Behavioral economics has given us a lot of insights into how we can influence our own and other's behavior. But the approach has some serious limitations, especially when applied to promoting health behaviors.Joining me on the podcast is Michelle Segar, a frequent guest here on the Change Academy. Michelle is an NIH-funded researcher at the University of Michigan. She's also a best-selling author and health coach whose work focuses on fostering behavior change that can survive the complexity and unpredictability of the real world.TakeawaysTake some time on a regular basis to reflect on how your personal values, beliefs, and motivations align with your desired behavioral changes (and vice versa!)Acknowledge emotional and psychological issues that may present barriers to change. Consider seeking support from a mental health professional, especially if you face challenges like depression, anxiety, or past trauma.Take a look at your social and physical environment and think about how these factors impact your behavior. Consider where you might find supportive communities or how altering your environment might encourage positive habits.Consider getting involved with community initiatives or advocacy groups that are working to address broader societal issues that impact our ability to choose healthier behaviors.  For example, groups advocating to make our cities and neighborhoods more walkable or bike-friendly, or organizing mobile farmer's markets, or upgrading local recreational facilities.  MentionedThey Thought We Were Ridiculous (5-part series on the history of Behavioral Economics)Better habits aren't the answer?   (Change Academy Ep #111, with Michelle Segar)No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness, by Michelle SegarThe Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise, by Michelle Certification program for health coaches --Stronger Bones: Practical Strategies for Lifelong Bone Health - Sign up for the LIVE WORKSHOP at http://changeacademypodcast.com/bones ★ Support this podcast ★

What is the key to lasting motivation? Motivation is a topic that comes up a lot in our community. You want to eat right, read more, exercise daily, and meditate regularly. But talking about making a change is often easier than achieving long-term follow-through. I'm excited to have Dr. Michelle Segar on our show today to talk more about this topic. She's an award-winning motivation scientist and researcher at the University of Michigan. She's the author of No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness and she's here to talk about her new book, Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise.

Hi everyone, my name is Daniel Elias and welcome back to another episode of the believe move grow podcast.  Today's feature guest is Kasey Orvidas. I first came across Kasey when I was searching for research on mindset in children and childhood obesity.  Kasey has authored some fantastic research titled Healthy body, healthy mind: A mindset intervention for obese youth. Kasey really knows what she is talking about with a PhD in psychology, a certified health and fitness coach and a specialism in mindset and health behaviour change.  Kasey is also entrepreneurial and has set up her own business named KJO coaching and I will put the links to her website in the resources section.  On her website I would direct everyone to Kasey's blog which is jam packed with useful information on  a wide variety of topics such as how the g,ut is the second brain through to the three elements of behaviour change and much, much more.  Kasey also trains people to gain a ‘Health Mindset coaching certification' and having spent an hour chatting to Kasey on my podcast I can attest to the fact that Kasey's delivery and explanation of mindset is second to none. Todays conversation was epic.  We covered ground on how exercise is non-negotiable in Kasey's life, how when Kasey was young, she was not afraid to follow her own path away from what her peers were doing and how “discomfort breeds growth”. We spoke about how obesity traits and behaviours in adulthood can be linked back to childhood and the importance of children learning fundamental movement skills. We went into detail about what separates a growth from a fixed mindset and how we respond to feedback, setbacks and success.  Kasey speaks to her top tips on how to cultivate a growth mindset in children and the importance of teaching compensatory messaging when teaching growth mindset in children. I had a blast recording his conversation so without further ado please welcome Kasey Orvidas to the believe move grow podcast.

This Move Note is a selection of some of my favorite ideas from ‘No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness’ by Michelle Segar, Ph.D.

