The other reason that you may be stuck is you've just lost steam. And it can kind of suck the steam right out of it.
Struggling to keep the fire burning when it comes to making changes in your life? Dr. Dawn-Elise 'Doc' Snipes is here to help you keep that momentum going in this episode of 'Happiness Isn't Brain Surgery'. Ever felt stuck or burned out halfway through a change process? You're not alone, and Dr. Snipes has some practical advice to help you push through those tough moments.
She starts by emphasizing the importance of defining clear, observable objectives and understanding the benefits of your old behaviors before diving into a new change plan. For those just starting to think about making changes, she suggests simple steps to begin feeling better. Dr. Snipes also highlights the value of using a biopsychosocial perspective to tackle problems, which means looking at issues from biological, psychological, and social angles.
She encourages listeners to challenge themselves through Socratic questioning—asking deep, probing questions to understand their motivations better. To keep motivation high, she recommends creating an environment that supports your goals and using reminders and rewards as positive reinforcement. And let's not forget the power of mindfulness and distress tolerance skills in maintaining new behaviors. With her engaging style, Dr. Snipes makes the process of staying motivated feel less daunting and more achievable.
Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or somewhere in the middle, this episode offers valuable tips to help you keep moving forward.
