Walk with me

Lately I have felt so overstimulated between a lack of movement, an overabundance of social media, and just a disconnect in general with the life around me. I have made a goal for myself to scroll less and move more.

I'm starting slow so I don't burn myself out because I have never been consistent with working out. Typically, I find a program online or a series of info graphs on Pinterest but never stick with it. So instead, I've started with a small goal of walking 30 minutes Monday-Friday. On the weekends I might add more intense movement in, but the M-F walking is my priority right now.

My new routine looks like this:

• wake up before the rest of my family, normally 1 hour is enough time

• add a pinch of Redmond’s salt and 1 drop of lemon essential oil to a glass, fill with water, warm for 30 seconds in the microwave

• walk for 30 minutes and drink entire glass of water

Usually while I'm walking, I scroll social media, so my next goal is to start reading instead. Baby steps though!

It's only been one week but I am already feeling a decrease just in my overall tension and stress levels by starting my day in the peace and quiet before everyone else wakes up.

Below is my peloton info if you want to join me at 5am EST M-F for a walk!
