Back to Zero Weekly: Reset with Movement
May 22, 2025
Welcome to Back to Zero Weekly: Big Emotions, Simple Strategies
Each week, get one quick, actionable strategy to help you manage emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, creating greater space for joy.
Reset with Movement
When emotions are too big to sit still with, movement can be your reset button. Physical activity — even small — releases built-up tension and helps regulate your nervous system. It doesn’t have to be a workout; it could be a quick walk, stretching your arms, or standing up and shaking out your hands.
Strategy for the Week: Create a "movement reset" routine. Choose a simple action you can do in under two minutes when stress rises: shoulder rolls, a walk around the block, or dancing to one favorite song. Small moves shift big moods.
