Let's chat about Fitness Flexibility, Journaling, Seed Cycling and Hormone Harmony

What a fun and open conversation about the mental shift of fitness flexibility and what has been working for us lately to keep fit. What do you love doing and what works for your body? Gone are the days of thrashing our bodies or overworking ourselves to complete exhaustion. We’re ALL ABOUT flexibility, being kind to our bodies, focusing on recovery as well as movement.

Our TIPS for keeping fit lately:

• Keep a fitness journal to help to tune in to how your body is feeling and what you’re enjoying.
• Focusing on recovery as much as the workout.
• Figuring out what type of fitness suits you best.
• Having a holistic approach of movement, healthy nourishment and mental health practices.

Sammy talks through the basics of starting journalling, after a listener question came through. We love when you send in question btw, so keep them coming!

How do you  start Journalling? Here’s a breakdown:

• Start small, only 5 minutes can be really beneficial.

• Don't worry about penmanship or censorship.
• Keep a list of springboards at the back of your journal to use when you do sit down to journal.
