00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:34.570
Hello and welcome back.
00:00:34.729 --> 00:00:40.490
So today's episode is a spin on a previous topic.
00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:52.329
So in the summer, the UK had a massive heat wave, and I was sharing how you could still move even in the heat and keep yourselves motivated.
00:00:53.129 --> 00:01:02.170
So we're now heading into the colder weather, the darker nights, and I'm going to come and give you some motivation of a different angle.
00:01:02.489 --> 00:01:04.810
Because I know I've been feeling it myself.
00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:12.090
So I work full-time, I run my dance and movement stuff, and I do Aura Flame.
00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:24.170
Um and recently I've been finding that as much as I'm motivated for Aura Flame, I've been really pushing that, that actually the movement stuff has gone very quiet.
00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:37.609
I've been sharing some tips for hen parties, the little bit of first dance, but actually that side of it, I haven't been talking about it, and I'm not really pushing it as much as I want to be.
00:01:37.929 --> 00:01:41.929
And it got me thinking, why?
00:01:43.209 --> 00:01:45.369
And the reason was motivation.
00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:47.450
I haven't got any bookings.
00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:51.129
Which should actually be the opposite.
00:01:51.289 --> 00:01:57.609
I should be more motivated to promote and talk about all of the benefits of it to get the bookings in, right?
00:01:58.009 --> 00:02:00.170
Reverse psychology, you know.
00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:12.729
Um, but the more I delved into it, the more I realized that actually, if I'm struggling to motivate myself in this time, you're probably gonna be having the same.
00:02:12.969 --> 00:02:20.969
So it gets into the colder, snuggly evenings, and the last thing we definitely want to be doing is going out again.
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:24.890
It's wet, it's cold, it's getting dark.
00:02:25.210 --> 00:02:35.689
We just want to cozy up on the sofa with our hot chocolate, or obviously it's pumpkin spice season, although I've never actually tried it.
00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:38.969
Um yeah, shoot me now.
00:02:39.130 --> 00:02:42.010
Um, they don't always do it in hot chocolate though, so it's it's one of them.
00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:44.250
I'm not a coffee drinker, I can't drink it.
00:02:44.409 --> 00:02:48.010
Um, but we want to be all cozy and snuggly.
00:02:49.850 --> 00:02:52.650
But that doesn't mean that movement has to stop.
00:02:53.530 --> 00:02:57.450
Our movement can stay exactly the same.
00:02:57.610 --> 00:03:14.010
We can still boogie doing the household chores, we can still park a little bit further away from the entrance, and whereas in the summer we might park the other side of the car park so we get a longer walk.
00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:17.850
In the winter, you might go, oh, but it's really cold and it's wet, and I don't want to be out long.
00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:21.610
Fine, so just park that a little bit further away.
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:31.130
You can still take the steps instead of the lift, so you can still do exactly the same, but our motivation is different.
00:03:31.450 --> 00:03:37.370
So you have to decide what you are now working towards.
00:03:37.610 --> 00:03:49.770
Because in the summer, typically, um, we're doing it because we want to look good in our swimwear, we want to feel good on the beach.
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:52.490
In winter, it's cozy season.
00:03:52.650 --> 00:03:56.010
If you're watching the video version, you'll see that I've already got the jumpers on.
00:03:56.170 --> 00:04:01.930
Um, so our motivation and reason for wanting to move is different.
00:04:02.250 --> 00:04:14.650
It could be that actually the summer was way too hot for you, and that even though I was sharing that you could still be moving, even at a gensler pace, that actually it was too much for you, and you felt really sluggish.
00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:19.370
And yes, it is cozy season, but you don't want to feel sluggish anymore.
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:22.250
So it's still got to be easy.
00:04:22.409 --> 00:04:31.370
And if you know me by now, you know that everything I do is easy, it's got to fit into everyday life, otherwise, it doesn't happen.
00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:44.969
Um, the other day my physio told me off because I hadn't been doing my glute exercises, and he could massively tell the difference because four weeks later I'd basically undone everything he'd done in that one-hour session.
00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:48.889
So he told me off because he really needs me to do those exercises.
00:04:49.289 --> 00:04:56.169
He knows I haven't done them because the motivation isn't there, because it's something I have to add in.
