I am writing this feeling a bubbling of hope, excitement, and (you know I have to say it) – JOY. I pray that those sentiments are felt through the screen, and with the intentions, ideas, and motivation you’re about to scroll through. It has been a real gift putting it together and I feel so grateful to step into this new year with you. The first Scrolls of 2024 is setting us up to win on every level – mind, body, and spirit – along with some well-being protocols we’re leaving behind:
Meals
Movement
I had an abundance of excuses to not make a dedicated time to work out the past few months…we were traveling, on the road, flipping a house, homeschooling, working…they went on and on. But the reality is, there will never not be an excuse. There’s always one readily available to us if we choose to go that route. I was waiting for everything else to get done so I wouldn’t feel guilty taking time for me. But when we take time for us, we have more to give to everyone else. And as I know to be true from the (very seldom ๐) colorful vocabulary that is parroted back to me, tiny humans take note of our actions, too. What a blessing to be able to move our bodies in this way! ((An aside, I felt a deeply direct correlation between my peace/anxiety level when I worked out regularly, versus when I didn’t. I am so grateful to have this back in our daily routine!))
If you’re looking for low-impact, high reward workouts, I will always always always be the first to recommend Team Body Project. I love everything about them (we’ve been members for 4 years!) and it is the only workout system that I continually am *excited* to come back to. They offer such variety that you’ll never get bored, a myriad of instructors that specialize in teaching everyone (and all abilities), plus the ethos of the team is one I fully stand behind: progress, not perfection.
Mindset
I have been curating this slideshow with deep intention for the New Year. A massive YES to all of these, and to asking more questions ((and listening hard for the answers)) in 2024.
