4 Ways To Exercise Outside This Fall That You *Probably* Haven’t Tried Yet, Straight From a Nike Trainer

I expected the article to be kind of click-baity, but I was pleasantly surprised to take away a few great motivators from this article, and hope you do too 💪🏼. The big one for me is the gratitude movement practice – really focusing on being present, deliberately seeking all of the beautiful micro moments around us, and deep, deliberate breaths. The second tip that stood out was the outdoor music challenge. Music is such a miraculous motivator, but this takes it a step further with challenging ourselves to get in as many reps as possible during each part of the song. How FUN!

Leaving you with this little wedge of wisdom I read when it comes to winding down at night. Imagine you’re a car going 72 mph on the highway. When we’re watching tv late at night or scrolling on our phone – we’re still driving at full speed when we pull into the garage (go to bed). Imagine how much better our body and our mind would respond if we slowed the car down – turned down the lights, put the phone in another room, shut the TV off, and did more nurturing nighttime activities instead (reading, journaling, meditation)? Maybe worth a try if you’ve been struggling with sleep lately. That’s what I’m working on this week! Be well + joyful, kind friend!