00:04:56.329 --> 00:05:05.129
So we spoke about the ways that I can do my glute exercises and keep on top of the work that we're currently trying to do.
00:05:05.769 --> 00:05:09.129
So add it into my pole dance warm-up.
00:05:09.849 --> 00:05:12.649
Do them during pole dance whilst other people are on the pole.
00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:17.289
Instead of just standing watching, stretch out in between.
00:05:17.689 --> 00:05:20.009
Do them as part of my nighttime routine.
00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:24.569
Just sit and do the exercises I need to do.
00:05:24.810 --> 00:05:27.370
Build it into everyday life.
00:05:27.689 --> 00:05:37.449
Because then as I see the results, because if I do the glute exercises, my pole is going to get better because my hips aren't going to cramp as much.
00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:41.529
I'm going to have the motivation to keep doing them so that I can progress on the pole.
00:05:41.849 --> 00:06:04.490
The same goes for you that if you have been feeling really sluggish lately and you're like, I just want to move and feel better, because yes, whilst I'm saying it's cosy season, we don't have to buy into the dark, the cold, the dreary, the kind of we can make it happy.
00:06:04.969 --> 00:06:06.969
We can make it energized.
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:12.810
You've just got to start, but start small.
00:06:12.969 --> 00:06:13.769
You should know by now.
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:18.089
I always say start small, and that's why I say kitchen boogie.
00:06:18.569 --> 00:06:29.529
Stick the music on, doing the washing up, doing the cooking, doing whatever housework it is that you're doing, put the music on and have a boogie.
00:06:29.849 --> 00:06:32.089
It will instantly lift your mood.
00:06:32.649 --> 00:06:39.129
The minute you lift your mood, the more likely it is you can go, okay, how can I do this more?
00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:43.049
How can I do it without doing something else?
00:06:43.209 --> 00:07:05.289
So whether it is you have a boogie because you have a boogie because and I'm deliberately not answering that sentence because having a boogie just because is valid.
00:07:05.849 --> 00:07:09.370
You don't have to have a reason to have a boogie.
00:07:09.449 --> 00:07:15.529
I've been talking to lots of people recently that love just having a boogie.
00:07:16.889 --> 00:07:21.049
So my invitation to you is to just have a boogie.
00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:29.049
So if you are struggling to find that motivation and you are feeling a bith, like I've done it.
00:07:29.129 --> 00:07:36.810
So at the time of recording this, I came home from the day job and I was like, right, I need to do the podcast, I need to do this, that, and the other, I've got things to do.
00:07:37.849 --> 00:07:45.930
But I really just also needed about an hour to just decompress and not look at another screen.
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.329
I do eight hours of screen work at the day job.
00:07:48.409 --> 00:07:51.129
I didn't need to look at another screen again.
00:07:51.609 --> 00:07:54.329
So I sat on the sofa and read my book.
00:07:55.049 --> 00:07:57.449
I've then chatted the other half when he got home.
00:07:57.529 --> 00:08:02.250
We've da-da-da-da, and then I've gone, right, now I'm ready to go and record the podcast.
00:08:02.409 --> 00:08:07.129
I'm then ready to crack on with a few other things before I get on to some other bits.
00:08:07.449 --> 00:08:11.930
And he did that time, and that is okay.
00:08:12.889 --> 00:08:16.649
I'm not saying you have to be energized and motivated all the time.
00:08:16.889 --> 00:08:19.449
I'm not energized and motivated all the time.
00:08:19.930 --> 00:08:21.849
You've got to find your ways.
00:08:22.169 --> 00:08:25.370
And you just gotta start.
00:08:25.849 --> 00:08:26.969
Start small.
00:08:28.409 --> 00:08:29.689
One thing.
00:08:30.169 --> 00:08:35.690
One thing that you're gonna do, and if it is, kitchen boogie, kitchen boogie.
00:08:36.009 --> 00:08:45.210
Um, so I also want to make you aware that next week, so at the time again, at the time of recording this, so if you listen to this in the future, unfortunately that session is done.
00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:52.970
Um, but next week I am taking part in a challenge, and in fact, I'm coming into the challenge as an expert.
00:08:53.129 --> 00:09:02.569
And are we talking more about movement, how I got into movement, what movement actually is, and I'll be leading them in a movement session.
