dLg #6 - Move- ment- do you?
Consider this- ment (meant) to move (yes, playing with grammar here). It's about sharing our thinking to stimulate yours.
The thinking is that we are meant to move- it is what and who we are as humans.
Yet we live in a more passive way than ever before. Lack of movement slows us down by making us less effective, unproductive and, worst of all, we overthink and create stress. In addition, when we move less, it's terrible for our health; lack of movement affects us in so many ways- biologically, physically, psychologically and physiologically, much more than we choose to consider most of the time.
Movement is not about how much- it's about starting. However small, that is. So whatever you have been putting off- give it a go- it was me(a)nt to move today.
Examples could be:
Move your body
every hour if you have to work at a desk (put a timer on your phone for 5 mins every hour)
get a stand-up desk. They work
to get a treadmill desk again. They allow you to be moving (movement creates creative thought too)
Move a project/ thought/ idea/ or if you are stuck
We coach 1:1:1. It's a simple movement concept.
What one priority must you do today (Remember priorities are and can only be in the one, it's not a priority if it's a list of them!)
What one conversation can you have today to move your priority forward?
What one action will you do today to create movement?
Give it a go and let us know.

Consider the etymology of the word movement (n.) (taken from https://www.etymonline.com/word/movement)
Movement is not about how much- it's about starting; however small that movement is.
late 14c., mevement, "change of position; passage from place to place," from Old French movement "movement, exercise; start, instigation" (Modern French mouvement), from Medieval Latin movimentum, from Latin movere "to move, set in motion" (from PIE root *meue- "to push away"). In the musical sense of "major division of a piece" it is attested from 1776; in the political/artistic/social sense, of "course of acts and endeavours by a body of persons toward some specific end" is from 1828.
