Get your mind on your side in the quest for better health!
"I know I should move my body more, but....
- I'm on my feet all day for work and I'm exhausted!”
- I'm addicted to my phone."
- I'm great at starting movement programs, just lousy at finishing them."
- my body jiggles and embarrasses me in public."
- movement is soooo boring!"
Sound familiar? If not, it probably means you have another perfectly good excuse of your own. We all have our reasons for not getting the physical activity we know is good for us–reasons which stubbornly defy the same old tired prescriptive advice about hours of weekly cardio or numbers of steps.
That’s why modern psychologist Diana Hill and acclaimed movement expert Katy Bowman have created this simple guide to changing the way you think in order to change how much you move. Through real-life examples explained with care, humor, and compassion, you’ll learn how to use the effective and practical tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychological flexibility, and radical self-compassion–-evidence-based-approaches for aligning your actions with your values.
(And you'll learn how to identify those too!)
