Habits

1- Make it obvious , 2- Make it attractive, 3- Make it easy and 4- Make it satisfying.

Our habits shape our identity. True behaviour change is identity change.

Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on WHAT they want to achieve, but this usually only leads to outcome based habits.

The better alternative is building identity based habits.

This is where we start focusing on WHO we wish to become.

Your values play a huge part in these decisions.

When your behaviours, values and identity are fully aligned, you are no longer pursuing behaviour change.

You are simply acting like the person you already wish yourself to be.

The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do.

It’s a TWO STEP PROCESS:

1. Decide the type of person you want to be- what do you want to stand for?

2. Prove it to yourself with small wins everyday

   The formation of all habits is a feedback loop.

   It’s important to let your values, principles and identity drive the loop, instead of the results.

   So… who do you wish to become???

   Rather than trying to be perfect, just try to be consistent.

   Focus on building the identity of someone who never misses a habit twice.

   You shouldn’t expect to fail, but you should always plan for failure.

   What’s your Plan B for when Life gets in the way and prevents your habit from happening?

   Identify the barriers so you can find solutions to avoid excuses.
