Health is just as important as making peace with your body. You heard it! Exercise, sleep, controlling our stress levels, these are all things that are just as important for our mind as they are for our body but learning to be kind to ourselves is essential in finding peace with your body.
Exercise. Love it or hate it, it is necessary for a healthy lifestyle.
For too long society has been way to focused on exercise being a weight/ fat loss tool instead of a wellness tool. We need to change our mindset and include it into our everyday lives. As a Burnout Recovery coach for moms, I constantly hear moms complaining about not having enough time to exercise. Here is the thing though, by saying that we do not have time, we are saying it is not important enough. Instead, we could look at movement as a form of self-care.
