- A version for the living room floor
- A version with music on
- A starter version that takes under ten minutes
Warm-up
If something stops working, it does not mean you failed. It means the next version is around the corner.
Practice
When motivation dips, make the step smaller instead of pushing harder. A tinier step is a friendlier step.
Start with what feels easy. If a step feels heavy, it is usually a sign to make it smaller, not to push through.
