Have you ever stood in the kitchen crying? or any other arbitrary location that doesn’t typically cause tears? How do I change? What do I eat to feel better? What do I do to let go of the extra weight? How can I heal more quickly? How do I achieve the strength and power in my body I crave at the gym and in the mirror? How to move into successful mindset, career, relationships, etc.?
You are aware. You have considered and possibly already educated yourself. You have a path in mind that you are interested in taking for your well-being and self promotion. How do I change and keep the desired transformation I long for? Some people cold-turkey their life transformations in wildly dramatic ways and change happens in a moment. For those who haven’t found they are ready, able, or motivated yet still desire redesign…Let’s start at the very beginning.
We are going to gather up all your strengths (in this post), supports, life values, motivations, and future visions in other posts, to create a foundational spring board you can bounce from into success.
You have so much of what you need; let’s highlight it. Self-efficacy, the belief that one has the capability to initiate and sustain a desired behavior, is one of the most important outcomes that could happen with our time together. Self-efficacy with improved self-image (becoming one’s best self), a lasting powerful mindset, and behavior change is the goal. Our time together is for you to achieve and sustain the goals that brought you to this site today and to feel confident in your ability to attain new goals in the future and navigate challenges well as they arise. In other words, learn how to change so that you can move on from this Restorative Source partnership in self directed, motivated, and confident ways.
You are powerful, skilled, knowledgeable, and capable.
