Backstory: This nudge came from the list I made of things I loved doing when I was a kid. What makes the timing perfect is I am completely bored by my exercise options. Great opportunity to mix things up!
If jumping rope is not your thing, pick an activity you loved doing as a kid that you haven’t done in a while (coloring, baking cookies, playing dress-up) or pull out that box of old sports gear and get outside to play!
What Happened: Apocalypse 2020. This is what is happening in my neighborhood today:
I might pull another Nudge from the bowl today. More likely I’ll just take the pass.
Be safe. Keep calm. Wear your mask.
This too shall pass.
I LOVED jumping rope as a kid – could do it for hours. So I bought a jump rope and decided it would be a fun way to get some exercise and a little bit of joy. When did I get so old and earthbound?? Jumping rope used to be so easy! Now somehow, lifting myself off the ground over a simple rope seems to take so much more effort. What the heck happened? I’m committed, though, to trying to recapture that floaty feeling I used to get when I was a kid. Stay tuned….
