Using exercise to ground your energy

Exercise on its own grounds you. Add intention, and it becomes a practice.

Summary:
This episode looks at exercise as a way to ground your energy. Movement for its own sake already shifts things ... it can lift brain fog, move emotions through (sometimes right in the middle of a run), and support your happy hormones, including the 90% of dopamine made in your gut. Then you add intention, and the same workout becomes something else. Meghan shares real examples ... a weight vest on a hike or while folding laundry, holding weights through a morning squat, mindful walking with weights in your hands, feeling your feet on the beat in spin class, and gentle, modified movement in the shallow end of a pool. You can also set a big decision on the shelf, move, and let clarity come in with more ease.

Takeaways:

• Exercise on its own shifts you internally ... it can lift brain fog and let emotions move through
• Intention is what turns movement into grounding, and intention is the most powerful tool we've got
• Try a weight vest during chores or a hike, a morning squat holding weights, or mindful walking with weights in your hands
• Turn a spin class into a grounding practice by pulling all of your awareness into your feet on every push down and every pull up
• Set a decision that feels like it's too much on the shelf while you move, and give yourself 30 to 60 minutes of internal peace

What You'll Walk Away With:
A way to turn the movement you already do into a grounding practice, with one simple intention.