I was delighted to spend some time talking with Tamara Greenberg about Intuitive Eating, a lifestyle choice that allows us to develop healthy relationships with our bodies, the movement we do, and the foods we eat. Tamara Greenberg is a certified professional life coach, intuitive eating counselor, speaker, author and corporate trainer. Her book, Hunger Satisfied – My Intuitive Eating Journey, shares her personal journey of dieting and beyond. In the book she explains why dieting does not work. Tamara started her intuitive eating journey in her 20's, but only really shifted into being an Intuitive Eater in her early 40's. Her book outlines a strategy to building a lifestyle based on healthy habits. The focus is to change the way people think about eating, exercise and their body image. She embraces Body Positivity and HAES (Health At Every Size) while staying committed to a healthy lifestyle. Tamara is originally from South Africa and feels blessed to wake up in Atlanta, GA with her husband and 2 teenage children.--and an adorable bishon-poodle.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways When it comes to exercise, DO WHAT YOU CANAnything > nothingResearch indicates people are much more motivated by immediate exercise rewards (AKA how they feel after a workout) compared to long-term weight loss goals, avoiding disease, etc.Give yourself the permission to prioritize your well-being and self-careMake your exercise a learning goal, as opposed to a performance goalExercise will help you sleep better and boost your mood/energy, but when it comes to calorie expenditure, it’s just not that effective compared to optimizing your dietRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIt's a new year and like many people, you may have set a goal to exercise more regularly. But like most people, you've set this goal before only to give up on it after only a few weeks.  Why is it so hard to make exercise a habit? And what can you do to make it stick? My guest today argues that more willpower and discipline isn't the answer. Instead, you need to completely change the way you think about exercise.  Her name is Michelle Segar, and she's a behavioral scientist and the author of No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness. We begin our conversation discussing Michelle's counterintuitive finding that common reasons for exercising like losing weight or even getting healthier aren't effective motivations. And she shares research on how our ideas of what exercise should look like, as well as the propensity towards an all-or-nothing mindset, also set us up for failure. We then discuss why sheer discipline isn't very effective for staying on track either, and why exercise needs to have an immediately positive impact on our lives if we want to stick with it. Michelle and I spend the rest of our conversation discussing the research-backed framework she's developed to help people make exercise a sustainable habit, which includes less emphasis on willpower and more on changing the meaning you lend to physical activity and its priority in your life.

Welcome to Free Thinking Friday, a brief episode where discuss some of the things I’ve been pondering throughout the week. I was alarmed when I woke up and read an article one of my friends posted on Facebook. It talked about the link between Alzheimer's and menopause. At the end of the article, almost as a footnote, they mentioned that no one had yet studied how this affects breast cancer patients on hormone-blocking drugs. I felt like I was going to hyperventilate. The article said that surgical removal of the ovaries increases the risk of Alzheimer's by 70%... This was not exactly the statistic I wanted to wake up to. I did a little digging to see what else I could find about this menopause/Alzheimer's link, and I'm chatting about that research on this week's episode. I also shared an article that discussed why your personal trainer should be as important as your financial advisor. Both of these topics are related, and I hope you enjoy this episode.

If you tuned in last week, you know that I'm excited about using journaling as a way to power up your performance, not just when it comes to health and fitness, but in all areas of your life. I did some killer interviews over the summer with top minds in the health and fitness industry. For this podcast, I looked back through the podcast episodes and used some clips from the interviews as journal prompts.  Tune into the podcast to get the full context. Then, spend some time reflecting and writing about any of the topics that resonate with you. From Sara J Loureiro, Mindset Coach & Business Strategist for women who are on a mission to make a serious impact in the world: We talked about living life "As if..." How would your behavior change in certain situations if you behaved as if what you want has already happened? How might this apply to your life? Is there something big you’d like to accomplish that living As If would help with? From Dr. Heather Denniston, chiropractor with a certification in wellness chiropractic (and a very long list of honors and accolades!): We talked about living a sepia-toned existence, and the influence the small choices we make daily have in our life. This includes several areas of wellness, including: sleep, hydration, nutrition, managing stress, exercise, connection with others, relationships with friends and family, finances and fun. In your journal, jot down one area where you feel like you can improve. Don't try to make a big, sweeping change. Just note one tiny thing you can do this week to make a positive change in your life From Bonnie Parrish-Kell, Chief Diva at Slow Poke Divas: Bonnie began her athletic journey at age 50 and leads a life that shows us all that we are never too old or too out of shape to lead an active lifestyle. We talked about the importance of being patient and not comparing your journey to other people’s journey. Do you ever make poor decisions because you are trying to rush your progress? Or because you lack the patience to see where your path takes you? Do you ever feel "less than" because you are comparing yourself to others? Listen to what Bonnie says in the podcast, and then write about it in your journal. From Dr. Michelle Segar, author of No Sweat! How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness: Dr. Segar has devoted her 25-year career to creating sustainable behavior change for health and well-being, and she is a recognized pioneer in the field. Michelle reminds us to stop being discouraged, and to stop being down on ourselves. You don't need to run a marathon, or put in hours on the bike for it to be considered exercise. Take the time to find ways of moving that are rewarding to you, and find ways to work small bursts of exercise into your day. What are some ways you can work some quick bursts of exercise into your day? If you are trying to find more time to foam roll, or to do strength exercises, or to work in a bit of yoga, how can you fit it in? From Lyn Lindbergh, the Bad Couch Guru, and author of the new book, Couch to Active: We've all been taught that we need more grit... that if we have more willpower, we will be better at sticking to a workout or nutrition plan. Lyn says that grit is bogus (and I agree!) Grit will only take you so far. You need to set up your environment for success, and that includes choosing workouts and workout partners and workout locations that you love! What are you doing in your life that you are gritting your teeth about and muscling your way through? What are some activities that you enjoy that you can look forward to? If you train alone, is it possible to have a day in your plan that's more flexible so that you can spend time with friends who don't have the same physical abilities or exercise interests? How can you apply this to your life? Check in with the group and us know how your journaling is going, and whether this gave you any big insights!   About your Podcast Host: Coach Kim explores topics that will help you power up your life so that you can design a life you love.

