Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits home for me and many of my patients—getting “back on track.” I’m not a huge fan of this term because it implies everything has gone awry, which often isn’t the case. But there are definitely times throughout the year when certain areas aren't as optimal as they could be, and I need to refocus my efforts.

In this episode, we’ll take a positive psychology approach, encouraging you to focus on the healthy habits you’re still maintaining, even if you have drifted “off the wagon” a little bit. Plus, I’ll share the two essential things you need to do to successfully realign yourself with your goals. (Hint: it’s easier than you think!)
