This course is about how to shift habits in order to realize your goals. Behaviour change is difficult, barriers are expected, and progress is not linear. This course will help you navigate the journey of change in an enjoyable, compassionate, and sustainable way.

  • Reconsider weight bias

  • Reflect upon your values and goals. What is your why?

  • Begin to understand why habits are hard to change

  • Learn about wanting, restraint, and resilience: the core processes of sustained positive change.
