Day 26 of 52 Nia challenge
I promised myself when I started this effort that even dancing for five minutes would be a success. Here on day 26, I gave myself permission to just do Nia’s five stages, which is a lovely floor exercise. Supported by the floor, not fighting gravity at the start, I revisited in about five minutes the arm-waving infant to the creeping, crawling, standing, walking toddler, the becoming upright process that all us humans go through.
When I learned this exercise during white belt training, I started out thinking it was kind of silly. That was my skeptical brain. After doing it daily (white belt training is a seven-day intensive), my body gave the skeptical brain additional feedback. For the first three months after getting my white belt I did it daily. I’ve let it go a little but came back to it today.
I like it.
