Your job, is to continue to LEARN, SHOW UP and take ACTION - just like Trennt.

The Canadian 2025 Report Card on Physical Activity for Adults, and how only 32% of us are hitting the recommended MINIMUM of 7500 steps per day for health and wellbeing. That's a scary stat eh? 68% of Canadian Adults are NOT meeting the MINIMUM daily movement for health.

These incredibly powerful words can serve as a reminder to all of us, that the simplest things in life (like speaking from the heart and following our heart) can create the most amazing life.

As of this morning, my body has done 690 pushups (and counting), with next to NO effort or brain power

Just because something is in our mind, doesn't mean it's true.

This powerful poem speaks volumes about a foundational part of SLOWING DOWN - YOU!

We get caught up in the "busy-ness" of modern life and we ADD MORE noise/stuff/stress on top of those same things that have us feeling low and unhealthy. STOP building MORE up. START taking things AWAY.

All of these posts and conversations are to get us to SLOW down enough to understand HOW these times make us FEEL and HOW they impact our HEALTH. Stress in all forms IS essential to our lives. It helps us grow, learn and become more resilient. Chronic stress however (in this case chronic "busy-ness") is NOT healthy

Change only feels hard because it's NEW and DIFFERENT from our current "default mode". Practice the change you want, and it will BE your new "default mode".

Once again, we want to find our BALANCE. A little searching and busy-ness, paired with a little action (on ourselves) and slowing down for a bit will have you feeling drastically different in your energy levels and wellbeing.

Your individual existence is a near-miraculous event, occurring against "stupendous odds,"...

I'm NOT going to comment further or add anything to this beautifully worded poem. I will suggest writing it out, reading it again and again, and letting these words sink in deep.

SLOWING DOWN and SAYING "NO" is NEVER a bad thing when it's for YOUR HEALTH. We ALL need to practice this FACT more.

It sets my mind on a track to do this as my day unfolds. I know, even when I'm busy or feeling a bit rushed - it's ONE minute.

A week into the challenge, I noticed she had marked NOTHING. Again, it's totally optional, but I found this odd for HER.

Leaving "cracks in the foundation" is practiced CONSTANTLY in our modern society, because we all just want to be "THERE". At the goal. At the end point, where we think "everything will be great".

Slowing down, especially during busy times like the holidays, is a STRENGTH that will feel SO GOOD you can only understand by EXPERIENCING IT FOR YOURSELF.
