3 Phases of Change

Ever catch yourself spiraling with frustration after a tense meeting... and think, "Why didn't I stop myself sooner?" Or maybe you're trying to create an exercise habit, and find yourself skipping out most of the time. You're not alone.  And these "fails" don't actually mean you're failing.
