Les sympt\u00f4mes \u00e9voluent avec le temps, tout comme la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019une personne \u00e0 pratiquer une activit\u00e9 physique. Une personne active et motiv\u00e9e une semaine donn\u00e9e peut trouver la m\u00eame activit\u00e9 beaucoup plus difficile la semaine suivante. Ces changements refl\u00e8tent souvent l\u2019\u00e9volution des sympt\u00f4mes et des circonstances plut\u00f4t qu\u2019un manque d\u2019engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consid\u00e9rer les difficult\u00e9s comme des informations, et non comme des \u00e9checs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cette perspective encourage les professionnels \u00e0 ne plus consid\u00e9rer les \u00e9carts par rapport au programme d\u2019activit\u00e9 physique comme des \u00e9checs. Lorsque l\u2019activit\u00e9 physique ne se d\u00e9roule pas comme pr\u00e9vu, cela nous fournit des informations. Plut\u00f4t que de se demander pourquoi une personne n\u2019a pas tenu ses engagements, il peut \u00eatre plus utile de se demander ce qui l\u2019en a emp\u00each\u00e9e. L\u2019objectif \u00e9tait-il irr\u00e9aliste compte tenu des sympt\u00f4mes ressentis cette semaine-l\u00e0 ? La fatigue a-t-elle rendu l\u2019activit\u00e9 trop exigeante ? D\u2019autres obligations ont-elles pris le dessus ? Ou bien l\u2019activit\u00e9 semblait-elle simplement peu agr\u00e9able ou trop difficile \u00e0 g\u00e9rer ?

La motivation conna\u00eet naturellement des hauts et des bas, en particulier pendant les p\u00e9riodes de mauvaise sant\u00e9 mentale.

Il s\u2019agit plut\u00f4t de reconna\u00eetre que les progr\u00e8s sont rarement lin\u00e9aires. Pendant les p\u00e9riodes plus difficiles, la r\u00e9ussite peut consister \u00e0 maintenir une routine, \u00e0 faire une petite promenade ou \u00e0 trouver un moyen r\u00e9alisable de rester en contact avec l\u2019activit\u00e9 physique.
