Success in habit change is determined by the journey rather than the destination. It’s about what you do each day to work towards your goal. By setting too high a goal or trying to do too much at once you are essentially setting yourself up for failure. Setting smaller goals or microchanges works in the opposite way. Each time you accomplish your microchange you get a sense of satisfaction from the process and this spurs on your motivation to stick with your goals. Ultimately, small changes, repeated consistently enough, will in time lead to the big results you desire.
In association with PUSH MindandBody I spoke at the gorgeous Havas offices in Kings Cross (best view ever!). In our workshop we talked about:
As a result, Havas employees kickstarted their healthy habit journey by creating their own habit success blueprint.
"Working with Heather was a pleasure from start to finish. From crafting engaging and action-based workshops, through to delivering them with a professional yet natural ease, her passion for her subject really shines through. All of the attendees felt empowered and fully equipped to build on their healthy habits!"
"We recently had Dr. Heather McKee in to speak to a group about “Small changes, big results. How to create healthy habits that last all of 2018” and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Heather was very informative and very interesting. Her interactive approach made the room feel very welcome and comfortable to ask questions. She is highly engaging with the room and her use of handouts in the room makes the process easy to work through. It is great to get some actual live practise in the room using the worksheet. Heather was very motivating and made the session very interesting for everyone. I would recommend her sessions as her steps to personal development are very thought provoking and easy to follow."
"Heather is a very natural and talented speaker who speaks with warmth and a genuine passion for her subject. Heather is always a delight to work with - very professional, engaging and a true expert in her field. Heather is extremely passionate about helping others and manages to take quite complicated scientific research and make it easy and accessible to all."
"Heather delivered a perfect, succinct, workshop. Heather was great - it was all digestible and really helpful. After a long day at work, a powerful hour was perfect."
"I just wanted to say big thank you again for the talk yesterday. I really struggle with being kind to myself, and accepting that what I do or what achieve is enough, even more so since becoming a parent (4years ago) I always think I need to do more. Putting change into practice is really hard for me, but small steps to get there! After your inspiration, I bought a little ‘happy jar’ from one of the stalls yesterday, with little notes to read each day. I shared these with my daughter this morning and she was so eager to read them with me"
"I attended the happy place festival today and listened to your first talk of the day and just wanted to let you know how moved I was by it. I work as a CBT therapist in CAMHS and really surprised myself how emotional I got listening to your talk. Really thought-provoking and definitely made me reflect on the lack of kindness I give to myself. Thank you"
"This talk, it's given me hope. I was trying to hard to be happy not realising the small joys all around me"
"Your healthy habits workshop helped me learn the habits to bring happiness into my day"
"Many thanks for this and your excellent workshop Heather! It absolutely landed with me and has given me a lot to think about."
"Heather presented in a very relaxed manner in a way I really felt I could relate with her. She supported me to take a completely different attitude to instilling new habits."
"Really informative, engaging, interactive and relevant to my everyday life, the speaker really knew her stuff!"
