Today, I did my favorite online stretching routine. I feel stiff and sore everywhere before I start, but after, I feel like I can move again.

I got moving by going for a walk with the intention of taking some nature photos. I feel stiff, sore, and tired before I start. After, I feel energized, less stiff, and my mood improves.

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