THE WORK
Follow Women Who Walk Win

Does a “Women Who Walk, Win” group feel exciting for you?
If not, what does? Weekly book club? Weekly yoga in the park?
Decide, and then do it.

Ask yourself these questions from a place of excitement.

• Are you a Heidi?
• Do you have success and yet struggle to enjoy it?
  Like Heidi, list the things you want. It’s an exercise in
  awareness of what you don’t want.
• Right now, go into your phone, and set three daily
  alarms, every day at the same time and name them
  “Presence, Pause.”
  When the alarms go off, set a one-minute timer. In that
  time, get present. Look at where you are, what’s
  around you, and touch the surface around you. What
  do you see, smell, feel? This exercise will start to
  change your ability to be present.
• Set a reminder on your phone. Mine is 9:00 p.m., and
  it says, “Time to unwind, beautiful lassie.” What will
  yours say? What time will you set it?

My phone is placed in another room at that point, and it’s
my signal to my body to get ready for bed.

• Commit to moving your body for thirty minutes every
  day. If you do six days and the seventh day you don’t
  show up for yourself, start again.

I love to walk but also love the gym, yoga, biking, surfing,
and hiking. What is your favorite way to move your body? You
do not need to commit to sixty- and ninety-minute workouts
to get the benefits. Research in this area is very conclusive:
thirty minutes of movement is all you need for overall health
and wellbeing.

Heidi committed to yoga. Why? She loves it. Stop doing all
the movement you think you need, and instead mix it up. Keep
it fun and enjoyable. If thirty minutes feels overwhelming, do
what I did. I started at ten minutes a day and built up to what
felt empowering.

Remember, this work is about choosing to UnFollow
everything you have been taught and choosing to Follow what
feels empowering to your ONE.Life. Movement is medicine.
Let it be.

• What could prevent me from growing my trust in
  myself?
• Identify the barriers, both internal and external, that
  may be hindering your self-trust. Is it past failures,
  fear of judgement, or perhaps lack of self-awareness?
• What past experiences have eroded my trust in
  myself?
  Reflect on specific instances where your self-trust
  took a hit. How have these experiences shaped your
  current level of self-trust?
• What affirmations or mantras can you use to reinforce
  trust in yourself?
  Craft empowering statements that you can repeat to
  yourself in moments of doubt. What words resonate
  with you on this journey?
• When have you successfully trusted your instincts and
  what was the outcome?
  Recall instances where trusting yourself led to
  positive results. How can you apply those lessons to
  future situations?
• What activities or practices make you feel most in
  touch with your inner wisdom?
  Identify actions or routines that help you tune into
  your inner voice. How can you incorporate these into
  your daily life?
• What role do external influences (friends, family,
  media) play in your level of self-trust?
  Examine the impact of outside voices on your ability
  to trust yourself. Are they bolstering your self-trust or
  undermining it?
• How can you measure the growth of yourself over
  time?
  Consider benchmarks or signs that will indicate you
  are growing self-trust. Is it taking more risks, seeking
  less external validation, or something else?
