Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks into lockdown already and we don't quite know when it will fully end. 

I have been thinking about all of you and wondering how you are all getting on.  

I hope you are all still moving, stretching and keeping fit. 

I know it's nice to have this time to check-in, slow down and take stock but it is also the perfect time to be taking action on what's important to you during this time because this time is a gift.

It’s up to each of us to decide how we want to spend this time, right? Or what we will be focussing on?

I know what it is like to take your body for granted, there was a stage when I did! 

I know what it is like to think that your body will keep up with you and do what you want even though you don't invest in it, there was a stage when I did! 

I know what it is like to think that your body should keep up with you and that you don't have to work hard at your body so it can support you daily, there was a stage when I did! 

I know what it is like to keep pushing through even though your body is tired, even though your body is saying enough is enough, please sit up and listen to me, I need your help, I need you to help me so I can help you, 

So you can live and do everything you want to do, 

But you have to meet me halfway and right now you are not 

So, what more is it going to take for you to listen to me?  

What more is it going to take for you to appreciate, care for and love this beautiful body and vessel that you have been given?  

I know what it is like to have your body have this conversation with you.... Because mine did with me on an ongoing basis for many years until I sat up and listened

Until I changed the way I looked at my body Until I was grateful for how my body showed up for me

Until I realised, I needed to show up for my body 

This is the point when you decide ok, I am game! 

I am listening!

I will put in the work to help you, body! 

I will put in the work to make you strong again so I can do everything I want to! I will do what it takes for you to feel healthy and energised again!

I will put in the time to help you feel looser and more mobile so walking can be easier! 

Yes, I know, it takes time, energy, discipline 

But are YOU not worth that sacrifice and investment? 

Don't you deserve to have freedom of movement, flexibility, balance and strength to do the things you want independently? 

 So, if you are ready to start putting in the work to help your body get more mobile and stronger

The sky is the limit in what you can achieve for yourself! There is no time like right now to get started 

One of my favourite quotes that help me check in with myself by Hillel the Elder 

"If Not Now, When? If Not Me, Who?"

Check-in with yourself and see what comes up for yourself 

If it’s a YES to get moving and stronger then know,

You can do this!

You've got this!

Your body will say: "thank you for listening to me!"

You will say: "thank you, body for helping me change the way I did things and the way I looked at you!" 

Love and Blessings
