You yelled at your kids, said yes when you meant no, or spent money you promised yourself you wouldn't, and thought, \"I am failing. This is not working. I should just give up.\" We’ve all done this, which means we’ve all quit on change when we were already in the process, but just couldn’t see it. In this episode, I break down the six stages of behavior change so you can see that you are already in the process of change, even when it doesn't feel like it. You'll hear why shame keeps you stuck, why self-compassion is the bridge to noticing your behavior, and how observing yourself without judgment allows real change to begin. Plus, I share specific prompts and practical ways to work with yourself at each stage so you can finally create the change you want.
