My viewpoint differs from much conventional wisdom. I have watched so many clients, as well as myself, try to follow conventional wisdom without success.
I encourage you to pay attention, to listen to yourself, to experiment. You may be expecting reminders that scare or threaten or guilt-trip you into exercising. It is possible I will slip at some point and a little of those flavors may leak into a reminder from time to time. If so, my apologies. It is not my intention.
In my years of working with individual clients, I have consistently seen the negative results of the fear-threat-guilt-and-punishment approach. My reminders help you own your life and your choices, help you pay attention respectfully to what works for you and what doesn’t. They help you reach for a gentle, appreciative, collaborative relationship with your body and with exercise. It doesn’t have to be an ongoing battle. It can become a delight and a treat in your life!
If you’re tired of feeling bad about yourself because conventional advice doesn’t get you moving, please give these reminders a try!
