The Healthy Workplace: Movement as Medicine

For us real estate professionals, so much of our life is organized into routines. The busyness of our lives can cause us to not want to move, which actually creates more stress in our lives. However, in being mindful of our bodies wants and needs and taking steps to provide our bodies with what they need, we are actually bringing more connectedness and presence to our workplace and the people around us. In this episode, I talk to Jennifer Moran, and we have a beautiful conversation about incorporating intentional movement throughout our day. 

Jennifer Moran is a passionate advocate for health and health equity. Boasting over two decades of experience as a dedicated, healing body worker, her work has been transformative, helping individuals not only with their physical wellbeing, but also enhancing their mental and spiritual harmony. Beyond her extensive healing expertise, Jennifer holds the role of co-founder and director at Community Well, a holistic wellness center in San Francisco. Jennifer’s unwavering dedication to self-improvement is palpable to her lifelong commitment to learning, and her profound spiritual practices that inform her life’s journey. 

In this conversation we discuss:

• How movement gives us clarity and energy
• That many of us are too stationary while working
• The importance and power of a body scan and checking in with yourself
• How to incorporate more stretching and walking during your workday
• Expending small amounts of energy can bring you new energy
• Let your body’s needs dictate your movement routines
• How self care can bring about community

For this week’s practice, I invite you to try a body scan, with the intention of listening to your body and tuning into what it needs.
