Kristin's Coaching Corner

Reader, you may feel pressure from the big bad curated internet to perfectly plan out your meals each Sunday and create a beautifully time-blocked calendar by Monday morning.

But what if your week doesn't "begin" on a Sunday? Or if your planned out morning has hit multiple bumps in the road?

Here's your permission for a reset.

At any time of day or week. Pause. Breathe. Start again from this point.

There's a behavioral phenomenon that loosely explained looks like this - if you're on a schedule where you can only access reinforcement (the good stuff) at certain times, you're going to do a lot less of the desired action in between those times.

Translated to your life - If you're living the story that you must do xyz at certain times to be successful, you're setting yourself up for frustration during the middle times. If there's no way to feel the good (access the reinforcer) between those designated points in time, you're not going to do the action.

If what you just did was not taking you in the right direction, realign and move the needle a bit until you're headed towards where you'd like to be.

Hope this helps guide the rest of your day or week with a reset as needed.

quack, quack, quACK, QUACK, QUACK!

Kristin's Corner My Weekly Top Things I've been thinking about how and why I began offering behavior change services for not only the children and adults that filled up my caseload but the MOMS who I saw truly putting in the work day-in and day-out throughout all the intensive programing. The delivery of these services has adjusted somewhat since first adding this to my repertoire of offerings; and it's ever-evolving still. What I've realized I truly enjoy doing through this avenue is...