Why do some people exercise through stressful times and others stop? Why does one mom put her self-care at the top of the priority list while another puts everyone's else needs first? For a quarter of a century, Michelle Segar has tried to crack the code on why some people lose motivation for healthy habits, and others don't. She's not interested in helping people change their behavior. No, she wants to help people sustain health-oriented behaviors. In part 3 of our behavior series, we get into the psychology and science of motivation. Michelle Segar, Ph.D., MPH is a behavioral sustainability scientist and author of No Sweat! How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness. She is Director of the Sport, Health, and Activity Research and Policy Center (SHARP) at the University of Michigan. Michelle has devoted her career to creating sustainable behavior change and she is a recognized pioneer in the field. For the last 25 years, she has been conducting research and coaching individuals in her three-part system. Based on her extensive research, coaching, and personal experience, Michelle shares the secret ingredients for making healthy behaviors lasting.

If you struggle with exercise, Michelle Segar has a secret for you: Stop blaming yourself! Blame the system! After years of studying the science of motivation, Michelle Segar, Ph.D., Director of SHARP -- the Sport, Health, and Activity research and policy center at the University of Michigan -- has created a framework for rethinking exercise that swaps out prescription for meaning. Filled with practical tips and strategies, Michelle’s bestselling book, No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness, is informed by years of putting these findings into practice with people just like you. Some of the things we discuss in this interview: How systems determine our success in sustaining physical activity Why exercise is about so much more than weight loss Why finding the right whys make all the difference in our health and wellness How reflecting on how we feel when we move can help us sustain activity Why relying on willpower is such a short-sighted strategy The important role of emotions and decision making in activity for life Why meaning trumps should every time when it comes to changing our behaviors How we approach eating following a workout we enjoy versus a workout like work How exercise recommendations became so prescriptive Fewer than 1 percent of American adults know how much exercise is recommended How small of a role logical and rational behavior play in our choosing to exercise Why we need a new kind of fitness prescription based on how we live and feel How we help others when we prioritize our self care How a go-to activity resource prevents us from wasting time and energy Why reflecting on the immediate benefits of physical exercise fuels us long term The importance of finding exercise we love Getting past the idea that movement only counts when we sustain it for periods of time How awareness of our current situation empowers us to take ownership for what we want it to be Why negotiation skills can reap big benefits in helping us create time for physical activity Links to Topics Mentioned in this Podcast @MichelleSegar http://michellesegar.com/ Paulo Freire Dan Ariely Behavioral economics Reward Substitution Self-determination theory No Sweat Resolutions Quiz 2015 USA Best Book Awards SHARP at the University of Michigan If you enjoy the podcast, please rate and review it on iTunes - your ratings make all the difference.

The other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred and fear. The grandson stops and thinks about it for a second then he looks up at his grandfather and says, “Grandfather, which one wins?” The grandfather quietly replies, the one you feed The Tale of Two Wolves is often attributed to the Cherokee indians but there seems to be no real proof of this. It has also been attributed to evangelical preacher Billy Graham and Irish Playwright George Bernard Shaw. It appears no one knows for sure but this does not diminish the power of the parable. This parable goes by many names including: The Tale of Two Wolves The Parable of the Two Wolves Two Wolves Which Wolf Do You Feed Which Wolf are You Feeding Which Wolf Will You Feed It also often features different animals, mainly two dogs.
