          • #46: Finish The Season

            When setting goals it’s important to establish boundaries to avoid negative thinking about your journey. Committing to a certain period and then evaluating afterwards is good for a number of reasons. In this episode, I talk about the importance of “finishing the season”

              • #45: Streaks, Consistency & Habits

                Streaks can serve as both a motivation and a deterrent if you’re not careful. Sometimes it pays to take that sick day. In this episode, I talk about the struggle to leverage streaks in the pursuit of consistency.

                  • #44: The Difficulty in Changing What Works

                    We are typically incentivized to change when we aren't getting the results we want. We are more often to criticism and alternate methods. But what about when we receive criticism and things are going incredibly well? 

                    In this week’s episode, I talk about Tyler Perry movies and the difficulty of changing what works.
