#powerofrelationshipstaps 6 weeks to change a behaviour- neural pathways need to change one step at a time .. but to do it relationship needs to be in play @ThomasAcresPS @tr_high

#powerofrelationshipstaps The behaviour is the tip of the behaviour- what’s beneath the surface is big & complex @ThomasAcresPS @tr_high

[Sean Pope @seanp68]

#powerofrelationshipstaps Do it because it’s the right thing to do, not to avoid pain, not because of what’s in it for me. Build the sense of responsibility.. this takes tome neural pathways etc & must be done within positive relationship @ThomasAcresPS @tr_high
