Dr. Do Little: We sometimes refer to this as Dr. Do Little's two headed push pole llama because we know two heads or two energy sources are better than one. So on the one hand or the one head, if you'll pardon a pun, you're pushed away from the problem because you can't stand it any longer. On the other hand or head, your pull toward change in the new behavior. And our research indicates that using both sources of energy are better than either alone.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why motivation and will power are overrated when trying to make lasting changes
- Why you must understand the 5 stages behavior change and match your activity to the proper stage
- How slips up are inevitable and are perfect opportunities to learn
- How to use conflicting energy sources -the pushing away from unwanted behavior and pulling toward a desired behavior
- Why self monitoring and tracking progress increases your chances of success
