Promoting Movement in Others

When trying to encourage others to engage in more movement, it is important to approach it from a collective perspective rather than trying to push or pull them onto our own 'movement board.' Psychological flexibility plays a key role in fostering open-minded conversations and understanding different values. Understanding our own values behind movement and recognizing the values of others can help create a supportive and respectful environment. Deep listening and reflecting back on the perspectives of others without trying to impose our own beliefs is vital. By giving people the autonomy to make choices and reinforcing small behavior changes, we can sustain movement and create a positive relationship with it.
