Today you are in a push-and-pull cycle of physical activity that could result in a few aches and pains. Perhaps you have recently begun a new exercise routine, and your body is still adjusting. Or maybe you're doing more walking than usual or going on hikes. Now is not the time to give up but to continue on a steady course. You could read about common injuries or mistakes people make specific to the activity you're participating in today, and adjust your approach to your body's specifications. Pay attention to your body, and give yourself permission to slow down if you start to feel uncomfortable or strained. When the strain subsides, you can continue your usual activity.

When physical activity causes discomfort, we can slow down and be more patient with our bodies instead of becoming discouraged and giving up. If you're in an active physical routine, it's good to stick with it, especially when it becomes a little difficult. Our bodies become more capable if we push them every so often, albeit with patience and care. If we stop moving at the first sign of discomfort, starting again is difficult, and we can become discouraged. Stick with your routine today, and you will cultivate pride in yourself and your body.
