The simple shifts you can make that change your mind about changing your habits.
Last month I announced a change for the podcast – each month we would alternate between the “Dear Progressor” episodes and an interview with a “regular” listener. This month I chatted with a member of this community, who is just like you, because it’s so important for you to see that progress and growth is achievable even if you’re not an expert.
Kendra Brimhall opens up about her progress story, and how she built a constructive mindset around habits. As a self described chronic-monster-list-maker, she would become overwhelmed and felt unsuccessful in her habits. Now, Kendra shares 3 small changes you can make to achieve the habits you want: smart small, change your definition of success, and have a backup plan. You will totally relate to this glimpse into a real life Progressor navigating growth, and especially during these uncertain times.
If you’ve ever found yourself in the valley of disappointment, feeling like a failure as you try hard to grow, then this episode with simple tips and relatable scenarios is for you!
About a few other things…
As we spend this month talking about consistency, it’s so important to address our habits! I disagree with the idea that it takes a certain amount of time before you master a habit. I instead have seen that it’s how often you practice your new habit that helps it stick. If you’re unsure of where to start You can still catch the replay of my FREE class “How to Make Habits that STICK” until August 31st!
A common complaint I hear when it comes to beginning counseling, is the overwhelm associated with getting started. It’s hard to know where to look, and who you’ll possible end up seeing. Better Help takes care of all of this by allowing you to receive counseling in an online environment, and handling everything if you need to switch therapists.
