The Skill of Problem Solving

How to get better at not giving up when things get hard. We think that weight loss and creating better habits is all about eat this, not that; move more, get enough sleep, and manage our stress. And yes, that's it on a very basic level, but what happens when we "can't" eat this, have to eat that, can't move like we intended, don't get enough sleep, or manage our stress? What happens then?  For many of us, we give up. There are too many barriers - too many obstacles to overcome.  On this podcast, I'm sharing a simple framework - a series of questions that you can ask yourself that will allow you to start the process of being able to problem solve the solution instead of just throwing up your hands and giving up. Problem Solving is a skill that you can learn, and one that will help you to remain successful long after you've made it to your goal.Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text.
