Setting Goals and Changing Behaviors to Feel Better with Dr. Victoria Dalton, PsyD

Many of us want to feel better, but don’t know where to start. We have to define how we are feeling and set personal goals are in order to make any progress. To feel better, we often have to adapt our behaviors and patterns and connect with other meaningful people in our lives. We even have to step outside ourselves and empathize with other people around us. In the end, the most important part of this process is keeping a positive mindset, so that we can problem-solve and plan rather than catastrophize. In this week’s episode, we talk to Dr. Victoria Dalton again about how we can start to feel better. She talks about why humans repeat behaviors, and how we can adapt those same patterns and behaviors. Dr. Victoria Dalton also discusses how to change your mindset, and understand that you can’t always change other people. In her conversation with Rebecca, she emphasizes the importance of not allowing negative interactions to internally influence you and your experiences. She also discusses how and why you should evaluate which patterns and behaviors serve a purpose in your life and which ones are inefficient. She even explains how you can learn from your mistakes and focus on them in a nonjudgemental way. Listen in to learn more about how to set goals for yourself, adapt your behaviors and patterns, and connect with meaningful people in your life to feel better.
