I went for a walk after work today and then to the gym for strength training. The walk wasn't a struggle; I love getting out in the fresh air and 'resetting' but I really didn't want to go to the gym. I was hungry and a little sleepy but I also knew Future Me would be so happy if I went today, and I am! I decided I would just go for ten minutes and then could leave if I wanted to, and ended up staying an hour :)
Future me! I split things into a "morning Katy" and an "evening Katy" and have them try to take care of each other. Evening Katy sleeps so much better when Daytime Katy made sure to move her body. Morning Katy appreciates it when evening Katy spends two minutes setting out rowing clothes, or prepares a "night before" breakfast to ensure an easy get-out-the-door.
Curious to know how others support their morning and evening-selves when it comes to fulfilling their movement wishes...
Your book, Movement Matters, has broadened my own perspective on movement. I have spent years now, "stacking: my life, "outsourcing" less, looking for ways to consistently move my body in many "constellations." As a 54 year old woman, a martial artist, I am determined to push uphill, steadily putting movement in my path. Thank you for your passion to see humans be, well, more human!
"Favorite books" are like favorite children in that you can't truly have one. But Movement Matters is very special to me. Thanks for letting me know you've embodied some of it. Keep moving!

Morning Sophie is always happy when Evening Sophie washes the dishes the night before!
