Doing more of what is working well

Yesterday, I referenced Seth Godin's e-book (seriously worth the read -- free download, how can you lose??). While I was reading this morning, I came across a page talking about change. Information on making changes comes through to me all the time -- it is what I seek out because it is the heart of my work with clients.

Here is what has shown up from at least 6 avenues recently:

We are taught to focus on what is not working in our lives -- Thought being : If we can see what is broken, we can fix it. However ... what if we asked ourselves "What IS working today?" And then, "How can I do more of that?"

With my personal training clients, it is important for me to figure out and re-enforce with them the things they like about activity -- how can I get them to do more of what they already like??

Same with my Eating Coach clients -- where are they already being successful and how can we build on those successes?

If you like food, how can you learn to like food more? Increasing the attention you are paying to what you're eating will allow you to develop a greater appreciation for the food you love.

If you like leaving the table feeling full, let's give you a vocabulary to describe what sensations you like so you can maximize those.

If you like and feel successful when you leave the table guilt-free, how do we build on that feeling so you experience it more often?

Asking questions, building relationships (with your support system and with yourself)and moving toward something will encourage positive behavior changes. An upward spiral, if you will. Each success makes you want to have another because the experiences are rewarding.

So the question is:

What is working for you? (I won't except the cop out "nothing is working well" -- think harder!)

And how can you do more of that today?
