Happy Monday, boo!
 
Let’s talk about one of the most slept on, underestimated, and life-giving forms of movement out there:
 
WALKING.
 
Yep—good ol’ putting one foot in front of the other. It deserves way more hype than it gets.
 
As someone who runs a business from home and spends a lot of time sitting, I’ve had to be super intentional about carving out time during the day to get my steps in (yes, in addition to my workouts!).
 
And honestly? Walking has helped me show up better—for myself and my business.
 
I walk to process creative ideas.
I walk to boost my energy.
I walk to give my mind a break.
I walk to stay grounded in chaos.
I walk to reduce post-meal bloating.
 
So if you’ve been sitting at your desk for hours at a time, this your nudge:
 
Take more walks this week, boo.
 
Even if it’s just around the block.
Even if it’s on a treadmill or walking pad.
Even if your to-do list is long.
Even if it’s only for 10 minutes.
 
No pressure. No tracking. Just move.
 
Oh—and I’ll be going live on Linkedin this Wednesday for a 20min Walk & Talk session (April 2 in National Walking Day!). I’d love for you to join me.

TAKE A PAUSE
 
 
AFFIRM
Say this with me (3x):
 
My body deserves walking breaks throughout the day.

 
REFLECT
What would happen if you added a short walk into your workday this week? How might it shift your mood, your focus, or your energy?

 
NOURISH
Pair your walk with a hydration break. Fill up your water bottle and sip as you stroll—bonus if you add lemon, cucumber, or mint for a little refresh moment

 
PRIORITIZE
Add a 10-minute walk to your calendar every afternoon this week.
Call it an Energy Walk. Make it a non-negotiable date with yourself.
 
JOIN ME LIVE THIS WEEK
 
April 2nd is National Walking Day, so let's get some steps in together! 

As a part of my 'Pause with Ari' series, I'll be leading a live 20-minute Walk & Talk session on Linkedin — and invite you to join me.

I’ll be on my walking pad, talking entrepreneurship and sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the past 10 years of building a brand and business. If you have questions, I'd love to answer them, too!

Whether you’re on a treadmill, circling the office, or catching some fresh air outdoors, lace up and join me.

Founders, side hustlers, or anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes of building a brand or business — this one’s for you.
 
You can RSVP and ask your entrepreneurship questions via the link below.
