5 Steps to Reclaim Your Soul with Movement
For much of our lives, movement has been framed as fixing something—burning calories, toning muscles, or pushing harder to reach a goal. The old belief “no pain, no gain” shaped how many of us saw exercise: as something to endure rather than something to enjoy.
