Discover a new mindset around your physical activity

Last week’s email sparked curiosity and reflection for many of you.

It introduced an intriguing perspective on physical activity: the concepts of power over versus power with.

If you missed it, you can catch up here on my website, but here’s a quick recap:

We explored how our mindset—whether we approach movement with a sense of control (power over) or collaboration and possibility (power with)—can influence our experience. This week, let’s build on that idea and dive deeper into how the words we use shape our physical activity experience.

​The Power of Words: "Can" vs. "Like"

Pause for a moment and think about these statements:

• I can do this exercise.​

​

• I can’t do this exercise.

​​

• I like this exercise.

​​

• I don’t like this exercise.

​

How do they resonate with you?

Using can and can’t often reflects a power over mindset, focusing on your abilities and potential—what your body is capable of doing.

On the other hand, like and don’t like align with a power with approach, where personal preferences guide your choices.

By shifting from like/don’t like to can/can’t, you may notice a transition from focusing on preferences to emphasizing ability and possibility.

Reflect on your relationship with movement: are you approaching it through the lens of what you can or can’t do, or are you letting like or don’t like take the lead?
