A near-death experience inspired Brian Krolczyk, PhD, to shift his professional priorities. He not only became a health & wellness coach, he teaches others to become coaches and is on a mission to help people harness one of our most important health behaviors: our thinking.

Brian Krolczyk, PhD, NBC-HWC, is the director of the Health & Wellness Coaching program at University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point (which I completed in 2020).

In this episode, he shares some incredibly powerful strategies for recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with healthy thoughts that inspire greater peace, ease and vitality. I love his tips and am putting them to use already!!

One of the most important things I learned from Brian in the health coaching program is that thinking is a health behavior -- it's something we DO and it has a significant impact on our life and well-being.

In this conversation, he mentions taking a values inventory.  Here's a sample to consider. We also did this Character Strengths Survey as part of the coaching program.

Our affirmation this week is: I pause and choose healthy thinking.

You can find Brian online at LinkedIn or at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point.
