From Stuck to Sweating: A Real Guide to Starting Your Fitness Routine

You don’t need to “feel ready” to get moving, you need to move before you feel anything at all. Most people think motivation is the spark. It’s not. It’s the smoke that follows the fire. You begin. Then it comes. That’s how the cycle really works. So if you’re waiting for a bolt of lightning to strike before you lace up your shoes, you’ll be waiting forever.

Get Your Mind to Stop Fighting You

When you say you “can’t get started,” what you usually mean is you don’t trust that the effort will pay off. Deep down, something in you doesn’t believe this version of you can do it, not long-term. And that’s not laziness, that’s protection. Your brain is wired to avoid pain and seek comfort. But here’s the shift: you have to push past mental obstacles before they get roots. Every time you act despite doubt, you prove to yourself you’re not stuck — you’re just unpracticed.

Start So Small It Feels Silly

Forget the perfect plan. Forget the big gear. You don’t need 45 minutes. You need 60 seconds. When you try one‑minute habits, you leave no room for negotiation. One push-up. One dance. One stretch. That tiny act is a seed, and most days, it grows. Not because it’s grand, but because it’s done. You win the day by making it impossible to fail.

Fuel Before and After (Yes, Even for Short Workouts)

Your body is not a machine you punish into submission. It’s a partner you fuel for the journey. Starting a fitness habit is infinitely easier when you’re not dragging through low energy and sugar crashes. Even a banana or handful of nuts before a walk makes a difference. Balance your meals around training — think light carbs before, protein after. And hydration? It’s not optional. A fueled body is a willing body.

Build a Ritual, Not a Routine

Routine is what your dentist nags you about. Ritual is what anchors you. It’s not about doing a 30-minute workout at the same time every day. It’s about stacking your actions. Wake up → brush teeth → stretch for one minute. Pairing a micro-move to something you already do helps you use habit stacking effectively. And just like that, motion becomes your default.

Lower the Friction

If your sneakers are in the garage and your weights are under the bed and your mat’s in your trunk, you’ve already lost the moment. Your setup shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. Make your gear part of your environment, not an obstacle in it. Design a space that whispers, “Come move.” Even a single corner counts. If you create a compact workout zone, you’re not just saving time, you’re removing excuses. No energy is wasted searching. It’s all spent showing up.

Let Someone Else In

There’s a lie we tell ourselves that discipline means doing it all alone. But we’re wired for connection. You can be fiercely independent and still need a nudge. Whether it’s a friend, an online group, or a weekly class, harness group workout energy to stay in motion when your willpower starts to fade. Community is not about performance. It’s about presence. Being seen changes the stakes.

Work Toward Something Real

If you’re working out “just to get healthy,” good luck staying with it. Vague goals produce vague effort. Your motivation will multiply when you’re chasing something you can see. Sign up for a 5k. Plan a beach trip. Schedule a photoshoot. When you work toward an event, every workout has a purpose beyond calories. It becomes practice, not punishment.

Keep Track Without the Drama

Most people forget their wins by the weekend. That’s a problem. You can’t improve what you don’t measure. But don’t overcomplicate it. Ditch the 18-tab spreadsheet. Use something that’s flexible, editable, and always within reach. A tool like a digital PDF editor lets you log progress, adjust plans, and even build your own templates for meals, workouts, or goals. It’s not about fancy. It’s about remembering what’s working.

You read this far. That means something in you is already moving. Motivation doesn’t have to feel magical. It just has to feel like “yes,” even a quiet one. So start. Today. For one minute. Then do it again tomorrow. Because once you’re in motion, staying still won’t feel like safety anymore. It’ll feel like a missed opportunity.


If you’re ready to deepen your journey into embodied wellness, Meditation Informs Healing Facilitation offers dynamic coaching and trauma-informed astrology to help you reconnect with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Neptune Retrograde Questions & Journal Prompts

Hello Dear Ones,

I haven’t written in a while. The lawn, the large garden and the chickens are taking some of my free time, which is great! I love eating locally grown, high levels of Qi (energy), completely organic veggies!

I have also been dealing with some personal Neptune transits and arising escapist / avoidance behaviors and adaptive defenses showing up. Hence, I am writing about Neptune now.

Neptune times are nebulous, fantastical, creative and spiritual at their best. However, they can also be confusing, fuzzy, foggy, delusional and deceptive at their worst, even going into addictive behaviors and patterns (escaping through substances or behaviors).

