The Change Agents Podcast With Dr. James Rouse

When we set wellness goals, it's beneficial to focus not only on the end result but also on the positive experiences and emotions we anticipate along the way. This concept aligns with the psychological theory of intrinsic motivation and positive reinforcement. When we connect our wellness or health-related activities to feelings of well-being and positivity, we are more likely to stick with these behaviors over the long term. This is crucial for achieving and maintaining lasting behavior change and improved overall well-being.
