Moving your body - on all spectrums - should be a form of nourishment, not punishment.
I’ve been open about my experience with lyme disease and the mental and physical blocks it put in my way. It used to be easy to get discouraged at the suggestion of working out, or going for a long walk because my body hurt and I felt tired. All that was true (& still is at times). Those activities were interpreted as a threat - they’ll wear my body down, they’ll make me more tired, and honestly, I was just scared too.
I think there’s a lot of us feeling similar things right now. We’re staying home more, it’s getting colder, we’re less active, the world is a lot, it’s that time of year AND we’re experiencing all sorts of side effects from this pandemic.