Looking at various Neptune archetypes: the Fog, the Tides, Mirroring, Spiritual Insight, Energetic Detractors, How to Stay Grounded and what Gifts are available, we will unpack each one a bit.

Here are some questions that are worth asking at this time (Neptune Rx will be felt for at least the next week, if not for 10 – 12 days here): the Fog – What illusions / fantasies am I currently under? Be honest, take your time, no shame, no blame, try not to judge yourself. We all have something. Especially those Pisces, 12th house, Neptune hard aspect people out there! (that includes me btw)

The Tides – What emotional or energetic pattern is coming up now? Do you have time to contemplate, to meditate, time for slowing and introspection? It takes time to start to see my patterns and adaptive defenses arising again and again. Now is the chance to notice. Then, bringing this stuff to consciousness, it can start to change.

The Mirror – What is happening around me? What is being reflected back to me from others or my environment? We can look at projections, mirroring, transference during this time. What am I attracting and why? Can I own my stuff during this time? Or am I involved in a good dose of self-deception at the moment? Check in.

Spiritual Insight – What guidance is available from my Higher Self or wisdom beings at this time? What brings me joy? What helps me to feel more open, more spacious, more grounded, more in my body? Can I find a healthy balance right now? Can I take the time to listen to deeper whispers from my intuition?

I use the term Energetic Detractors, but you can also think of this like an Energetic Undertow – what is pulling me away from being true to my self? what is distracting me? Am I escaping from what I really need to work on right now? Can I own my stuff? Can I sit with my stuff? Can I feel my emotions and hang out with some uncomfortable shadowy material? As always – if you need support, please reach out and ask for help!

Grounding – What is anchoring me in my body, in my life, in my health? This is a very dream-like time. What helps me to ground during this wispy, magical, nebulous time? Get out in nature, be creative, start an art project, meditate, do some yoga, dance, go swimming. Can I use Neptune effectively and efficiently to move forward in life?

Gifts – What soul lesson or healing is emerging from this Neptunian time? Is there a deeper purpose or deeper meaning behind these fantasies? Can I pierce through the fog and see the spiritual meaning, the psychological insight or awareness during this time? Be gentle, go slow, be kind. Be both relaxed and firm. Diligent and spacious.

Other questions that might be beneficial during this Neptune shift:

Where am I longing to escape? What would it take to face that part of my reality with compassion instead?

What is the difference between intuition and fantasy in my current situation? How can I better discern the two?

Am I confusing unconditional love with self-sacrifice and martyrdom? Who is clear headed and discerning that I can talk to and check in about this?

What dream, artistic vision, or spiritual truth is calling for my attention?

When was the last time I felt truly connected to something greater than myself, and what helped me feel that way?

Where do I feel foggy, overwhelmed or unclear? What happens if I rest a little, try to relax the clinging / grasping at figuring it out? What if I surrender a tiny bit more? Can I simply feel it?

If I could ask my High Self one question right now, what would it be? And if I can get quiet for 5 – 10 minutes, what answer arises?

I hope you find this helpful! I sure have! Hopefully you have a few minutes to sit with these prompts.

I wish you well in your exploration of these Neptunian themes!

The Wellness You Build: Self-Improvement as a Path, Not a Prescription

Image via Pexels

Optimal wellness isn’t a place you reach so much as a state you create. For most, the term conjures green juices, endless yoga, or apps that nudge you toward gratitude. But the real work of self-improvement—the kind that lasts beyond resolutions or retreats—requires a willingness to rewire routines, disrupt comfort, and stay curious about one’s own tendencies. Wellness isn’t about doing everything right; it’s about making enough right choices, consistently enough, to change how it feels to live inside your own skin.

Break Up with Perfection and Build Rhythm Instead

People often confuse self-improvement with self-perfection. That’s where things go off track. Trying to overhaul every habit at once is a short-lived sprint with burnout as the finish line. What sustains momentum isn’t intensity, but rhythm—a sense of pacing that fits into life as it is now. Instead of stacking pressure on top of exhaustion, it’s more effective to choose one habit that builds energy, then let that energy fuel the next change.

Self-Inquiry Is the Real Foundation

Before doing better, there has to be clarity on what “better” even looks like. Too many people borrow goals from someone else’s blueprint, not realizing that wellness is wildly individual. Asking honest questions—what fuels the best days, what drains the worst, what feels missing—becomes the compass for real improvement. Self-inquiry isn’t just navel-gazing; it’s strategy, and it turns reactive living into deliberate transformation.

