Let’s stop forcibly cramming so much “fun” into every life event (holidays, births, weddings, pets) that life no longer is fun. Let fun movement be an essential part of your life.
Movement is Mind Medicine
Movement=happy. Or at least it should. And why the 150 minutes of exercise a week is a lie told because we can’t handle the truth.
