Hi all— tomorrow I get on a plane, the first one in 3 years. About 5 years ago I developed an extreme fear of flying, after an emergency trip for a funeral. I’m doing breath work, acknowledging my fear, collecting what strategies I can.. but honestly I’m afraid. I haven’t always been afraid of flying, I used to think it was amazing, and could even sleep on a flight. I don’t have to return to that level of comfort, but any prayers, vibes, love, you send I’ll think of as I fidget with my •in the light• bracelet on the plane will be much appreciated. I hate being afraid, hate admitting to that fear, and I just want to be able to enjoy the miracle that is flying. Anyway, thank you all, and sending my love as we all find the sun for 15min today.

Day 6 Wellness Activity of basking in sunlight… sad a sick pine tree was cut down this week in my small yard, so attempting to catch up on work paperwork from the sunny tree stump before my next client. Grateful for work from home days as my office doesn’t have a window.

Back on the mat after 6 weeks (my last Marnie session was a day before going into labor🤪) while my little girl was napping. I started my “own” version of the challenge on tuesday but I was a bit worried as to how to ease myself back in as in the end I had to have an emergency c-section. Luckily, Marnie and the team had it all figured out and the 20 min standing core dance was just what I needed to start engaging with my core again!Couldn’t join the live yesterday but look forward to giving it a go today💪🏻🙏🏻Sending love to you all💗xx

Thankful for all the good vibes this community brings!!

I'm joining the 60 day challenge!!!

My intention is to support my mental health and vitality to keep up with the challenges I've faced with my beautiful daughter since giving birth as she has cerebral palsy.

I took a break from M/Body for a while my Spirit moved through this passage into special needs motherhood, but I'm ready to come back to myself in the way that Marnie Alton classes always helps me do! Yihuuuu

I was looking forward to this live session the whole day. I am a communication trainer in Austria 🇦🇹, I m working for big industries worldwide, running my own business… being emphatic all day, helping people reaching their communication goals is energy draining, cause you always give parts of yourself in trainings too 🫶🏼. With Marnie‘s live sessions and YOU my GLOBAL FAM, I can really recharge and focus on myself, my body and soul while we are working out together ! 🤸🏼💗 this is joy and cure at the same time for me! xxx Nina

Needed this challenge to motivate me to get moving again. Especially opening up hips since I am carpooling kids all day, everyday!🤪 Thank you, Marnie for your windshield analogy. It couldn’t have come at a better time! I love all of your quotes. Complete gems.

I’ve seen so many posts saying that this is your first challenge. I wanted to share my experience with past challenges. And how the extra wellness activities specifically in the challenge have benefited me.

I’ve only ever completed 2 out of the 7 challenges we’ve had. And that’s ok! There is nothing wrong with stopping midway or adjusting your schedule to suit your needs.

The extra wellness activities I still have in my daily routine are :

Drinking lemon water (I actually crave it now. I drink it with warm water in the winter).

Doing the warm up shakes and the little runs and stretches every morning right after I get up. This helps release my jaw and shoulders that I know get during my sleep because of various stressors. It gives me a a big positive boost to start the day and it only takes about 3 minutes.

Journaling. Ok I’ve always loved journaling. But it’s so therapeutic that even when I’m tired I write about my stressors in the evening.

Challenging negative thoughts. This is my favourite. When Marnie says “learn that it’s ok to be uncomfortable, learn you can still be safe and strong.” As someone diagnosed with anxiety, this is a powerful statement, one my therapists have used before. It just makes it sink into your bones even deeper when Marnie says it while you are working out and getting stronger.

Meditating& practicing gratitude. “We expand in the areas we are grateful for,” - Marnie workout 150. Even when there’s chaos around you. I’m fortunate that I work from home most of the time while my partner works away from home so I have lots of space to sit quietly and work on gratitude (it’s a challenge even when there’s peace and quiet!).

Learning it’s ok to stumble and fall. Still working on this one. I’ll let you know how it goes heehee.

Tldr: you’ve come to the best place in the world, for your body and mind. I love Marnie, this community and the challenges, regardless of whether or not I complete them.

Welcome! ❤️
