When creating a change for yourself or helping  someone else, you need more than just a huge desire to change. Having desire is important, but if you don't know HOW to increase your attention, curb your temptations you'll fall off that pathway. It's easy to lose your desire and fall off.  It happens to everyone. So how do you prevent that?

In this podcast, I will look at how our emotional and physical triggers can help us or hinder us in creating that change. I will also share with you the LEAD acronym that I use to help patients, and myself, stay on track.   

We’ll  also discuss how you can reframe your desires. I've used this strategy to help patients decrease their coffee intake, increase their water consumption, become better listeners, remember to take their medications, connect with their partners better, get rid of nervous tics and much more.  It’s worked so well on one of my patients can't eat a donut anymore. It's also a very fun tool to use and takes little time to learn. A tool every change agent should have in their tool box. Well worth the listen.
