FIGURE 1.

Putative psychosocial mechanisms underlying the effects of meditation-based interventions on exercise re-engagement. The model indicates that the practice of meditation might be particularly effective as a strategy to facilitate emotional reappraisal through the constant reallocation of attention toward the present moment and the repetition of positive messages toward oneself and others. Subsequently, a sequence of psychosocial responses may ultimately stimulate self-care and preservation through the implementation of healthy behaviors.
