Mindset Monday

The Word Found Me


Happy Monday,

As I was prepping for my 10:00 AM class, I realized I was thinking way too hard. I was searching for the "right" message instead of letting it flow. By the time we started our warm-up, I decided to be honest with the group. I told them, "I don’t have a word of the week yet. I’m going to let it find me."

That’s when Katz spoke up: "How about the word finding?"

It was the truest fit for the moment. Often, we feel like we have to arrive at a destination or have all the answers mapped out before we even begin. But the "finding" is where the actual growth happens.

Bridging the Gap

In our movement practice whether we are on the reformer or doing mindful stretching we are constantly finding our balance, finding our breath, or finding where we might be holding onto unnecessary tension.

The same applies to our mindset. Today, I invite you to stop searching for the final destination and instead embrace the process of finding:

  • Finding a moment of stillness in a busy afternoon.


  • Finding a small, intentional step toward a goal that feels big.


  • Finding your most authentic response to a new challenge.


What are you finding today?

Move / Thrive / Live Well
