Lately, I’ve been shaking things up a little.
And honestly, my body, mind and nervous system have been loving it 🙏🏼
As someone who has been incredibly disciplined for well over a decade, this has actually been a really interesting shift for me. Because for a long time, I thought consistency meant doing the same things, the same way, every single day.
Same wake up time, workouts, breakfast, structure etc.
And while discipline absolutely has its place, I’ve been realising that sometimes our bodies are quietly asking for something different.
Not more restriction or pressure or perfection.
Just… more presence.
So lately I’ve been leaning into:
• Shorter workouts
• Mixing higher intensity days with slower movement depending on where I’m at in my cycle
• Being less rigid with the time I wake up
• Changing the time I head out for walks or runs (seeing different people, hearing different birds, changing the scenery a little)
• Drinking more water and herbal teas (I accidentally let this slide a little over time)
• Reducing the constant “healthy” snacking
• Swapping my usual smoothie for a savory breakfast, especially in the morning
And, one of my favourite shifts…
More JOY 🤩
More dancing in the loungeroom with Pippa.
More music.
More fun.
More laughter.
More moments that make me feel alive instead of just “productive.”
I’m also bringing back one habit my body used to absolutely LOVE: nightly yoga stretching.
I used to do 5 to 10 minutes almost every night and I slept better, felt more connected to my body, less tight, less wired. Somewhere along the way, it tapered off. So we’re bringing her back too.
I think this season is teaching me that wellness is not about becoming more rigid with yourself.
It’s about learning when to soften, when to listen and when to loosen the grip.
Because your body changes.
Your seasons change.
And your routines are allowed to change too.
This is your reminder that you do not need to earn your health through punishment.
Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is loosen your grip a little and let wellness feel good again 🥹✨
