The lived body is the term used to describe the interdependence of the body’s systems. It describes the relationship of the mind and the body and the equal impact each has on our ability to perform. Our mind interprets the information received by the body via the senses and gives this information to the body so that performance can be achieved. It is the experience of being and knowing the world.

Most of us have a daily routine that we repeat unwaveringly, its regularity depending on the reliability of our habits. We do these tasks automatically without thinking and these routines carve out and cement our identities and are referred to as habituation. Our habituation is cyclical; repeated in known sequences and supported by the rhythms of nature (day/night, the seasons), complemented by social convention (working hours, workdays, days set aside for leisure and worship), and affected by our biology and physiology. Biologically our circadian rhythms shape our sleep and wake cycles, while physiology determines our levels of fatigue experienced and the amount of rest required. Subsequently, our habituated behaviours are impacted by our capabilities and performance capacities, how we interact with our physical and social environments and how this enables or constrains our participation. Habits allow occupational performance to unfold automatically. They are how we perform our tasks and are generated by consistently doing the same thing in the same context so, that actions that previously required attention and concentration become automatic. Habits are reflected in one’s a) performance in routine activities, b) typical uses of time, and c) styles of performance (e.g., being slow-paced versus fast-paced).

As occupational therapists, we must consider the powerful emotions that values evoke in ourselves; a sense of importance, security, worthiness, belonging, and purpose. They influence the sense of worth that we obtain from participation and the sense of obligation and/or level of commitment we attribute to our chosen and essential occupations. Our end goal is to feel competent at doing the things we value and in turn, we tend to enjoy more the things that at which we are accomplished and tend to feel bad when we cannot do the things that we deeply care about. Our values can be challenged by new experiences, exposure to new cultures, education (informal or formal), and age. So, why is understanding a person's values so important to us as occupational therapists? When we work with people, in order to encourage and promote change, we need to know and understand what motivates them, and why they do what they choose to do. We need to know why these patterns have developed, where these activities take place and with whom and why all these factors are important to the person. When we form a therapeutic relationship with someone, we become part of their social environment, and therefore, we should enact interventions that correspond to and support (when safe to do so) that person's values (de la Heras de Pablo et al., 2019). When we work with someone, whether they have low volition or not, we should always consider the complex and interconnected relationship that performance and values have. Those who experience a disability, be it physical or and/or mental health-related, often find themselves in conflict with their culture and mainstream values, which often leads to feelings of marginalisation, low self-esteem, reduced sense of worth, and failure. Values can also encourage an individual to commit to impossible ideals (Fein, 1990), drive people towards suboptimal choices or, result in people striving after certain values in the belief that their lives will not be fulfilled if they are not realised. By learning more about our patient's and their unique volitional characteristics, we can be more strategic in working with the client to enhance performance.

Over the course of our development, our values are shaped, enhanced and reinforced by our environment, social influences and culture. The culture that we are immersed in as a child teaching us our beliefs; what our community see as right and wrong, what is important, where we should focus our commitment, how we should act and what we should aspire to be and/or achieve. This, in turn, shapes what we consider to be important and what occupations become meaningful to us and therefore, dictating how we prioritise our time, what aspects of performance become important to us and thus, informing how much effort we feel that we should attribute to each of our occupations. Our values provide more than a set of rules on how to live, they give meaning and coherence to our lives and are a way of defining what matters to us; these personal convictions will be strongly held and influence our sense of self-worth. If we are unable to live our lives in line with our values, we will feel incongruent and can experience shame, guilt, failure and/or, inadequacy. For example; a Jehovah‘s Witness experiencing difficulties with their mental health, someone passionate about living off-grid and with a self-sufficient lifestyle, having to move due to a physical disability significantly impacting their function or, someone who is expected to exceed beyond expectations academically, struggling with mainstream education due to a processing disorder. Our values impact our sense of importance, security, worthiness, belonging and purpose and influence the sense of worth that we obtain from participation and the sense of obligation and/or level of commitment we attribute to our chosen and essential occupations. Our end goal is to feel competent at doing the things we value and in turn, we tend to enjoy more the things that at which we are accomplished and tend to feel bad when we cannot do the things that we deeply care about.

Interests are what we find enjoyable and are maybe the most valuable tools in the OT’s tool box; a person’s interests can continue to energise volition even in the depths of the wildest storm. When we consider a person’s interests we look at what a person enjoys doing, what satisfies them and the unique pattern of participation that a person has. Although commonly overlooked, one of the most pervasive effects of impairment on occupation, is its influence on how we obtain satisfaction and pleasure from our interests (Wook Lee and Kielhofner, 2017). There are many things that come hand in hand with disabilities that impact on our ability to experience pleasure; pain, fatigue, cognitive impairment, physical inability, social stigma and lack of opportunities to name a few. And, it has long been known that inactivity and an inability to participate in our chosen occupations can result in a low mood, as well as, depression and other mental health conditions negatively impacting on people's ability to enjoy their interests, which leads us very nicely to the fact that physical and mental health are intertwined. Our role as Occupational Therapists is to enable our clients to reconnect with their interests, or where this in not possible, support the development of new interests and harness these to achieve occupational flow and therefore, reignite volition. #OccupationalTherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #Occupational_Therapist #OT4Life #RehabOT #OccupationalTherapyStudent #OTMentor #OTMentorship #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #ILoveOT #OTsOfInstagram #OTEntrepreneur #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #NeuroOT #RoleEmergingOT #NonTraditionalOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

