An action or motor profile results from the expression of a preference that draws on bodily intelligence. Its role is to ensure that the body–mind relationship allows the body to move freely in order to maintain overall coherence and balance.

The body has a natural intelligence linked to its anatomical structure and its capacity for movement. Lateralities, such as being left- or right-handed, are part of this bodily intelligence.

When the body perceives an inconsistency between intentions and actions, it automatically seeks to adjust by adopting a new posture to maintain global coherence.

Problems arise when we do not allow the body to move freely in order to meet its needs and maintain an adapted posture. Stress, fatigue, and lack of self-confidence can all restrict this freedom of movement.

When we overthink, we risk separating our mind from our body because we tend to ignore bodily needs. In this case, we create an inconsistency between mind and body, which can lead to difficulties in generating effective solutions.

If we trust it, our body has other resources that step in to maintain balance. By connecting to them, the body can adapt to external constraints.

These adjustments happen unconsciously. When we become aware of them, we may actually disrupt them. This often occurs in high-stress situations where the risk of dissociation between mind and body is strong. For example, when emotions overwhelm us, we are not invited to welcome the present moment.

Without realizing it, we prevent the necessary adaptations and become momentarily destabilized. In fact, this is an opportunity for growth—it is by no means necessarily negative. It is a preservation mechanism for our mental and physical health. Recognizing the importance of the mind–body interaction allows the body to adjust freely, creating a dynamic that promotes overall well-being.
