The Friday Towards Moves Club Launch

[00:00:00] Hi there, and a very warm welcome to Season six, episode 45 of People Soup. It's Ross Macintosh here this week, it's a cup of soup, a short episode, and I'm gonna introduce you to a new club that anyone can join and it's free. It's called The Friday Towards Move Club. Consider this the soft launch.

So. What's the idea of the Friday towards Move Club? It's something small and lovely. I wanted to share with you. It's not perfectly crafted or developed. I'm keen to share it to see how the idea evolves. In one of my recent small group supervision sessions, We decided we'd finish each week by sharing one tiny thing, just one that we'd done on a Friday. Every week We call this a towards move. Some of you might be familiar with that language from the ACT matrix, but don't worry if you're not, 'cause I'm gonna explain what it is. This isn't about a big life overhaul. This isn't a productivity [00:01:00] hack. It's not a new me declaration. It's just a small action that moves us towards something that matters.

A towards. Maeve has three qualities. It's connected to something meaningful. It's small enough to actually do, and it's done on purpose. That's it.

It might be sending one honest message or stepping outside for five minutes of air or writing that first paragraph. Or it could be leaving work on time saying, no saying yes, getting your sports bag ready. And here's the important bit. I encourage you to make it almost laughably small because. When it's small, it's doable. When it's doable, it builds trust with yourself. And when you build trust with yourself, that changes things. what I loved in the small group supervision group was this.

When we shared our Friday towards moves, something [00:02:00] shifted. There was encouragement, there was gentle accountability, there was warmth. There was witnessing. Nobody judged. Nobody tried to optimize it. Nobody made it bigger. We just said that matters. Go for it. So here we are launching something simple. The Friday Towards Move Club. a gentle online space, which will appear on LinkedIn and Instagram on Friday.

And we'll start this Friday, 27th of February. I'll post on LinkedIn and Instagram my small towards me for a Friday

and you can post yours. or you can observe, or you can simply borrow courage from someone else. Because a lot of the time we don't need pressure. We need presence towards me isn't about fixing yourself. It's about expressing what matters to you in motion. So here's my invitation

on Friday this week. [00:03:00] What's one small move you could make and what makes it meaningful? Make it 50% smaller than you think it should be.

and if you'd like to share your Friday towards Move, you can add it in the comments under my post or create a new post with the hashtag or Friday towards Move Roof. Small, meaningful, shared. That's the club. That's the idea.

So let's see what happens with the Friday Towards Move Club. It's a people soup ritual in the making.

If you know someone who might be interested, please do share this episode with them on Instagram. You'll find me at People Soup on LinkedIn. You'll find me at People Soup. I'll put the links in the show notes. Let's see what happens, folks, I'm curious and let me know what you think.
