If you wear an Apple watch, I am sure you are familiar with with closing your rings. For those who do not wear one, you basically have three different rings to track your movement (personal goal), exercise minutes, and stand time. I made a personal goal that I wanted to try to close all three as many days as possible and now I am at the six month mark of closing them daily, which is wild!
I thought I would share some reflections and things that have stood out to me during this time. I would love to know if you use any accountability system!
- Movement is medicine
- Find things you enjoy to do
- You do not have to have a structured workout to move. I had many days where I would walk, stretch, chase my kids, or swim with my family as my exercise.
- Make time for yourself if you want it to become a priority
- Create consistency
- Motivation fades…focus on creating habits
- Do things for you, not anyone else
- Your watch is a tool, not the end all be all
- Include your friends or family
As always, sending light and love.
Blessings,
