How to change any behavior?

It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or at what stage you are in life. You may probably want to change your behavior. But how? Everyone has heard the phrase at least once: "people do not change." Change is not a choice. So is it true, or can people change? Let's discuss it in this post. Let's start with the basics:

The brain has two independent systems working at the same time.?

• The emotional side is the instinct, which feels pain and pleasure. This side hates doing things without an immediate payoff.
• The rational side is known as a reflective or conscious system. His analysis is almost always directed at problems rather than at bright spots. Sometimes this side sees problems everywhere and goes into an "analysis paralysis."?

So people tend to see change as hard because it requires much self-control. When change is wanted, you must reach the two brain sides; otherwise, you will have direction without motivation.?

Why do people lack resistance?

Change always comes with resistance. It's the beginning stage of change. Resistance to a new action or thing. It is because the analytical side of the brain lacks direction; it leads the emotional side in circles. What looks like resistance is often lacking clarity.

Clarity dissolves resistance

Breaking cycles from the core:

People tend to do what's easy and available when they want to change a vice. If you wish to change your drinking behavior, you must not go after the drinking habit but against the purchasing habit. Remember that knowledge does not change behavior. Not because you know that smoking harms your body, you will stop doing so.??

How to change behaviors

Change is hard because we must convince our emotions to take the uncertain path even though it doesn't seem convincing. We must script the critical moves of the new strategy if we want to change something. Make your team stay focused on the critical moves only. They will not get overwhelmed, they will not get exhausted, and they will achieve more.?

We want a goal that can be accomplished in the short term, not the long term. When the goal is in years, we will not pursue it. Fall in love with your long-term goals with short-term critical moves.?

Emotional goals perform better than financial goals. It's better to set a goal like improving customer service rather than decreasing 10% refunds. It strikes directly into the brain's emotional side and is where change occurs.?

?According to the book Awaken the giant within by tony robbins, there are 3 Elements of change:

1.- RAISE YOUR STANDARDS- the most important thing is changing what you demand of yourself. Write down all the things you no longer will accept.?

2.- CHANGE YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS- you'll lack that sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity within you, even as you read this. We must develop a sense of certainty that we can and will meet the new standards before they do.?

3.- CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY- Many people know what to do in life, but few actually do what they know.

Remember always that the emotional side of the brain really hates to fail. Do not disappoint about change, and remember that: Everything is hard before it is easy.

In the business world, people reject the growth mindset. Businesspeople tend to think in two stages: You plan, and then you execute. There is no learning stage. So everything can look like a failure in the middle.?

In times of change, we need to remind ourselves, again and again, of certain basic truths. Our brains are muscles, and they can be strengthened with practice.?

Our inspiration to change comes from our desire to live up to our identities.?

Never forget that motivation comes from confidence. Your brain's emotional side must have to believe that change is possible.?
