10 min per day > 1 hour per week
I am convinced that doing 10 minutes of exercise every day is better than 1 hour per week.
And I'm going to prove it to you!
Let’s take the example of my client, P.
P is a busy man. He knew he wasn't moving enough, but he wanted to start small.
We met for a 1-hour yoga class so I could see what he needed. Then I created a 10-minute routine he could do on his own.
After a couple of weeks, he told me that because he gets up a bit earlier to do this routine, he goes to bed earlier.
And since he goes to bed earlier, he eats a lighter dinner and doesn’t snack mindlessly.
During the rest of the day, he feels better because he moved in the morning. And since he started the day doing something good for his health, he’s less tempted to take decisions that go against this trend.
✨ Bonus: when you move in the morning, you get rid of the tightness that accumulated during the night. If you don't, the tightness settles night after night. (I explain this in more detail in this article: Fascia – and why you feel even less flexible in the morning)
So I’d argue that he also gains more flexibility overall.
The impact of 10 tiny minutes on his daily life is huge.
If instead he did a full hour every week, it would be much better than nothing, of course. But it wouldn't have such an impact on his well-being.
If that sounds like what you need, I'm opening just 2 more spaces in February. Reply to this email or answer these questions and I'll tell you if I can help you and how!
Om, peace 🧡

Our minds loooove to get fixated on some thoughts. Did I make the right decision? Which path should I choose? Why are they acting this way? If you're feeling stuck, I'd like you to give these a try. First, JOURNAL. You wouldn’t believe how helpful it is to write down your thoughts. Rumination happens when you’re stuck on the same thoughts that you can’t untangle. Your brain rehashes the same thoughts over and over again in the hopes that something will start to make sense. Writing down your...
How can we avoid letting other people's emotions affect our own mental state? I recently had a few people telling me their manager struggles with dealing with their own stress, which puts a lot of pressure on their team. I've been there before and it's not fun. Whether it's your boss or your partner going through a stressful time... it can take a serious toll on both your relationship and your mental health. So how do we avoid letting this happen? It's important to differentiate 3 things:...
Or rather, you can have it all, but not well and at the same time. Career, family, friends, health, hobbies… Something’s got to give. I think burn-out happens when we try to do everything well at the same time. And the sad thing is… when our health collapses, everything else follows. Our lives are made of seasons, and we regularly need to take a step back and decide what we want our priority to be. It needs to be intentional, otherwise other people’s priorities will take over. Journal on this...
