I start slowly to get moving in the mornings, even if I feel like staying in bed. Once I move, I feel more cheerful.

Stretching. I was not able to do this activity for a long time, but finally I can now. Before I start, I feel sore. After stretching, I am sore but also happy!

Today I did 3 rounds of finger stretches. My fingers were achy before, but they feel a lot more relaxed now. I will do this every day!
