I listen to my favourite music(kpop) and I try to distance myself from distractions such as devices, siblings and schoolwork.
since im a very athletic person , i always stretch to remind myself of what im about to do (dance , track , cheer , etc .) .
I just compare it to something that is more challenging, like a 15 min intense workout. I definitely don’t feel like doing that but I also want to keep my body moving, so what’s the middle ground here a 10 min stretch, that’s it! This is what my internal dialogue sounds like every morning when the stretch challenge shows up. Hiepnthis helps😊
After I get up and drink water and take kids to school. I have to mentally keep telling myself that I am going to do this it’s just 1-7 minutes out of my life and I owe it to myself. Cuz I Love Me Hope this will be helpful for you. I had brain and neck surgery and was on so many meds. I finally told my doctor no more meds. So she suggested Wegovy to me it’s an injection for diabetics but I do t have diabetes. In 4 months I’ve lost 20lbs with the help of this app and I’m eating healthier.
See how you feel before the stretch and after the stretch. I find that if I take that moment to just wake up my body I function better later, so the habit just sticks.
Sometimes I don’t feel like stretching, but when the reminder from this app pops up, I get myself to do it and I always feel so great after! And when another day it’s difficult to do it again I try to remember how great I felt afterwards!
My muscles are constantly sore because I am someone who does a lot of strenuous physical activity. I try to stretch before and after a workout, but sometimes I forget and sometimes I need a little extra stretching to make sure my muscles aren’t hurting and my body is right where it needs to be. Once I started stretching as a habit in the morning and at nighttime, I noticed a difference in the way my body felt and soon I couldn’t go back. This little habit made me feel incredible and I never want to miss a day.
It’s not easy for me to form healthy habits. However, I have noticed that stretching improves my movement at work and helps wake me up in the morning!
Making it almost the absolute first thing I do in the morning. Since I workout these stretches almost feel like a reward. So reframing the experience into a reward has also helped. Finally I do face and hand and ankle stretches when I am stopped at certain stoplights. I associate these stretches with those stoplights so it’s sort of a game !
I felt the need of it due to the soreness and pain of staying at my desk all day long. I just very simply started doing it for 1 minute, one muscle in particular and I found myself enjoying it
