Welcome to our podcast on overcoming mindset barriers in health behavior change. I'm your host, and today we'll explore common obstacles and practical solutions for various aspects of health and wellness.
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is the theory that humans have three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, we're more likely to develop intrinsic motivation for behavior change, leading to better long-term outcomes.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, while similar, gives us a more hierarchical structure of human needs. However, both theories emphasize the importance of addressing fundamental human needs for effective behavior change.
Our mindset will affect how we see our struggles, abilities and potential for growth in these areas, so it plays a crucial role in health behavior change.
Join me for today’s episode which explores dominant mindset barriers when trying to adopt healthier habits and solutions for each.
Enjoy!
