In this Episode, Dr. Karin Nordin discusses the importance of mindset and behavior change in achieving goals. She shares her personal journey of struggling with depression and anxiety and how she found success in applying behavior change techniques to her own life. She emphasizes the importance of awareness, values, and cognitive flexibility in making lasting changes. Dr. Nordin also explains the concept of discipline as a byproduct of various change skills and the need to close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. She offers practical tips for overcoming common challenges and setting effective goals.

Key Takeaways:

• Awareness is the first step in behavior change. Recognize your thoughts, feelings, and actions to gain control over your behavior.
• Avoidance-focused goal setting focuses on what you don't want. Shift your focus to what you do want and set goals aligned with your values.
• Cognitive flexibility is the ability to be flexible with your plans and goals. Embrace imperfection and adapt to changing circumstances.
• Don't believe everything you think. Challenge negative thoughts and ask if they are helpful or aligned with your values.
• Change takes time. Be patient and focus on progress rather than perfection.
