Behavior Change – only YOU can make it happen!

The whole reason I’ve been talking about habits this month AND the part that takes the most intention of all is behavior change.

#1 Changing our habits once they become bad habits.

#2 Creating new habits when we set a new result we’re looking for.

At first it will be a bit bumpy, uncomfortable, and feel just plain weird. Like rolling over a wooden bridge on your bicycle.

The key is to figure out what activity… behavior… thought process… will get you the result you’re looking for.

Then you need to engage your BRAIN (remember I said habits allow us to not THINK… behavior change is ALL ABOUT thinking).

The reason this is difficult, is the old (and now bad) habit doesn’t require the same level of attention as the one you want to create.

Important Safety Tips:
 Make sure the new behavior will get you the result you’re looking for.
 Check yourself before and after to see if you need to modify your technique ‘next time’.
 Pick an accountability partner who is working on the same result so you can share (and commiserate).

The only way to get different results – is to do something differently!

Give yourself a break if you don’t have instantaneous success, remember change is HARD but the result is worth it.
