In the gym a few of my clients and I have been talking about her 4 Tendencies Quiz  and how understanding our “tendency” can lead us to better adherence to our health and wellness plan! I am an “Upholder” which means I am generally good at meeting inner and outer expectations. The problem sometimes with being an Upholder is knowing when to stop. It is why I have a hard time calling it quits. I also have a strong “questioner” tendency which is sometimes seen as a negative (I find it can be for me because I spend a lot of time researching when I could be DOING!). I am curious if you will find this as interesting as I do . Here is the link to the quiz:
