Joyful January Day #24: Get Outside And Move Your Body

Get Outside and Move Your Body

Movement + Fresh Air = Great stuff for your wellbeing 

If you can then we encourage you to get outside and get moving today. This is a double-whammy as you are getting that life-giving fresh air and shifting energy around your body physically. It is a great way to show appreciation to your body for all it does for you every day, when you think about how much we put our bodies through we really need to give them a standing ovation for their daily efforts! If you can get into nature that is really helpful too, it helps us feel calmer and reduces stress which in turn supports better physical health. Win-win-win! 

For those who can't get outside, as we said earlier, if you can open a window and get some fresh air that is helpful in itself. Moving our bodies (inside or out) can happen in a whole range of ways: 

 

yoga 
tai chi 

dancing 
biking
hiking

walking 
jogging or running 
skipping 

playing on a playground 
weights 
boating 
swimming 
digging 
gardening
house painting 
skateboarding or scootering 
playing sport

kicking a ball 
playing with a pet 
climbing 
playing games like hopscotch or elastics or tag 
martial arts 
play fighting 
water fight
bouncing on a trampoline
rowing 
 

Don't let the weather stop you from enjoying being outside. 
It is said that there is no bad weather just poor clothing choices :) 

How many different ways might you move today? Fast or slow, high or low?

What ways can you move outside? 

What movement can help you get more of the clean fresh air? 

Who might you move with? 

Where might you go to be outside moving? If you can't go anywhere at the moment where would you like to go? Even mental rehearsal through imagining can help us get some positive vibes. 

Whatever you do I hope it fills your soul and fuels your body.
