Life is like...
no, not a box of chocolates
I was rather thinking about this quote by Albert Einstein:
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. đ˛
The wind is blowing like crazy here in Gordonâs Bay. You better not leave loose papers on the table and expect them to still be there when you get back. Theyâll be âinspired to moveâ all over the place! đŹď¸
Which inspired todayâs theme: movement.
Movement as renewable resource
Movement is a renewable resource, but unlike other commodities, it renews through use; your future movement is made possible by movements youâre doing today.
~ Katy Bowman
Movement as reset button
Think of movement as a reset button that restores your natural state of flow.
~ Ingrid Fetell Lee
Movement as interaction with the world
The entire purpose of the human brain is to produce movement. Movement is the only way we have of interacting with the world.
~ Daniel Wolpert
Movement to make things happen
Nothing happens until something moves.
~ Albert Einstein
Movement for joy
Joyful movements are fast, big, and vertical. Happiness bounces, leaps and jumps. It is upward-facing and expansive. A joyful body reaches out, looks to the sky and takes up space.
~ Kelly McGonigal
Want the short version?
Move now so that you can move tomorrow.
Move when you are stuck.
Move to interact with the world.
Move to make things happen.
If youâre feeling down in the dumps, jump or reach up to the sky to change your mood.
All the best for 2026!
