Principle 9: Movement—Feel the Difference

Focus on How You Feel, Not How You Look 😊🔥
Instead of thinking about calories burned or muscle tone, pay attention to how movement affects your mood, stress, and energy levels. Feeling lighter, more centered, or simply content is a win—no aesthetic changes required.

Sometimes the appropriate number of squats really is diddly. 😂

Movement matters. It supports strength, mobility, mood, sleep, and health in all sorts of ways. But rest matters too. Our bodies need downtime for recovery, repair, and simply being human.

In a culture that treats constant productivity as a virtue, choosing to rest can actually take some courage. You don't have to earn it by exercising first, finishing your to-do list, or being sufficiently exhausted.

Some days call for movement. Some days call for recovery. And some days you may accomplish diddly squat—and that can be exactly what you needed. 💛🛋️

Principle 9: Movement—Feel the Difference

Find Movement You Truly Enjoy 🎾🎨
Experiment until you discover activities you genuinely look forward to. Maybe it’s swimming, rock climbing, yoga, or a fun dance class. Enjoyment is key—when movement feels like play, it’s far easier to stay consistent without resentment.

Having needs: perfectly normal human condition.
Actually admitting to having them: absolutely unacceptable vulnerability. 😂💜

It can feel surprisingly uncomfortable to say, “I need help,” “I need some reassurance,” “I need more rest,” or even “I need you to do something differently.” Especially if we’ve learned that being easygoing, independent, or accommodating is somehow more virtuous.
But having needs doesn’t make us “needy.” We can practice noticing what we need, accepting it without judgment, and trusting that it’s reasonable to try to meet those needs—sometimes for ourselves and sometimes by asking other people.
And yes, asking means we may occasionally hear no. But we’re still allowed to ask.

Needs: 10/10. Having to communicate them: deeply inconvenient. 😆

❤️‍🩹 Self-compassion phrases are like little reminders of kindness we offer ourselves when we need a moment of support or comfort. When you're feeling emotional pain or discomfort, pause and gently ask yourself, "What words do I need to hear right now, spoken just for me?" 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Principle 9: Movement—Feel the Difference

Redefine Exercise as Movement 🤸‍♀️🎵
Let go of rigid workout rules and think of movement as any way your body likes to be active—dancing in your kitchen, stretching, gardening, or walking your dog. Moving in ways that bring joy rather than obligation helps you connect with your body and boosts mood naturally.

Some friends cry with you. Onions make sure you have no choice. 🧅😭

When you cut into an onion, damaged cells release enzymes that ultimately produce a volatile sulfur-containing compound. It wafts up to your eyes, irritates the nerves there, and your tear glands respond by trying to wash it away.
In other words, the onion is injured and somehow you’re the one crying. Rude.
A sharp knife can help by damaging fewer cells, and chilling the onion first can slow down the chemical reactions a bit.

Still worth it, though. We forgive you, onion. 💜🧅