00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:06.090
So I will tag the details in the show notes.
00:09:06.250 --> 00:09:13.210
Um, but apologies to future listeners, it um it has been and gone by the time you listen to it.
00:09:13.449 --> 00:09:25.449
Um, so I'm excited for that to get more people thinking about movement, and for me to be able to tangibly understand what stops people from doing it.
00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:34.970
Because if I can work out what's stopping them, one, this podcast gets a lot better, and two, I can then help them overcome the challenge.
00:09:35.129 --> 00:09:37.210
So I hope you found that useful.
00:09:37.370 --> 00:09:41.210
But remember, start small and pick one thing.
00:09:41.769 --> 00:09:44.490
Until next time, let's move.
00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:34.570
Hello and welcome back.
00:00:34.729 --> 00:00:40.490
So today's episode is a spin on a previous topic.
00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:52.329
So in the summer, the UK had a massive heat wave, and I was sharing how you could still move even in the heat and keep yourselves motivated.
00:00:53.129 --> 00:01:02.170
So we're now heading into the colder weather, the darker nights, and I'm going to come and give you some motivation of a different angle.
00:01:02.489 --> 00:01:04.810
Because I know I've been feeling it myself.
00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:12.090
So I work full-time, I run my dance and movement stuff, and I do Aura Flame.
00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:24.170
Um and recently I've been finding that as much as I'm motivated for Aura Flame, I've been really pushing that, that actually the movement stuff has gone very quiet.
00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:37.609
I've been sharing some tips for hen parties, the little bit of first dance, but actually that side of it, I haven't been talking about it, and I'm not really pushing it as much as I want to be.
00:01:37.929 --> 00:01:41.929
And it got me thinking, why?
00:01:43.209 --> 00:01:45.369
And the reason was motivation.
00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:47.450
I haven't got any bookings.
00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:51.129
Which should actually be the opposite.
00:01:51.289 --> 00:01:57.609
I should be more motivated to promote and talk about all of the benefits of it to get the bookings in, right?
00:01:58.009 --> 00:02:00.170
Reverse psychology, you know.
00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:12.729
Um, but the more I delved into it, the more I realized that actually, if I'm struggling to motivate myself in this time, you're probably gonna be having the same.

It's wet, it's cold, it's getting dark.
00:02:25.210 --> 00:02:35.689
We just want to cozy up on the sofa with our hot chocolate, or obviously it's pumpkin spice season, although I've never actually tried it.
00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:38.969
Um yeah, shoot me now.
00:02:39.130 --> 00:02:42.010
Um, they don't always do it in hot chocolate though, so it's it's one of them.
00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:44.250
I'm not a coffee drinker, I can't drink it.
00:02:44.409 --> 00:02:48.010
Um, but we want to be all cozy and snuggly.
00:02:49.850 --> 00:02:52.650
But that doesn't mean that movement has to stop.
00:02:53.530 --> 00:02:57.450
Our movement can stay exactly the same.
00:02:57.610 --> 00:03:14.010
We can still boogie doing the household chores, we can still park a little bit further away from the entrance, and whereas in the summer we might park the other side of the car park so we get a longer walk.
00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:17.850
In the winter, you might go, oh, but it's really cold and it's wet, and I don't want to be out long.
00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:21.610
Fine, so just park that a little bit further away.
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:31.130
You can still take the steps instead of the lift, so you can still do exactly the same, but our motivation is different.
00:03:31.450 --> 00:03:37.370
So you have to decide what you are now working towards.

If you're watching the video version, you'll see that I've already got the jumpers on.
00:03:56.170 --> 00:04:01.930
Um, so our motivation and reason for wanting to move is different.
00:04:02.250 --> 00:04:14.650
It could be that actually the summer was way too hot for you, and that even though I was sharing that you could still be moving, even at a gensler pace, that actually it was too much for you, and you felt really sluggish.
00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:19.370
And yes, it is cozy season, but you don't want to feel sluggish anymore.
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:22.250
So it's still got to be easy.
00:04:22.409 --> 00:04:31.370
And if you know me by now, you know that everything I do is easy, it's got to fit into everyday life, otherwise, it doesn't happen.
00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:44.969

Just sit and do the exercises I need to do.
