The aim is not to exercise more. The aim is to use movement to support energy and regulation.
"Setbacks aren't failures. They're information about what your structure needs."
WAYS TO ADD MOVEMENT GENTLY
• Short walks
• Stretching breaks
• Movement after stress
• Standing during tasks
• Enjoyable physical activity
Movement should feel supportive, not punishing.
IF MOVEMENT FEELS DIFFICULT
If movement feels hard:
• Start with very small steps
• Focus on frequency, not duration
• Remove pressure
• Choose what feels safe
Energy often follows movement — not the other way around.
