Want to do a December Movement Challenge with me? š
Hello fabulous Reader,
Okay, we are back to our regularly scheduled programming - one email value-add a week. Happy December! As you know, I always love a new month. It brings with it so much potential for growth and is also a great time to reflect on what has gone well.
November has been very hectic, promoting a freebie and launching my program again. Iām super excited for those already enrolled - weāve already had some good calls and have great visions for the future. Itās going to be a great round!
Starting with new clients always makes me reevaluate my own healthy behaviors a little bit more. Am I living in alignment? Am I showing up for myself the way I am preaching to others to behave?
ā
The truth is I havenāt been. Iāve been focused on my business, travel, events, and social gatherings - and while that emotionally filled my cup, I am now suffering from the tail end of a cold. I know my body needs a little extra care in the coming months.
A part of my brain is screaming, āOh my god, I havenāt worked out in weeks, and Iāve lost all my gains. Iām going to have to start ALL over!ā Okay, little gremlin in my head, please shut up. I know that is just not true. I still have muscle. I still have strength. Sure jumping back into things will be a slow process and require me to get uncomfortable. But Iāve done it before, and I can do it again. Itās not starting over; itās building after a little hiatus.
ā
If you donāt want to wait until January to reconnect with your movement goals, letās do this together. Now wait before you go running off and pound out a two-hour workout. Jump back in slowly. Do a little at a time. DONāT try and nail every day in December. Just do more than you were doing before. This is not about being perfect. I want you to fuck up. Call it fuck up, December. That way, youāll realize that even if you keep missing some days of movement, youāll still be making progress. Shoot for 15 minutes a few times a week. Donāt overthink it.
Sound good? If youāre on board, tag me on IG (@morgan.e.shepherd), so I know youāre joining me!

Cool. Iām going to run around the house with my new handheld vacuum picking up all the dog hair for 20 minutes, and call that my movement for the day.
Until next time,
Thanks for reading!

I run the Customer Service side of things for my Business Coach, and we are in launch mode this week! She is much farther along in her business journey than I am, and it is exciting to see what is possible with only a small team of 6. I've been busy answering tons of emails this week and have been tied to my computer more than I would like. Who am I kidding? I spend WAY too much time working on my computer anyway. This is the exact reason I am such a stickler when it comes to sticking to your...
Writing in today to talk about how excited I am about the two modules I got finished yesterday for my upcoming course. Itās going to be a good one! Itās for the person who struggles to make time for breakfast - they know they āshouldā be having breakfast and they probably āshouldā be having something other than a pastry or granola bar ā but no matter how much they want to, they just canāt seem to make this change. Iām excited because itās not just another protein cheatsheet with a list of...
Heya I missed two of my morning walks this week - because I had made other plans to walk later in the day. One of those days I did actually get in an afternoon walk because I walked to the movies. But the other day, my friend canceled, and instead of going for an evening walk on my own, I just didnāt move my body that day. Looking back, Iām frustrated with myself that I broke that promise. For me, morning walks are a promise to myself that I will show up and take this time to move my body,...
