Today is a real gentle five-minute movement session. Even five minutes can feel like a meditation when we focus on our breath and the movement of the body. This is about showing up and finding simple ways to keep moving, no matter what’s happening. Small, consistent movement adds up.

Today is a gentle seated yoga session. A chance to shift our attention toward what’s in our control. We may not be able to do everything, but there is always something we can do. Move gently, connect to your breath, and bring real awareness and presence to today’s movement.

January 1st gets a lot of attention. But for many of us, today feels like the real beginning of the year. The holidays are over. Kids are back at school. Work has started again. Life is moving. January 1st isn’t a magical day. I know that from experience. I tried more than once to quit drinking on January 1st. New year, fresh start, big intentions. The change that actually stuck didn’t happen on a meaningful date. It happened months later, on an ordinary day, when I was finally able to be honest with myself. Nothing special about the date. No new-year energy. No big declaration. Just a quiet moment where I decided to start showing up differently. So if January 1st felt meaningful to you, that’s great. It can be a good starting place. But if the year only really begins for you now, that’s just as valid. Because it’s not the date that creates change. It’s what you do, consistently, after today. This week’s focus: Change doesn’t come from big promises It comes from small actions repeated over time. We tend to think we need a full plan. A perfect routine. A complete overhaul. But real change usually starts much smaller than that. It starts with identity. With asking not “What should I do?” but “Who do I want to be?” And then choosing one small action that supports that identity. A few things to focus on this week: Forget changing everything. Choose one small thing you can do daily. Ask yourself: What actually matters to me right now? Let go of what you think you “should” want. Move your body in a way that feels supportive, not punishing. Focus on showing up, not getting it right. You don’t need intensity. You need consistency. Tiny actions, done daily, shape who you become. Something to reflect on. If January 1st came and went without everything changing, that’s okay. What matters is this: What is one small action you’re willing to repeat, even when motivation fades? Start there. That’s where real change begins.

I picked up a bit of an injury playing rugby, and my mobility isn’t what it usually is. That’s part of the practice. Our bodies change, our circumstances change, but we can still show up for ourselves. For a little while, we’ll be doing more seated, chair-based movement. Gentle, supportive work that meets the body where it is. Keep moving in whatever way you can. That’s what matters.

Today is a quicker-paced mobility session. Have some fun, move with a bit of energy, and keep the body feeling loose and capable. Even in winter conditions, there’s still so much to enjoy when we keep moving. Show up for yourself and keep the momentum going.
