Incorporating Joyful Movement Into Your Life

<p>I talk a lot about moving your body and fueling your body well as a form of self-care, but I know that diet and exercise can be touchy subjects. As a size 16 woman I have had my own struggles with embarking on a health journey, which is why I wanted to do this two-part series all about joyful movement and intuitive eating. If you struggle with viewing exercise as a punishment or you're trapped in the mindset of working out to improve how you look versus how you feel, then this episode is for you.</p> <p>In today's episode I discuss:</p> <ul> <li>The positive impact regular physical activity can have on your mental health, energy levels, sleep and long-term physical health</li> <li>Letting go of the self-hatred and shame and shifting your mindset to see exercise as a form of self-care so you can show up as the best version of you</li> <li>Tracking non-scale victories and shifting your goals of working out away from a certain number on the scale or on the tag of your jeans</li> <li>Finding an exercise that you actually enjoy. There is no one right way to workout, find one that you genuinely enjoy doing</li> <li>Listening to your body and taking rest days when you need them. </li> </ul> <p>I hope this episode helped you to reframe the way you view movement, and you can start to find joy in it. I have noticed a huge difference in how I feel when I move my body regularly because it is self-care and has so many benefits for your mental and physical health.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ashleighnicolle.com/goalsettingguide">FREE Goal Setting Guide</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ashleighnicolle.com/shop">Daily Planning Notepad</a></p>
