I was able to do my first workout today in about three months due to a very rough start to my pregnancy! So nice to have some energy back and be able to ease back into exercise - I missed it. The pregnancy filter is great, but would love to hear any other pregnancy faves from the mamas in the group :)
I just wanted to do a self shout out 😆 I am celebrating my 3 YEAR M/BODY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉 I started M/BODY just after my second baby (now I have 3!) during a time I felt lost due to COVID some postpartum anxiety and blues mixed in there. I have to say looking back I am so freaking proud of all I have come through and accomplished! So thank you Marnie and M/Body family! Xoxo
Happy 5 years yall!!!
We made this video to celebrate but it was hard finding everyone in the fam without Marnie knowing! Sonplease add any sentiments, videos, photos below of celebrating this amazing half decade of movement, community and love!
Thank you for being my fam!!! Love yall!!!
CREATIVITY ACTIVITY #2: Creativity Date
Take yourself on a creativity date.
This week is all about rediscovering your creative playfulness.
Some creativity date inspo:
Head to the Dollar Store and buy tiny things like gold stars, sequins, or pom poms and just go crazy!
Take yourself out to a movie.
Get a coloring book.
Check out a free museum.
Make a wildflower bouquet.
Go on a nature walk and collect pretty rocks.
It doesn't need to be extravagant or expensive. It just needs to feel like something special and specific to YOU.
Remember, the point of this date is to have fun and connect with your inner child.
We'd love to hear all about the date you take yourself on, so please comment and share your pics here!
Hey lovelies!!! Who else is dying for Marnie to come to NYC this spring/summer?!?!? 🖐️🙏😎❤️
CREATIVITY ACTIVITY #1: Blurts and Affirmations
Make a blurts and affirmation list.
Blurts are any negative or self-critical thoughts that surface when you unleash your creativity. Your affirmations counteract these blurts by replacing them with positive, empowering statements that reshape your internal narrative.
Examples:
Blurt: I always mess things up.
Affirmation: I am learning and growing every day.
Blurt: What I want doesn’t matter.
Affirmation: My desires and dreams are important.
Blurt: You’re just wasting your time.
Affirmation: Every creative act I pursue enriches my life.
The practice of replacing blurts with positive affirmations leverages neuroplasticity and can re-train our brain, turning negative self-talk into empowering beliefs!
NEW THEME + ACTIVITY INTRO
Happy April and month of Creativity! For this new season, we’re going to try something fresh — each week there will be a fun activity posted on the Community Board. Every activity is designed to nurture your creativity and growth.
We also encourage you to get a journal and explore doing longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing every morning — no judgment, no expectations, just whatever lands on the page (try to aim for 15 minutes).
We'd love to be a part of your journey, so please comment and share your experience here as inspiration 🤍
Check back here tomorrow for your first Creativity Activity 🎨
I'll have to catch the 5 year anniversary class on the flippy flop which bums me out. 5 Years of working out virtually with this fantastic G/Family, and Marnie for 11 years, makes me so whole I can't describe it. but you guys know. I'm getting verklempt.. Have a wonderful Wonderful live experience. Marnie, you know how I feel about you, you goddess you. I am missing the live to attend the City of 29 Palms Strategic Planning Session and try to, among other things, convince the city manager not to give away precious resources and land to developments who will harm the natural flora and fauna of Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding areas. Why it's on a Saturday from 10-3? ..Desert style. Remember to Breathe. Open your eyes and look in to the light. xo
Hey fam!
I'm hitting the road again on a 6 week tour, been a few years since I've been away for so long! I'm excited and nervous and hoping all this work pays off. Marnies message in today's class about being on the brink of something big when feeling stuck really hit me, as I've been dealing with discouragement with my new album coming out and the technical difficulties surrounding that. These are normal feelings and I don't judge them but it is what it is. On top of family drama just hoping for a safe, fun and somewhat profitable trip as this winter put me out of work for two months after being sick. Just being vulnerable in the safest place I know 💙 Leaving in ten days, send safety and strength energy and of course if this route is near any of yall I'd love to hug you in my travels 💙
Also, my new album Halfway Decent comes out April 1st, so I'm trying to celebrate that with the spring time sun best I can 💙 listen if you like weird music 💙 love yall so much 💙 grateful for the best half a decade in my life (so far🤞)
Hi fam! I just had such a powerful workout experience I have to share! Fullbody flow 380.I have something going on which is causing me such anxiety and as soon as I got into the workout I felt this big rush of anger. And I kind of realised that as a 'nice girl' this is not an emotion I really allow myself to be in so it was getting all twisted up as out of control anxiety. The situation is still a mess but at least now I am not all knotted up and there is something about this anger energy which is very dynamic and maybe what I need to sort stuff out. Those are my thoughts! plus I get a shout in workout 380 which is always nice 😍
