WHAT DO YOU NEED?
There are 3 secret powers that help people successfully transform their energy and health: confidence, importance, and motivation.
Recent psychology-based research has brought to light information on what can help make lifestyle habit changes be successful. Anyone who has ever said, “I know what to do, but I don’t do it” can find ways to motivate themselves. Anyone who has ever said, “I tried and failed” can find ways to feel good about their progress. Anyone who has ever said, “I don’t know where to start” can find ways to feel capable.
The quiz will determine what secret power you need to develop, and the good news is that you can grow and improve if you understand the strategies for making lifestyle changes successful.
