Sync Your Wellness: Use the Sun to Move and the Moon to Feel

Our energy shifts with nature, so why wouldn’t our wellness routine?!

Here’s a fun concept: the sun guides movement and the moon guides emotional work. I started to sync physical activity with daylight patterns and shadow work with lunar cycles. It’s really transformed how I show up for myself.

Sun-Based Movement:

• Summer: Long runs, outdoor workouts, extra sessions

• Winter: Gentle yoga, indoor strength work, treadmill miles

• Daily: Our body naturally craves movement in daylight

Moon-Based Emotional Work:

• New Moon: Set intentions for what you want to release or grow

• Full Moon: Journal deeply, process emotions, cycles of healing

• Waning Moon: Examine patterns, release what no longer serves

This natural alignment reduces resistance. You’re working with your rhythms, not against them.

Check tonight’s moon phase and spend 5 minutes journaling about one emotion you’re ready to acknowledge.