Reshape Your Environment to Reflect Your Intentions

Few things derail growth faster than an environment at odds with your goals. If the space you spend your time in pulls you toward distraction, overstimulation, or mindless habits, your willpower doesn’t stand a chance. Reshaping surroundings—organizing cluttered rooms, limiting access to digital noise, placing visual cues where habits should form—can act as silent reinforcement. The changes don’t need to be grand; they just need to align with who you’re trying to become.

Turn the Page Without Losing the Paper Trail

Starting fresh in a new career often means more than just learning new skills—it means organizing the past so it doesn’t trip up the future. Digitizing important work and career-related documents helps create a portable, searchable archive that’s always at your fingertips. Saving files as PDFs preserves their formatting across platforms and makes them simple to share, edit, or compress using online tools; if you haven’t explored these resources, this is worth a look. Building your next chapter gets easier when the paper trail doesn’t slow you down.

Add Meditation to Cultivate Inner Stamina

While diet and exercise tend to dominate wellness conversations, meditation addresses a subtler—but equally critical—dimension: mental resilience. Regular meditation isn’t about becoming a monk or emptying your mind on command. It’s a way to practice staying present in the middle of discomfort or distraction. For those looking to deepen the practice, attending a retreat with Meditation Informs Healing Facilitation offers a chance to step away from the noise and immerse in guided sessions and calming rituals. Time spent there helps refine the technique and makes the practice easier to return to once everyday life resumes.

Don’t Just Rest—Restore

Many confuse downtime with restoration, but not all forms of rest are created equal. Scrolling through apps or passively consuming content may distract from exhaustion, but they rarely relieve it. True restoration asks for engagement with what replenishes—time in nature, art that moves you, unhurried meals with people who see you. These aren’t luxuries, they’re essentials, and skipping them in the name of productivity undercuts every effort to improve. Wellness doesn’t ask for endless doing; sometimes it demands a full stop.

Pursuing optimal wellness through self-improvement isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about becoming more yourself. The process asks for attention, honesty, and a willingness to shift course when something stops serving. There’s no trophy for winning at wellness, no final version to become. But there is a steadier, stronger, more aware version of you that emerges each time effort is made. And that version isn’t found through hacks or hacksawed routines—it’s built, piece by piece, through presence and care.

Embark on a transformative journey with Trauma Informed Astrology and Somatic Process Work and discover the powerful intersection of somatic healing and astrology to enhance your dynamic wellness today!

Reinventing yourself for Empowerment & Positive Energy

This post was written by Camille Johnson. Thank you Camille for your insightful articles!

What’s Next Is Yours: Reinventing Yourself for Empowerment and Positive Energy

Reinvention isn’t reserved for rock stars, CEOs, or people going through a midlife crisis. It’s for you. It’s for anyone who feels a little stuck, a little dimmed, or a little too comfortable with the status quo. The spark of empowerment and positive energy is real, and it starts with a conscious decision to show up differently for yourself, on your terms, in your own way. Reinvention doesn’t require a new name or a radical transformation overnight—it just asks for a new direction, one that feeds your spirit and brings you back to life.

Start With Clear Intentions That Actually Mean Something

Too often, people throw around vague resolutions without anchoring them to anything real. Reinventing yourself demands intention, not just hope. You need to know what you’re aiming for and why it matters to you right now—not yesterday, not someday, but today. When your intentions are rooted in personal meaning, every step toward change carries more weight, more direction, and more drive.

Redefining Your Path: Changing Careers with Confidence

Switching careers isn’t a failure of the old dream—it’s the birth of a new one that fits where you are now. Whether you’re pivoting industries or chasing long-lost passions, the process demands clarity, courage, and the right tools to help you stand out. An AI resume builder for effective applications can streamline this transition by helping you craft polished, professional resumes in minutes using smart AI technology. With personalized suggestions based on your prompts and responses, it tailors each resume to align with your new direction while showcasing your existing strengths.

Learning Isn’t Just for Classrooms—It’s for Your Soul

Nothing reinvigorates your life like feeding your curiosity and learning something new. Whether it’s picking up a new language, diving into a creative craft, or enrolling in a course you’ve always put off, stretching your brain reminds you that you’re still in motion. Reinvention thrives on new information, new tools, and new ways of seeing yourself. You don’t just learn for the sake of learning—you learn to grow into the version of yourself that doesn’t yet exist.

Protect Your Energy By Curating Your Circle

Your environment has a loud voice in your story. If you keep company with people who doubt themselves or dim your light, you’ll start shrinking to fit their shadows. The people you surround yourself with should challenge you to rise, not convince you to settle. Find those who celebrate your efforts, speak life into your ideas, and hold you to the vision you’ve claimed for yourself—even on days you forget it.

