When faced with a frustrating stimulus, do you react or do you respond? If we’re honest, most of us would admit that we react in ways which hamper our ability to net positive outcomes more often than we would like.

Do You Struggle to Stay “On Plan?”Don’t Eliminate… Integrate!
An TKN, people often come to us with a long-standing history of yo-yo dieting. It’s not that they can’t lose weight, it’s that they can’t sustain the weight loss. Why is it that so many people struggle with this issue? Obviously, there’s all kinds of factors which are unique to the individual, but there’s also…

#KaciDoesKickStart – Distract the Toddler!
This week as part of the KickStart Program, we are learning how to tame our inner toddler (the brat that screams for unhealthy coping mechanisms when we are stressed, bored, etc.) and say yes to ourselves instead of giving into the “child’s tantrum.” We were tasked to come up with our own distraction techniques and…
Kaci’s Friday Find — Intelligent Change Five Minute Journal App!

Lean In
The thing you’re resisting might be the very thing you need the most. If something bumps up against your comfortable bubble, how do you respond? I’ll be the first to admit that I usually want to respond by pushing it away. But I’m learning to pause and check myself more. The truth is, comfort zones…
Don’t Forget That Small, Imperfect Steps Still Add Up!
If consistency with healthy habits is something you struggle with, remember you don’t need to do all the things all at once! And you don’t need to have it all figured out for it to be beneficial. Striving for perfection can keep us from actually implementing. Just get started in whatever what you can and…

The “Action Harvest”AKA The Behavior/Outcome Hierarchy
The Behavior/Outcome Hierarchy… what exactly does that mean and how can we use it? Not every decision you make or action you invest in carries the same amount of return for the time, effort, and mental energy spent. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t occasionally plant the lower yielding crops, but only that you…
Habits Are Like Seeds
Habits are like seeds. If you don’t like the fruit you are seeing in your life, plant new seeds by changing your actions (i.e. starting implementing different habits) so that you get different outcomes. But don’t get frustrated when there isn’t a harvest overnight. The seed must sprout and the plant must grow strong before…