00:05:24.810 --> 00:05:27.370

Because then as I see the results, because if I do the glute exercises, my pole is going to get better because my hips aren't going to cramp as much.
00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:41.529
I'm going to have the motivation to keep doing them so that I can progress on the pole.
00:05:41.849 --> 00:06:04.490
The same goes for you that if you have been feeling really sluggish lately and you're like, I just want to move and feel better, because yes, whilst I'm saying it's cosy season, we don't have to buy into the dark, the cold, the dreary, the kind of we can make it happy.
00:06:04.969 --> 00:06:06.969
We can make it energized.
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:12.810
You've just got to start, but start small.
00:06:12.969 --> 00:06:13.769
You should know by now.
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:18.089
I always say start small, and that's why I say kitchen boogie.
00:06:18.569 --> 00:06:29.529
Stick the music on, doing the washing up, doing the cooking, doing whatever housework it is that you're doing, put the music on and have a boogie.
00:06:29.849 --> 00:06:32.089

How can I do it without doing something else?
00:06:43.209 --> 00:07:05.289
So whether it is you have a boogie because you have a boogie because and I'm deliberately not answering that sentence because having a boogie just because is valid.
00:07:05.849 --> 00:07:09.370
You don't have to have a reason to have a boogie.
00:07:09.449 --> 00:07:15.529
I've been talking to lots of people recently that love just having a boogie.
00:07:16.889 --> 00:07:21.049
So my invitation to you is to just have a boogie.
00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:29.049
So if you are struggling to find that motivation and you are feeling a bith, like I've done it.
00:07:29.129 --> 00:07:36.810
So at the time of recording this, I came home from the day job and I was like, right, I need to do the podcast, I need to do this, that, and the other, I've got things to do.
00:07:37.849 --> 00:07:45.930
But I really just also needed about an hour to just decompress and not look at another screen.
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.329
I do eight hours of screen work at the day job.
00:07:48.409 --> 00:07:51.129
I didn't need to look at another screen again.
00:07:51.609 --> 00:07:54.329
So I sat on the sofa and read my book.
00:07:55.049 --> 00:07:57.449
I've then chatted the other half when he got home.
00:07:57.529 --> 00:08:02.250
We've da-da-da-da, and then I've gone, right, now I'm ready to go and record the podcast.
00:08:02.409 --> 00:08:07.129
I'm then ready to crack on with a few other things before I get on to some other bits.
00:08:07.449 --> 00:08:11.930
And he did that time, and that is okay.
00:08:12.889 --> 00:08:16.649
I'm not saying you have to be energized and motivated all the time.
00:08:16.889 --> 00:08:19.449
I'm not energized and motivated all the time.
00:08:19.930 --> 00:08:21.849
You've got to find your ways.
00:08:22.169 --> 00:08:25.370
And you just gotta start.
00:08:25.849 --> 00:08:26.969
Start small.
00:08:28.409 --> 00:08:29.689
One thing.
00:08:30.169 --> 00:08:35.690
One thing that you're gonna do, and if it is, kitchen boogie, kitchen boogie.
00:08:36.009 --> 00:08:45.210
Um, so I also want to make you aware that next week, so at the time again, at the time of recording this, so if you listen to this in the future, unfortunately that session is done.
00:08:45.370 --> 00:08:52.970
Um, but next week I am taking part in a challenge, and in fact, I'm coming into the challenge as an expert.
00:08:53.129 --> 00:09:02.569
And are we talking more about movement, how I got into movement, what movement actually is, and I'll be leading them in a movement session.
00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:06.090
So I will tag the details in the show notes.
00:09:06.250 --> 00:09:13.210
Um, but apologies to future listeners, it um it has been and gone by the time you listen to it.
00:09:13.449 --> 00:09:25.449
Um, so I'm excited for that to get more people thinking about movement, and for me to be able to tangibly understand what stops people from doing it.
00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:34.970
Because if I can work out what's stopping them, one, this podcast gets a lot better, and two, I can then help them overcome the challenge.
00:09:35.129 --> 00:09:37.210
So I hope you found that useful.
00:09:37.370 --> 00:09:41.210
But remember, start small and pick one thing.
00:09:41.769 --> 00:09:44.490
Until next time, let's move.
