Choose movement, stillness or a familiar rhythm · S12.5
Make a movement break optional and accessible
A shared activity includes a movement break.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Check whether participation, adaptation, or remaining still are all welcome.
- Choose an ordinary comfortable movement you already know suits you, or a nonmovement break.
- Return or stop when you choose without reporting a required emotional benefit.
An example
I stay seated and change my hand position while others stand.
Reflect
Did the format allow you to participate on your terms?
Next time
Request an accessible option when a group routine assumes everyone can do the same movement.
