I was kneeling on my yoga mat when I realised I hadn't been having motivation to work out for a very long time and that I had fallen behind my self care routine.
I took a marker and wrote a message to myself straight on the surface of my workout mat to give myself a motivation boost that’d be in my view each time I practiced and to remind me to step on my mat more often. This message was: ‘Did you show up for yourself today?’
Having written this down and seeing it on my mat each time I practiced really helped motivate me more than I had thought. It also made me wonder what other unexplored ways there would be to improve people's motivation to show up for themselves each day on their yoga mat. Being able to write quotes on your mat would be a start, but the workout mat would also need to provide a total upgrade from all other available mats in terms of grip and support. My ultimate goal in setting out to discover this was simple: helping us all to look forward to each practice.
