Movement
The Life Practices Challenge
Pre-Discussion Preparation
To prepare for the upcoming discussion on movement and exercise, we have outlined several activities designed to help you reflect on your current and desired physical activity habits:
Current Movement and Exercise Practices: Spend some time reflecting on your current level and types of physical activity. Note the frequency, duration, and types of movement or exercise you currently engage in, such as walking, yoga, gym workouts, or sports.
Future Movement and Exercise Practices: Consider what changes or enhancements you'd like to make to your movement and exercise routine. Are there new forms of exercise you want to try? Do you want to increase the intensity or frequency of your workouts? Set specific, realistic goals that align with your overall health and wellness objectives.
Consider Strengths, Values, and Passions: Reflect on how your personal strengths, values, and passions can support and reinforce your movement and exercise goals. Understanding how these elements integrate can provide motivation and enhance your commitment to your fitness objectives.
Review the 5 S's: Explore the content pages for each of the 5 S's below to discover ways to apply them in reinforcing the changes you plan to make.
Goals and Habits for the Future: Think about the goals and habits that would help you achieve your desired future state. Define what practices you need to develop and maintain to support your movement over the long term.
Discussion Questions
At the beginning of the discussion, each participant can share insights about their current practices, future practices, strengths/values/passions, and the 5 S's, and goals/ habits, and request feedback on areas where they want new perspectives.
If time allows, proceed with the following questions to guide your group discussion, focusing on sharing experiences and strategies for achieving movement goals:
What does your current movement and exercise routine look like, and how has it evolved?
What goals do you have for enhancing or changing your movement and exercise practices, and why?
What preparations do you find necessary to support your new movement and exercise goals?
How do you plan to integrate consistent movement and exercise practices into your daily life?
What challenges have you faced in maintaining regular physical activity, and how do you plan to overcome them?
Post-Discussion Activities
After your discussion, consider these activities to reinforce your commitment and enhance your understanding of your movement goals:
Update Your Plan: Revisit and refine your current practices, future practices, strengths/values/passions, and the 5 S's, alongside your goals and habits. This will ensure your plan remains aligned with your evolving needs and insights.
Make One Small Change: Identify and implement one manageable adjustment that moves you closer to your desired future state. Starting with a small change can help build momentum and confidence.
Reflect and Adjust: Continuously reflect on your progress and remain open to making necessary adjustments. Use a journal or an app to track your eating habits and their impact on your overall health and wellness.
Through this process, you'll be better prepared to develop practices that more closely align with your future vision, allowing you to enhance your wellbeing.
