kind to yourself. There will be days when motivation takes
a vacation, and that's okay. Don't beat yourself up. Just
pick it back up tomorrow. Remember this is a journey,

traffic late for an important meeting. Your heart's racing, your
mind's racing, and the only thing on your mind is
that pile of work waiting at the office. You're about

(02:48):
to hip peak stress level, right, but wait, you remember
what we talked about today. Instead of letting that anger beled,
you take a few deep breaths, focusing on the rhythm
of your inhale and excite. Well. Then you do some
simple stretches in your car, neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, maybe
even a quick seated twist. Then suddenly you feel shift.

(03:11):
Your breath slows down, tension eases, and you're able to
approach that meeting with a clear head and a condemeanor. See,
movement doesn't have to be complicated. Even small actions can
make a big difference in managing stress. So my friends,
remember these key takeaways. Move your body from mental clarity.
Physical activity is like hitting the reset button on your brain.

stress reduction, combining physical movement with mindful breathing and meditation
