Fixing Unwanted Behavior
Look underneath the behavior. Find a clearer next step.
Step 01
Recognize the Root of Unwanted Behavior
Pawing, fidgeting, anxiety, or pushy habits are symptoms, not the core issue.
The real solution is understanding why the behavior shows up.
Coach's Tip: Don't get stuck reacting to the behavior itself. Always look underneath it.
Why This Matters: When you fix the cause, the behavior often disappears on its own.