There are two dimensions to personal causation: * Sense of personal capacity * Self efficacy Our sense of personal capacity is an active awareness of ones capabilities for doing the things that we want and need to do. When our sense of capacity is challenged by pain, fatigue and/or limitations of sensation, cognition or movement we can feel trapped within our body (Sienkiewicz-Mercer and Kaplan, 1989) and/or feel a sense of failure and shame. When shame or fear governs our sense of capacity, we are discouraged and will avoid taking risks or, learning new tasks due to a fear of failure. Therefore, a negative view of our capacity can be as limiting as the impairment itself. Our self efficacy describes how we use our capacity to impact what happens in our life. It encompasses the perception of self-control and being able to achieve what we desire. To utilise our self efficacy, we must be able to shape or contain our emotions and thoughts and exercise control over our decisions and actions. The loss of ability associated with physical disability and/or mental health conditions significantly impacts self efficacy and in turn, can create a dependency on others, which further exacerbates feelings of inefficacy. Many factors (cognition, denial, avoidance and projection, secondary gains related to disability etc) influence our ability to self appraise and can bias a person's perceptions. If we over estimate our abilities, we may take unnecessary risks by seeking challenges that are higher than our performance capacity. While those, who underestimate their abilities may avoid participating in occupations and/or become reliant on support, which will negatively influence participation in daily occupations and/or therapy input. #OccupationalTherapy #OTforKids #OTforAdults #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Working with someone who is finding it difficult to express their interests verbally or, formulate goals? Have you tried the VQ? The PVQ and VQ were developed to assess volition in service users that are experiencing severely restricted volition and/or communication and cognitive limitations. The assessments recognises that volition is unique for each individual and that understanding how each individual is motivated is essential to client-centred services. They also acknowledge that each individual responds differently to different environments and that it is important to understand how factors in the environment may contribute to the client's motivation. The PVQ is designed for children aged 2-6. The VQ is for older children, adolescents and adults. #OccupationalTherapy #OTforKids #OTforAdults #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #StandarisedAssessment #OutcomeMeasure #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Humans have a fundamental need to act, this coupled with an awareness of our potential creates an inbuilt desire to utilise this power, with failure and/or an inability to use this power resulting in dysfunction and unhappiness. Thus, begins the concept of volition. This fundamental, neurological need for action is the foundation of a person's drive to engage in occupations and encompasses how a person feels about oneself. Our volition can be disrupted and/or follow patterns linked to emotional, cognitive, physical, psychological, and/or environmental restrictions or limitations. We break these patterns or end these disruptions by creating new interpretations of ourself and our environment through exposure to new choices and new experiences. Along with patterns and/or hiatuses, our level of volition (less or more) can change and therefore volition is represented by a continuum. The continuum, from less to more, is represented in three stages; exploration, competency and achievement. For a person to proceed through the continuum requires an increased sense of capacity and efficacy, greater attraction to and satisfaction from doing and an ability to invest in and realise their own values in what they are doing. To understand a person’s volition, where they are on the continuum and how we as therapists will enable change we must consider personal causation, values and interests as three interwoven components; we want to feel competent at doing the things that we value and we tend to find the things we do well enjoyable. Therefore, as therapists we must spend time to unpick what motivates our clients and why, considering the relationship dynamically and how each part is affected by the other. #OccupationalTherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Our sense of personal capacity is a self assessment of one's physical, intellectual and social abilities (Harter, 1983, 1985; Harter and Connel, 1984). It is an active awareness of our ability to do the things that we want and need to do. This knowledge is built up over time through our own observations of how we perform and the achievements we experience. As we travel through our life our capabilities change, so too does our sense of capacity. For example, a young child may measure their personal capacity by learning to walk or play with a new toy, while an older child maybe mostly focused on their ability to perform academically, socialise with their peers and/or participate in their hobbies. Our measure of our capacity will again shift as we move into our teenage years and we start to think about what next after school, our potential career choices and further education. As an adult, we tend to derive our sense of capacity from our ability to perform at work and/or manage our responsibilities (running the household, childcare, caring for family members) and therefore, measure ourselves against our idea of what level we should be performing at, which is influenced by our culture/society, the expectations of others and ourselves. When our sense of capacity is challenged by pain, fatigue and/or limitations of sensation, cognition or movement we can feel trapped within our body (Sienkiewicz-Mercer and Kaplan, 1989) and/or feel a sense of failure and shame. Reduced tolerance levels and high levels of frustration, poor concentration and an expectation of failure can also lead to disengagement or, even avoidance in participation and impact on one's willingness and ability to set occupational related goals, and/or enable follow through. When shame or fear governs our sense of capacity, we are discouraged and will avoid taking risks or, learning new tasks due to a fear of failure. Therefore, a negative view of our capacity can be as limiting as the the impairment itself.

