E35. Appreciating the Spectrum of Behavior Change: Changing Your Mind About Creating Habits with Health Coach Heather Sayers Lehman

The Air We Breathe: Finding Well-Being That Works for You

This episode peels back the layers of behavior change, underscoring that every small step is a win worth recognizing.
It's not about an all-or-nothing victory; it's about embracing the gray areas where progress truly blooms.
We all face challenges that threaten to derail our health and fitness efforts through illness, injury, or the whirlwind of day-to-day life.
To describe the spectrum of behavior change, I'm going to chat about the following elements:
1. Percentage of success
2. Prepare to fail
3. Knee-jerk reaction
4. Self-forgiveness and self-compassion
We can start confronting our inner critic, transforming it into a voice of encouragement, and adapting when life throws us a curveball.
Flexibility trumps rigidity, and self-kindness unlocks the door to sustainable, healthy habits.
