MUVE Forward

Today's episode I'm sharing my personal challenges of releasing emotional ties I had with my family home and the memories of my mom and my childhood. It's hard when we lose people we love and having to deal with the physical things that we are attached to however these items will not bring back our loved ones and they also won't take away any memories we have with them. It's up to you to release the ties and the sadness and to choose a healthy positive way to move forward. It takes some time but when you're ready it can be very healing and releasing. I wish I had this episode to listen to when I was dealing with the transition so please pass this on to anyone who may need some guidance during their struggling season. Lots of love, Michelle

Losing a child must be one of the hardest things a parent could go through and finding a way to move forward and to find happiness must be a battle. Today on the podcast I have a very special guest, Anna Gaffney talking to us about the loss of her son Kevin. Anna is sharing the challenges and the process of moving forward, in hopes to help others who maybe going through a similar loss. I had the privilege of working with Kevin for a couple of years and I'm so thankful to have so many happy memories of him. Anna has also recently written a children's booked called Visiting Nanni. The book is to help start the conversation so children can feel comfortable talking about their grandparents and the changes they might be going through.

Living in gratitude, choosing to see the laughter in a situation is a choice. I recently went out for a fun adventure with a friend and we didn't find the adventure we were looking for but we definietly had a day of laughs. I try to see the positivity in most situations and this was no exception.

Keeping up with my fitness routine can be a struggle but I've been finding some great ways to keep to my goals. Having a goal Is the first step. In the past I just worked out, I didn't have a certain goal to work towards so I didn't often have a reason to stick with a workout routine. I find when I know what I'm working towards, then I have the motivation to keep working for the goal. Making a plan and creating a routine is also important so that we have something to follow. Having a friend or a colleague who's also interested in incorporating movement is a fun way to build a community while staying fit! Of course having some rewards like allowing myself to buy a new workout outfit is also a major bonus to sticking to my goals. Now it's time I get this downloaded so I can get outside for a walk! Happy listening and happy muving!
