The model that was created around whole health, the SHAPES of movement and why it’s important to our whole health: mental, physical, spiritual , social - emotional. The SHAPES are: - strengths - both physical and character strengths - happiness - 2 types of happiness and why they matter - aerobics - a key to health and fitness, how it protects us from diseases - positivity - overcoming the negativity bias, upward spirals and ways to prime positivity. - empowerment - autonomy, mastery-connectedness with others and our environment. - spirituality- hope, faith, prayers, kindness, charity, and meaning matters.
