Guest Podcast: Movement Health Matters

Earlier this year I sat down with Aaron from the Movement Health Matters podcast, also known as Movr. We discussed all things related to healthy behaviour change, including the importance of establishing lasting habits.

What you'll learn in this episode:

- How to create “sticky” habits
- Why joy is so important in making habits stick
- The importance of exercising for fun over (just) benefit
- Why a toddler mindset (asking ‘why’ a lot) is important in getting to the root of any blockers in creating new, healthy habits
- What macro level changes Heather is seeing at the company level related to overall health and wellbeing
- Why we struggle to make lasting behavior changes despite having the knowledge and resources
- The impact of psychological skills training on mental and cognitive health outcomes
- The importance of a long-term mindset in maintaining behavior change
- Why we need to learn from failures, embracing flexibility, and avoiding perfectionism
- Bridging the gap between knowledge and implementation for lasting behavioral change.