Discomfort Is Where the Magic Lives

If you’re waiting to feel ready before stepping into something new, you’ll stay in the same place forever. Growth never comes gift-wrapped in comfort. You’ve got to practice saying yes to the things that make you sweat a little—whether it’s public speaking, launching a side hustle, or ending something that’s no longer aligned. Reinvention isn’t supposed to be easy; it’s supposed to stretch you in all the ways that help you remember how capable you actually are.

Don’t Wait for the Finish Line to Celebrate

Progress is often invisible unless you’re looking for it. You’ll be tempted to only honor the final transformation, but there’s power in acknowledging the small wins along the way. Did you finally make that call you were dreading? Did you say no without apologizing? Did you show up for yourself in a new way today? These moments are fuel—notice them, celebrate them, and let them carry you into the next chapter.

Grow Through What You Go Through

Adopting a positive mindset doesn’t just sound good—it keeps you grounded when the work gets hard. Reinvention requires resilience, because the road isn’t linear and self-doubt likes to circle back uninvited. But when you look at challenges as tools for shaping who you’re becoming, you stop seeing setbacks as signs you should quit. Instead, you begin to welcome them as part of the process that’s building your next level.

Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering that you always had permission to become more of yourself. It’s standing in your own power and saying, “I’m ready now.” And every time you say yes to that, you draw in more of the energy, people, and momentum that fuel the life you’ve been imagining. The next version of you isn’t waiting to be discovered—it’s waiting to be created. So go ahead and make something real.

Start your transformative journey with AstroDharma and Kirby Moore to enhance your dynamic wellness! Kirby offers coaching, personal somatic process sessions, supervision to practitioners and Western Astrology interpretations. Reach out if you are ready to come back to and rediscover yourself, or if you feel stuck and want some skillful support in working through inner obstacles.

Mentoring & Supervision available to bodyworkers, counselors & astrologers

Hello Friends,

I offer mentoring and supervision for bodyworkers, yoga teachers, astrologers and psychotherapists. As an emotional-process-oriented somatic process bodyworker with 20 years under my belt, I have encountered many manifestations of trauma and adaptive defenses.

If you have a client who has unusual symptoms and you don’t quite know how to help them come back to their body, get in touch! You can send me a message here: https://www.mkirbymoore.com/contact.html

I offer long-distance sessions both for supervision and for individual process work. I can track and attune to people’s nervous systems whether I am in the same room or across a Zoom screen and a thousand miles away. Let me know if you want to set up a session!

Here is some of what I offer:

I have completed training in Somatic Experiencing and I have my SEP certificate. In addition, I completed training in Integral Somatic Psychology with Raja Selvam and went on to do his PPN and developmental trauma and attachment courses. I have been practicing Craniosacral Therapy the longest (since 2005), along with Zapchen Somatics – simple and playful exercises to come down out of the head and ease into the body. I was very fortunate to work directly with Julie Henderson, the creator of Zapchen Somatics.

When I blend the above trauma resolution modalities with the Pre- and Perinatal Psychology education I received from Myrna Martin, it combines to quite a potent blend. I have assisted six Womb Surrounds and been a co-leader for several more. These are intense deep dives into processing birth trauma and ancestral stuff. I love witnessing the incredible healing that can arise with Birth Process work.

I have also been studying and practicing Spiritual and Psychological Astrology since 2003. When I have my client’s permission, I use the Natal Chart to zero in on what is coming up for them and what is the priority to work on that day. It is incredibly insightful. All of this, plus I am a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. This provides extra wisdom and a huge spacious compassionate container to hold trauma and early wounding.

In 2021 I created Trauma Informed Astrology, a modality combining Western Astrology, nervous system theory & repair, and embodiment tools. I have benefited dozens of students and clients with this.

I attended a very special massage program back in 2018. It was a small cohort (10 of us) in the sacred Sangre de Christo mountains of southern Colorado. It turned out I was at a Taoist mystery school. We did Qi cultivation for 3 – 4 hours everyday, with a significant focus on Chinese Medicine. Therefore, I also deeply appreciate being able to offer acupressure and to work with the 5 Elements. Oh, and we learned a decent amount of Swedish massage on the side. It was a life-changing experience.

I mention all of this to point out that I am the only person on the planet who offers this unique combination of healing wisdom.

Let me know if you have questions (use the contact form above) and hopefully I can benefit you or your clients!
