Behavioral ChangeStrategies to develop new habits The Honey Wins Again!“It’s easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar.” It would be surprising if you didn’t agree with that old saying, yet very few of us practice its advice in our daily lives. Well, researchers have proven once again that positive feedback is in fact more powerful than negative criticism at “catching” positive behavior change.
Feeling it's Time for ChangeChange happens gradually. So, if you’re feeling like it’s time to change, celebrate the beginning of a process. Creating change in yourself is a campaign that starts with recognizing a pull within yourself toward something new or away from something familiar. What hook will get you thinking about change? Your too-tight pants might bring the idea to your attention. Puffing your way up a flight of stairs is hard to completely ignore. Losing a large client interrupts the bliss. Feeling burned out suggests something is off. Having your spouse discouraged with you is a strong clue.
