Partnering to Enhance Your Success

Today, take some time to consider who in your circle might serve as your PUSH (People United Supporting Healthy Living) Pal (a term adapted for NOVA by Cecil “C.J.” Jackson from Campus Rec). A PUSH Pal is that individual(s) who is available to be “your person” on this journey to use Mondays as a day to reset your health. 

Want to hear the Benefits of a PUSH Pal? They:

• Congratulate you on deciding to join your colleagues in the Move It Monday! Campaign.
• Listen as you create and modify your plans to activate your goal(s).
• Check-in at least weekly on your progress, offering encouragement.
• Applaud your success and offer support when you need a nudge to get back on track.

In some cases, your accountability partner might actually join your wellness effort; then, you can serve as Push Pals to each other. Watch this video for information from a productivity consultant on the benefits of an accountability partner.*

Now, on to our Move It Monday! Tip of the Week…..

Having a PUSH PAL is an excellent way to get motivated; plus, it’s a nice way to socialize, catch up with family and friends, connect with new people and explore Northern Virginia. By the end of the week, reach out to your PUSH Pal and tell them about the NOVA Move It Monday! Campaign.  

Let’s Get Active, NOVA!
