. Add Some Resistance

5. Rebounding or Vibration Plate
If you have a mini trampoline (rebounder) or vibration plate, use it for just 5–10 minutes to get your lymphatic system moving.
Low-impact, high-reward.
6. Set Goals + Track Progress
Motivation drops when you don’t see progress—so track it!
Use my free habit tracking worksheets to break down goals and stay consistent.
7. Make It Social
Everything is more fun with a friend!
Invite someone to go for a walk, join a class, or challenge each other to stay consistent.
