'Let go of the need to do this right.' — Mel Mah, calm Daily Move instructor
devices through Calm's app, new sessions are released every day. After trying all the current Daily Move sessions over the course of a week, there were three that I'll be returning toReleasing Stress starts by swinging the arms like a pendulum while bending and straightening the legs, which helped open up my shoulders. When I'm stressed out my shoulders get so tense they nearly touch my earlobes, so this motion was a great beginning. Next, we moved through variations of Forward Fold.
With a soothing atmospheric background track playing, this entire session felt like I was moving all of the stress in my brain and body out. Toward the end, we placed our hands over our face, ears, and heart. Each spot unlocked another layer of relaxation as we paid attention to it.On a frustrating afternoon I tried the Saying Goodbye to Anger session. We began by moving the anger out of our bodies.
With all of the anger out, we took a grounding Child's Pose, which felt so needed to let everything settle. At the end of the session I felt like all the anger and the frustration were purged so that I could move through the remainder of my day effectively.Moving For Fun brought me back to the modern dance classes I used to take in college where we were told to move intuitively using different prompts.
I then realized that I could use multiple body parts at the same time. Using fingers, toes, my booty, I was moving like the inflatable tubes at a car dealership. Finally we we're told to move like our 5-year-old selves. For me, I sat down and moved intuitively on the ground since that's that I remember doing a lot of at that age. By the end I felt so much more energized, and I deeply resonated with Mah's closing statement,"We grow old because we stop playing.
I appreciate that in a short amount of time I'm able to play, release tension, and de-stress through each of the Daily Move sessions. Even through movement, Calm stays true to its name by providing a relaxing environment for users. If you'd like to try Calm's Daily Move series, check out
