POWER UP YOUR STEPS
The Power of Your Steps is all about recognizing that each step you take has the potential to make a huge difference! Whether you're walking, running, or adding steps through everyday activities, every movement helps drive your team’s success. It’s not just about hitting a certain number—it's about the collective impact you create as a team.
​
Here are some tips to get started and keep you moving:​
-
Focus on Consistency: It’s not always about big bursts of activity. Consistent, steady steps add up quickly. Find small ways throughout the day to keep moving—whether it’s walking while on the phone or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
-
Challenge Yourself: Set a personal step goal for the week. Pushing yourself a little more can help you surpass your usual targets and inspire your teammates to do the same.
-
Incorporate Active Breaks: Whether you’re working from home or the office, take active breaks throughout the day. A quick walk around the block or a few laps around your space can boost your step count and re-energize you for the day ahead.

MINDFUL MILES
it's time to focus on Mindful Miles—walking with intention and awareness. It's not just about the number of steps, but how you take them. By being mindful of your movement, you can reduce stress, boost your mood, and stay connected with your goals. This is a great opportunity to slow down and enjoy the journey while still working toward your step count.
​
Here are some tips to get started and keep you moving:​
-
Focus on Your Breathing: Take deep, steady breaths while walking. This helps reduce stress and keeps you energized for longer walks.
-
Engage Your Senses: Pay attention to your surroundings. Notice the sights, sounds, and smells as you walk—this can make your steps feel more enjoyable and refreshing.
-
Walk with Purpose: Whether it’s walking for fitness or simply clearing your mind, walk with a clear goal in mind. Setting an intention for each walk can keep you motivated and connected to the experience.
-
Embrace the Moment: Use this time to clear your head, relax, and take a break from the busy day. Walking mindfully can be a great way to recharge and focus your energy on the next challenge ahead.
-
Listen to Podcasts, Audiobooks, or Meditative Music: Enhance your walking experience by listening to something that calms you, educates you, or entertains you. Podcasts and audiobooks can make your walks more engaging, while meditative music can help you focus and relax.
