As a therapist, I often share recommendations from books or articles that I’ve read. I don’t assign homework, that’s not my style- but I will encourage people to try different things out, as a supportive practice to therapy.
The irony is this: I will often recommend things that I think will work but have not actually tried out for myself. I take for granted that the phrase “the research shows...” means the action will likely be helpful.
Well, this year I am going to Walk the Talk, and do my own research.
Its a cliche to start New things on January 1st, but there you are- it’s a new Year, and a MONDAY, and so I embrace the cliche. In the Spirit of Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project) I am going to focus on something different each month, and report findings here.
Let the fun begin ; )
