Today, Kristen connects with Elsa Guenther, a Rochester-based health coach. She's encouraging us to practice positive self-talk, especially at a time when we all need to be giving ourselves grace. Talk to yourself like you would talk to your best friend, smile even if you don't feel like it, and see how that changes your mindset and your actions. Remember, you talk to yourself more often than you talk to anyone else—so make the conversation a happy one.

Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. It's a familiar voice on the airwaves today—Maggie Umberger is on the other line, sharing her wisdom and good vibes with us. Although she was in training for a (now cancelled) triathlon in Miami this month, she decided to take the sign from the universe to ease out of intense training. Now, she's beginning her workouts with a few minutes of stretching to tune into her body and let it wake up gently. And, if after those few minutes, she's not feeling the workout, Maggie's not forcing it and is instead being grateful to herself for that little stretch on its own.

Here's why a dose of nature is so beneficial in the AM. Resources: 10 Reasons to Start Your Day Outside

Welcome to the Daily Distance a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. This Tuesday, Kristen catches up with Steph Dietz. She's on the brand marketing team at sweetgreen (and helping them do a ton of rad outreach in the healthcare community) and moonlights as a boxing instructor at Shadowbox Chicago. As a fellow person who strugglers to work out at home (me, the other person is me), she's recommending creating a space in your home for workouts that you truly love. For Steph, that means keeping her yoga mat rolled out 24/7 and accenting that space with meditation cushions and a favorite candle—and if she can make it happen in a West Loop studio, maybe you can too.

Today, Kristen laughs it up with fellow aSweatLife employee Kelly Matkovich, our Director of Communities. Kelly is taking full advantage of having a (nice, clean) bathtub for the first time in her adult life, and the two go into a surprisingly deep dive on bath culture, atmosphere, and the surprising bath ingredient that's actually meant for your coffee.

In this podcast episode, Kristen hears from Tim Cohen, co-founder of Ethos Training Systems in Chicago. He's got a ton of movement-related certifications under his belt, and he's a Kinstretch black belt—so it's no wonder he recommends starting your day with some gentle stretching to warm up your limbs. In fact, Tim shares that humans are the only animals that don't automatically stretch in the mornings.
