  Good morning from the very quiet.
• 0:30
  Cook this morning had so much rain, and I think they're just
• 0:33
  all so chilled out right now. It's crazy.
• 0:36
  But they're all sitting here staring at me and just kind of
• 0:39
  hanging out on their little porch.
• 0:41
  So anyway, let's dive in, let's talk about moving.
• 0:46
  I'm not talking about moving your house or moving car or
• 0:51
  moving jobs, I'm talking about moving your butt.
• 0:54
  And why am I talking about moving your, but well, besides
• 0:57
  the obvious health benefits of moving Moving your butt and
• 1:01
  getting up and you know, walking your your moments in during the
• 1:06
  day to make sure that you're getting in your right amount of
• 1:08
  stuffs. And I know, I know, I know that
• 1:10
  10,000 steps is an arbitrary number and no big deal, but it
• 1:14
  does get you moving. And for those of you who ever
• 1:17
  follow me, you know, I am an Ardent.
• 1:19
  Fitbit supporter, I love the Fitbit.
• 1:22
  I wear it non-stop every day. And last year, I logged over 5
• 1:27
  million steps which I am. Like totally stoked about.
• 1:33
  However, we're not talking, just about that.
• 1:35
  We're talking about the fact that yes, there's a huge health
• 1:39
  benefit to that. And I will say that by walking
• 1:43
  steps after steps after steps, I took off a good deal of weight,
• 1:47
  40 pounds that I didn't realize creeped up on me when I was
• 1:51
  moved to South Carolina but in any event I'm talking about why
• 1:57
  we move for our mind, our mind set.
• 2:00
  What? The great thing about movement
• 2:02
  and walking, you know, we've all heard it are in fact, are for
• 2:08
  ever great grandparents, grandparents, everyone knew you
• 2:11
  had to clear your head. They'd say, go take a walk,
• 2:13
  clear your head because the to coincide it and it's just
• 2:19
  getting out. It's getting up.
• 2:20
  And it's getting moving. Einstein knew about this.
• 2:23
  And he would take all of his classes on walks with him,
• 2:26
  whether it was snowing or not. He would get them up and he
• 2:29
  would make them move. And he would say Let's go clear
• 2:31
  our heads walk and talk because walking and talking makes a big
• 2:36
  difference, any of you who are clients of mine know that I walk
• 2:40
  and talk to you all the time because it's where I have my
• 2:43
  best thoughts, my best ideas. I don't like to sit at a desk.
• 2:46
  It's very, very hard for me and it's not because I have been
• 2:50
  diagnosed with something, it's because it's human to move.
• 2:54
  We are supposed to be moving machines.
• 2:56
  We are constantly supposed to be in motion, so when we are not in
• 3:00
  motion, Our body start to atrophy and it's pretty clear.
• 3:04
  What happens when your body atrophies, you feel like crap
• 3:06
  your mindset goes in the toilet, let's just face it.
• 3:09
  So and happens quickly, if you're sick since we've all been
• 3:13
  coming on this time, when a lot of us have had, you know,
• 3:16
  different thicknesses throughout covid and everything else in
• 3:19
  covid rated things. We know the more you sit the
• 3:21
  worse, it gets and sometimes you have to because your body's
• 3:24
  healing, but your mindset is stifled by it.
• 3:28
  So being able to move Move is a necessity and if you are not
• 3:33
  regularly getting up and you're not regularly moving, and you're
• 3:36
  not doing the things that you need to do to move yourself, to
• 3:40
  keep your brain moving in a forward Direction.
• 3:44
  One of the very first things that you can do is move your
• 3:46
  body because where you put your energy, your emotion will start
• 3:51
  to flow. When you feel like you're stuck,
• 3:52
  at least, you've got that body moving and you start to take a
• 3:55
  deep breath and say, okay? Now it's even better if you can
• 3:58
  do it in nature because No something about nature.
• 4:01
  Just heals you something about being out with the trees,
• 4:04
  something about being able to walk, something about doing
• 4:07
  certain things, just kind of heals your soul digging in the
• 4:10
  dirt. I mean, we all know that moving
• 4:12
  and getting in gardening done, boy, that is such a healing
• 4:17
  thing for so many people and not to mention endorphins are fired
• 4:22
  off in your brain because of the smells.
• 4:24
  And the things that you pick up when you are gardening, what
• 4:27
  dirt smells like actually releases endorphins in your Rain
• 4:31
  to have you feel good so that you want to do more of it,
• 4:34
  because that's what our are adaptations.
• 4:37
  Have put with us to make it. So we want to do these things
• 4:41
  for our survival because we by learning to like, to dig.
• 4:45
  Oh boy. That was a good thing for our
• 4:46
  survival. So movement imperative.
• 4:51
  If you don't have a plan for movement during your average
• 4:55
  days, I'm going to encourage you to do so because it is critical
• 4:59
  to your Every it's critical to your mindset, it's critical to
• 5:04
  your growth, it's critical to your happiness.
• 5:07
  I can't think of things that honestly, it's benefits, your
• 5:11
  health. There are so many great things
• 5:13
  so if you don't track your steps, you know, put an app on
• 5:16
  your phone and see how it goes. I just don't always have my
• 5:19
  phone with me. So I don't want to miss out on
• 5:21
  anything because you know, that certainty girl in mind likes to
• 5:24
  make sure that she understands exactly where I'm getting all my
• 5:27
  steps from. So I encourage you to do that.
• 5:30
  A Fitbit if you like and there's no endorsement here from Fitbit.
• 5:34
  I'm just putting it out there because I love the product.
• 5:37
  But try to get yourself moving because I promise you it will
• 5:40
  unplug a lot for you and it will do you a world of good.
• 5:44
  So move move, move and get your butt in gear.
• 5:48
  So I hope this was helpful. And if today, if you're in an
• 5:50
  office all day and you're stuck there, make sure you set the
• 5:53
  timer to say, okay, at least 45 minutes, I'm going to get up in
• 5:58
  an hour. I'm going to walk and maybe that
• 6:00
  5 turns 210 and maybe the 10 turns into 15 because ideally,
• 6:03
  if you could do you could walk for, you know, 15 minutes out of
• 6:07
  45, that would be amazing. You'd be surprised how it would
• 6:10
  transform your body so and your mindset.
• 6:14
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day and I will see you
• 6:17
  tomorrow while you're moving on by talk to you soon.
• 6:20
  Bye.
