What You Used to Love

Remember one kind of movement you enjoyed. Find a smaller way to try it this week.

Before you start

Read this side first, then write your answers on the other side. Your answers stay on your paper. Nothing to submit, and no score.

Up Front

What you’ll do: Remember what you enjoyed, notice what got in the way, and choose one smaller version.
Why it’s useful: Enjoyment gives you a useful place to start.
Time and materials: A few minutes, the worksheet and a pen.
Your result: One smaller version and the day you’ll try it.

Keep the part you enjoyed.

A smaller version can keep what made the activity worth doing.

Notice

I used to enjoy long weekend walks.
Reflect

I liked the fresh air and company. My weekends became busy.
Try

I’ll try a ten-minute walk with a friend on Thursday after work.

The walk is shorter. The fresh air and company stay.

Illustrative example. Choose a version that fits your own circumstances.

Take care. If you are starting something new, or managing a health condition, a pregnancy or an injury, it is worth discussing with your doctor where to begin.
