Hello Reader, Aasia here!
Have you ever caught yourself saying things like, “I wish I had more time in the day” or “I wish I had the motivation to move my body?”
I used to find myself saying the same things until I began to shift my perspective. Movement became so much easier and much more attainable once I realized it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. I didn't need to dedicate one full hour at the gym for it to "count."
Mario and I love being active. Whether we're heading outdoors for a hike, attending a fitness class, or even doing 10 squats after a meal (IYKYK 😜), movement is just part of our routine. In fact, our date nights almost always consist of doing something active together. We love prioritizing our health and our quality time at the same time.
One of the easiest ways to make goals stick is by having an accountability partner.
In Atomic Habits, James Clear defines an accountability partner as someone who witnesses your commitment to a habit and helps you stay on track. He argues that we care deeply about the opinions of others, making external accountability one of the strongest drivers for behavioural change.
I hope this inspires you to "do the thing" this week! Hit up that trail you’ve been wanting to hike, or book that workout class you’ve been eyeing. Whatever way you decide to move your body, grab a partner and make it fun.
