Putting Your Body First: Breath, Posture, Movement & Exercise

Are you putting your body first today?

Did you know that moving your body can set you up for a day where you feel more calm, confident, creative and collaborative? 

Putting your body first reduces stress, builds resilience, boosts learning and memory, instills confidence and self-trust, sparks joy, increases desire, and so much more!

Having a consistent morning routine that includes some kind of physical activity – even better if it's outside – is having good brain hygiene.

Your brain (and every other organ in your body) needs you to move so that it can function optimally. 

Moving – through strength, endurance and flexibility exercises, and good old physical activity (walking, biking, housework, sex!) – benefits your nervous system, circulatory system, lymphatic system, metabolic system, digestive system, endocrine system. All the systems!

In the above video for Day 1 of UNLEASH 2022, a 5 day workshop series from my amazing business coach Brenda Rigney highlighting some of the guest mentors for her 12-month group coaching program called Aligned AF, I share 6 important ways to put your body first:

  1. Breath

  2. Posture

  3. Physical activity

  4. Strength

  5. Endurance

  6. Flexibility


If you want to make an impact with the work you do, and live a happy life fueled by vitality, you don't have time to put your body second – or third, or last.

Shift your mindset to put your body first.
