What Is A Strong Family Culture?

A culture is a set of attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors shared by a group of people, and passed from generation to generation. You can’t help but to pass the culture down because you inherently become part of your environment. The thing is that we are not just the product of our environment, but creators of our environment. That means that it’s up to us if we want to shift our current culture into a more empowering one. Your culture can block you from being aware of certain things, while bringing other things into your awareness. The power of having a strong and healthy family culture is that we can influence the world. If we want to change the world it starts with us. When people see you and your family, they see what’s possible.

How To Create A Strong Family Culture

1. Get clear on the culture you want to create

What typically happens is that we get born into a culture and we don’t understand that the results that we are getting are a result of it. It could be very empowering, or it could not be. If it was disempowering in anyway, we now know what we don’t want. Get clear on what you want. What does it look like, how are you interacting with each other, what are you doing together? Also, know what your up against. Know the possible obstacles and blocks that are holding your back from getting there.

2. Strive To Create Change

We must demonstrate what health looks like. If we want to influence people, the number one way is to be the model. Show your family what’s possible, and let them know your results. Make what you do look awesome. Set the standard, meet the standard, raise the standard.

3. Create a team environment

Find out what each kids personality, and personalize an approach from there. Everyone has their own things that drive them and make them create change. Create different challenges levels with in health and fitness. A younger kid may need a different approach from an older one. Also, create options so you are co-creating the experience. A cookie cutter approach tends to create resistance. In addition, you can create a family agreement, where everyone feels respected. Lastly, schedule things so you make sure they get done.
