Sometimes the quickest way to reset your mind is to move your body... even if it’s just for a few minutes. You don’t need a full workout, fancy gear, or a block of free time. Just a short, intentional burst of movement can help clear mental fog, release tension, and give your nervous system a much-needed “calm down” signal. That’s exactly what today’s mini challenge is about. Goal: Use walking as both a physical and mental reset. 1. Step away from your desk, phone, or current environment. 2. Walk for 3 minutes (inside or outside). 3. Match your steps with steady breathing: inhale for 4 steps, exhale for 4 steps. Mindset focus: Notice what shifts in your body and mood by the end.

You know what I’ve noticed? When life gets busy or stressful, joy is often the first thing we stop paying attention to. We focus on what needs fixing, solving, or surviving... and forget about the tiny things that actually keep us going. That’s where micro-moments of joy come in! I’m not talking about big, life-changing events. I mean the small, ordinary sparks that brighten a day, like the smell of fresh coffee, your favourite song coming on, a good belly laugh, or even just stepping outside into the sunshine for a bit to break up the day. These moments might seem small, but they do big things for our resilience. They help reset our nervous system, refill our energy tank, and remind us that even in tough times, there’s still light to be found. For me, it might be enjoying a warm cuppa tea or hearing a cheeky story from a friend. Tiny, simple moments, but they shift everything. What’s one small thing that’s brought you joy this week? Let’s start a thread of joy — because the little sparks often have the biggest impact.

Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s your reminder for the week: you don’t need to get it perfect, you just need to get it moving. Resilience isn’t about flawless action; it’s about showing up, trying again, and building strength one step at a time. Taking part in FightMND's Challenge 27 this month has played a big part in keeping me accountable. Knowing I’ve got to show up every day keeps me focused and moving forward. These commitments can be tough, but it's also such a good reminder that progress is built step by step. I’ve been sharing updates over on my Instagram page too, so if you’d like to follow along, you can check it out at @leannesklavenitis What’s ONE small action you’re committing to this week that will move you forward?
