LA&PS Peer Mentorship GROW Chart

EXAMPLE:

I want to exercise for 1 hour three times a week during the evenings to help reduce my stress. 

EXAMPLE:

• In the past I've really enjoyed/felt comfortable running at the park, but Winter now so it's hard to use as my exercise. 

• Expensive gym memberships  

• Nervous to try new forms of exercise. 

• Have evening classes 3/5 days... 

• Part time work most Fri and Sat nights

• Finding time for exercise might be stressful, but I know long term it helps reduce my stress 

EXAMPLE:

• Explore different gym options?

• Find a personal trainer to help me feel more confident with different exercises? 

• Ask friends who exercise their opinions/advice? 

• Shift my academic schedule? Talk to advisors? 

• Find a different job to give me more weekend time? 

• Maybe instead of evenings I can exercise between classes? Change goal??

EXAMPLE:

1. Walk over to Tate McKenzie after my mentor meeting and ask about student membership. When I go home tonight after dinner, I will look up two different gym membership options (Goodlife, Planet Fitness?) and assess my budget. 

2. Call Malcolm about his experience with personal training tomorrow night. 

3. Research other beginner exercise options on Youtube to potentially try at a new gym during my lunch break tomorrow. 

4. Write down an encouraging message on a sticky note near my gym bag before bed.  

5. Revist my goal and figure out next steps on Monday!!!
