Everyday Happiness - Finding Harmony and Bliss
Education:Self-Improvement
We continue our series on happiness through exercise by talking about movement ideas. Tune in to see what you can do!
Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and we’re still talking about exercise, but now, we’ve reframed that into movement and everything feels right.
If you listened to the last 2 days, you may have caught that I’m settling into this idea of “movement” instead of “exercise” and I can say, I’m liking it. A little reframing in my mind and a little tweak of the wording made all the difference for me. What I know for sure is that there are a million ways to do anything, you have to find what works for you.
Today is about finding the joy in moving. The biggest shift comes from changing your mindset between exercising and that dark urge to change your body. We can do that by concentrating instead and how the exercise makes us feel. The goal of exercise should be that it brings you some sort of joy and happiness.
One idea is: You start with being present and mindful in whatever movement you choose.
Yoga is a good one for this. But it could be anything. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you why tennis worked for me.
If you want to dig more into this podcast that I was inspired by, you can listen to Laurie Santos episode 20 of The Happiness Lab.
Think about how you experience your body not as the way it looks but as what you can’t see reframing movement in this way can lead to greater happiness