Occupational scientists believe that humans have an innate need for occupation and that we need to engage in occupations in order to flourish. Therefore, without participation and/or balance amongst our occupations, we become dysfunctional, which ultimately impacts or health and well-being. Thus, resulting in the development of a new condition and/or exacerbation of a pre-existing condition. #OccupationalTherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

One of our very first discoveries as a child is that there is an interaction between what we want to do, how we achieve it and the subsequent consequences of how we act. As we grow, learn and experience this, so too does our understanding of our self, how effective we are and the changes that we can elicit on our environment; this is referred to as our personal causation. As a result, our personal causation is influenced by the result of these interactions and ultimately forms how we think and feel about what we do which, in turn becomes a powerful motivational influence. For example, have a positive experience and our sense of competence and effectiveness will grow, thus encouraging us to try more/do new things, utilise the feedback available to us to correct our performance and preserve to achieve our goals. While, if we have a negative experience, we will feel incapable and lack a sense of efficacy, which will lead to us shying away from opportunities, avoiding feedback and make it more likely that we will not persist with achieving our goals (Burke, 1977; De Charms, 1968 and Goodman, 1960). #OccupationalTherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Being a “MOHO Therapist” is to be an organised thinker, who deals in detail while following intuition. As “MOHO Therapists” we prioritise our client’s sense of autonomy, dignity, desires, values, and capacity. We are adaptive to the ever changing dynamics resultant of interactions with our environment. We notice the most subtle of gazes or indications of interest and can turn this into an opportunity for connection, fostering that fleeting demonstration of volition. As “MOHO Therapists” we are creators of possibilities. #occupationaltherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

MOHO was developed when most models in occupational therapy focused on impairment (Kielhofner, 2004). It is now supported by a substantial body of research which has been generated over the last forty years. The original intention of the the model was to fill a gap that existed in occupational therapy knowledge and to compliment the focus on impairment with an understanding of the client’s motivation and lifestyle and the environmental context. It provides a range of resources through assessments and case examples, intervention protocols and programs to aid occupational therapists in linking theory to practise. Therefore, seeking to explain how occupation is motivated, patterned, and performed while incorporating respect for each clients individuality and cultural background. #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Our personal causation or, sense of competence and effectiveness starts to develop during childhood and develops with each experience we have. Our sense of personal capacity is how we measure how effective we feel that we are and is a key component of personal causation and therefore, a direct influencer of our volition. When our sense of capacity is challenged by pain, fatigue and/or limitations of sensation, cognition or movement, we can feel trapped within our body (Sienkiewicz-Mercer and Kaplan, 1989) and/or a sense of failure and shame. So what can we do as occupational therapists to enable change in a person’s personal causation? We can ... ✔️Enable better understanding of occupational capacities (strengths and limitations). ✔️Encourage a more accurate interpretation of how strengths and limitations impact on performance. ✔️Encourage/support emotional acceptance of limitations and facilitate pride in occupational abilities. ✔️Work towards reducing unnecessary feelings of dependance, resentment or guilt associated with the loss of participation. ✔️Increase opportunities for occupational participation that match performance capacity. ✔️Build confidence. ✔️Encourage acceptance of using adaptive aids / environmental modifications to increase capacity via education for need. ✔️Reduce anxiety and fear of failure. ✔️Seek ways to improve the person's ability to sustain participation and therefore, enable attainment of goals and/or completing occupational performance. ✔️Widen expectation of success. ✔️Extend readiness to take on occupational challenges and responsibilities. ✔️Increase sense of efficacy in occupational life circumstances. How have you recently helped a service user to build their confidence? #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ModelsOfPractise #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT

Interests are what we find enjoyable and are possibly the most valuable tools in the OT’s tool box; a person’s interests can continue to energise volition even in the depths of the wildest storm. When spend time with our patients or clients, we can begin to understand what makes them tick and with every little thing that we learn about them, we are one step closer to helping them find the key to that door. We are seekers of passion, igniters of faith and finders of hope. We are the warriors our patients/clients need while they find the strength to carve their own recovery path. We are enablers of participation in occupation. #OccupationalTherapy #OccuptaionalLanguage #OccupationalTherapist #OT #OTStudent #OccupationalTherapyStudent #ClinicalSupervision #ClinicalSupervisor #OTMentor #Mentor #OTCoach #OTBlogger #OTBlog #ThisIsOT #OTsOfInstagram #TherapistsOfInstagram #MakingLifeMeaningful #PhysicalHealthOT #MentalHealthOT #PhysicalHealthIsMentalHealth #OTQuote #OTQuoteOfTheDay #QuotesToLiveBy #QuoteOfTheDay #TheMOHO_OT
