Enacta Behaviour Coaching & Consultation

What if we got better at noticing what we want more of?

More movement.
More play.
More moments that feel like us.
And apparently… more unexpected appearances from the dog. 🐾😂

In behaviour science, what we reinforce matters.

In ACT, noticing what matters, and choosing to move toward it, matters too.

We can get pretty good at noticing what needs fixing, changing, or improving. So today, try noticing something worth celebrating too. ✨

What’s something you can praise yourself for today?

What if fall and the changing seasons didn’t have to be about pushing harder?

Maybe it could be a chance to pause, notice what you’ve been carrying, reconnect with what matters, and move into the season with a little more intention.

Despite the song choice 😉, the ACT skill of “noticing” isn’t about making every moment spectacular. It’s about being present enough to experience the life that’s already happening.

And noticing is a skill we can all practice. Right here, right now!

Pause and notice:
Something you can sense — a sound, colour, texture, or movement.

Something you’re connected to — a person, pet, activity, or your surroundings.

Something you might have missed — if you stayed caught up in your thoughts.

No need to make the moment meaningful or force gratitude. Just notice what’s already here.

💛 Save this for a day when you’re feeling disconnected and need a gentle reminder to come back to what’s here.

Consider this your sign to STOP 🛑.

For one song. For 30 seconds.
Long enough to notice where you are and move your body in a way that feels good.
Often times the next values-based action doesn’t need to be profound. Sometimes it’s a dance break!

From a behaviour science perspective, our environment is full of cues that can influence what we do next. And ACT gives us another little piece of the puzzle: notice what’s here, make room for it, and choose what you want to do next based on what matters.

Maybe right now that looks like getting back to work.
Maybe it’s taking a breath.
Maybe it’s stretching, swaying, shaking it out, or putting on a song and moving for absolutely no productive reason whatsoever. 😆

We Pause. We Notice. We Choose. Then carry on.

⚠️ PSA: No actual stop signs were altered or repurposed in the making of this post. 😂 The sign in the original photo actually said “Slow Down. Pedestrian traffic .” This stop sign was AI-generated because, frankly, I think we need more signs like this around.

What brings you satisfaction EVEN when it’s hard to do?

We all make relief moves and satisfaction moves.

A relief move can feel like:
“Ahhh… I don’t have to deal with that anymore.”
We get away from something uncomfortable, and that relief can feel REALLY good.

A satisfaction move feels different. It’s that feeling that can come when we move toward who or what matters to us. It’s “That was hard… AND I’m glad I did it.”
That’s where and come in.
We can get curious about our behaviour:
🤷🏼‍♀️What am I doing?
🤷🏼‍♀️What is pulling me to do it?
🤷🏼‍♀️And where is this move taking me?

Sometimes our moves take us away from the “yucky stuff” inside us (like fear, worry, anger, sadness, physical discomforts, uncomfortable thoughts or feelings etc.)

Sometimes our moves take us toward the people and things that are important to us.

Neither way of moving makes us a “good” or “bad” person. We’re just learning to notice the difference.
Because relief can be powerful. And sometimes it’s exactly what we need.

BUT if relief keeps choosing our moves, we might find ourselves getting further and further away from the life we want. And sometimes? A move can bring relief AND satisfaction.

So, we don’t need to judge the move. We can notice it.
🤷🏼‍♀️Is this a relief move, a satisfaction move… or maybe a bit of both?
🤷🏼‍♀️And where is it taking me?

Notice. Allow. Move.

What’s something about YOU that you hope you never become too “professional” to bring into the room?

Somewhere along the way, “professional” can start to mean polished, serious, and always having it together.
But professionalism doesn’t require us to edit out the playful, joyful, or occasionally “ridiculous” parts of ourselves. 😜

As Behaviour Analysts, how we show up matters. We’re humans working with humans and sometimes connection asks for a little willingness to feel awkward, look silly, or wonder what others might think in service of what we value.

That’s ACT in action for me. I don’t have to get rid of the “What are people going to think?” thought before choosing joy, playfulness, authenticity, or connection.
I can bring the thought along…and apparently climb a lamp post anyway. 😂

Maybe professionalism isn’t about showing less of who we are. Maybe it’s about knowing how to bring our humanity into the work in ways that serve the people we’re supporting.

So here’s your gentle reminder: don’t become so focused on looking professional that you forget to bring your humanity into the room. 💕

Sometimes we get pulled so close to our thoughts, feelings, and other messy internal experiences that we forget there’s a whole world around us.

The next time that happens, try this:
💧Imagine placing each difficult thought or feeling on a raindrop and watch it fall🌦️

The goal isn’t to make the thought disappear. It’s to create a little space between you and the thought, so it doesn’t have to hold all of your attention.

Then gently anchor yourself to help with the present moment.
- Maybe that’s stretching your feet.
- Maybe it’s noticing the softness of your favourite sweater or blanket.
- Maybe it’s being near or petting a pet.
- Maybe it’s holding a warm drink.
- Maybe it’s listening to the rain or,
- Maybe it’s feeling your breath moving in and out.

The goal isn’t to get rid of what’s happening inside you.
The goal is to remember that your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations are only one part of your experience, not the whole of it.

That’s : making room for your inner experience while reconnecting with what matters in the present moment.

🛟Save this for the next time your inner world feels louder than the world around you 💕

This week, something unexpected activated a very real fear response in me. It wasn’t something I needed to talk myself out of. It was something I needed to pause what I was doing and respond to in a way that helped my nervous system find safety quickly.

Like in dance, sometimes the pause is part of the choreography. You step away, find your footing, and when it’s safe to do so, you step back into what matters.

I was hoping to watch the sunset that evening, but I didn’t get to. So a few days later, I found a different place to watch it. Not because the fear had disappeared, but because I didn’t want one difficult moment to take away something that brings me peace.

To me, this is psychological flexibility.
It’s choosing safety when you need it while choosing not to let fear permanently shrink your world.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is step away. Sometimes it’s finding another path back to what matters. Both can be values-based choices.

🌅 What’s one small way you’ve found your way back to something that matters after life threw you off course? 🌅

I used to think I needed the right mood, the right day, the right version of myself.
Now I don’t wait as much.
Just noticing what’s here in each moment - rain, heat, injury, whatever the body brings, and choosing movement that feels possible in that moment.

This is the kind of work I do with people.
Learning how to move with life, not against it.
