I am 24 and already suffering from lots of hip/neck/shoulder/back pains. All my muscles are just incredibly tense all the time, to the point where the muscles cramp up and give me awful headaches (though thankfully only for a few seconds). The way to improve all this tension? Movement, apparently. I have now set several timers to make sure I dont sit still for multiple hours on end. So far have only noticed small improvements, but Id recommend y'all to give it a go as well. Maybe it can prevent some more serious muscle pains for you x.

Not necessarily adding extra movement but being intentional and present whenever I’m using my body. Walking up a hill? I’ll consciously align my heels under my shoulders. Lifting a case of wine? Hit that squat deep and lift solely with my legs. Sitting on couch brainrotting? Adjust that spine and reach the top of the head to the ceiling. Resting my hand on my husbands soft curls? Turn that into a scalp massage.
If you’re struggling with being active, focus on getting the most out of what you do every day before adding in extra movement. Master your daily rhythm and use every opportunity you can to connect your mind to your muscles, you will automatically be less anxious, more present, and far less likely to hurt yourself.

I've been trying to build up my chronically ill body to do more movement so I've been doing this 10 minute stretch every day for the past month. My body feels so good afterwards and I've started craving it in my achey bones.

Yes it’s annoying to start building this habit but I SWEAR it’s life changing!! My back hurts way less + I can move freely like Im actually my age and not 98

As y'all might know, I'm a climber. Which is fun, cute, sexy and I recommend everyone to become one. Only downside is that it's def a male dominated sport. There's plenty of girls who climb, but a large majority (in our gym) is male. Meaning that the likelihood of going on an outdoor climbing trip without men.. is small. Unless, of course, you organise a girls-only climbing trip. I would highly recommend doing so. Men r great but it's also nice to only be surrounded by girls who know what's it like to climb when you have a menstrual cycle and don't have a natural knack for dynamic power. Made me feel supported, seen and connected.

Feels like the adult alternative to sleepovers as a kid. Telling eachother your deepest secrets and scariest truths while laying in the dark. Seeing the hours on your clock pass steadily, knowing it'll be a bitch to wake up in the morning but thinking that it's worth it.
