Change 1 Movement And You Can Change It All!

Why pull weeds? Because it’s a change from sitting frozen in front of your computer screen, and more fun than the gym – really!

How many hours a week are you seated? At a desk or conference table? At a meal table? Behind the wheel of your car?

And how many minutes are you exercising at home or the gym?

If you’re not moving your body, your brain is stalling out from lack of oxygen.So, ask yourself:

“What is ONE thing I can do to get my body in motion?”

For one of my clients it’s holding walking meetings. Any meeting that’s a pure discussion and doesn’t need overheads or computer work has become a stroll through the building or even around it.

Another client, in a home office, deliberately leaves 2 errands to do each day, rather than on the weekends. She then drives to the destination and parks at the furthest spot in the lot so that she gets several minutes of exercise without getting on a treadmill.

Me? I do the squats pulling weeds, trim roses and even shovel plants at times.

So whether you’re dressed in wool, or out of your client’s line of site in gym clothes, get your body moving and your mind refreshed.
