When we first put this topic in our calendar, I (Erin) assumed we would approach it from the perspective of focusing on the small, consistent steps that lead to big-picture changes. After all, this measured approach to lifestyle changes is part of our schtick!

Wow, did this conversation provide so much more! What about when we focus too much on the planning details and lose our clear path to lasting change? Or can we get bogged down in the minutiae of health changes when we really need to check off the bigger action items? In other words, "majoring in the minor" can be both helpful and hindering to our health changes.

Join us as we weave through this intriguing discussion. Using client stories, our own experiences and evidence-based behavior change strategies, we'll help you find clarity on what details to focus on and how to stay the course in your lifestyle changes.
