#1 Question On How To Change Now

Why is change so challenging?

We see the leaves change their colors during the fall. Other changes in nature seem to happen predictably and without difficulty.

We wonder why is change so challenging for us. We are creatures of habit. That allows us to more easily maintain good and productive habits. It is the same thing that challenges us to move beyond habits that no longer serve us and create new ones to replace them. We experience a natural sense of inertia.

I have spent 15 years helping individuals create their Unique Definition of Success and then to achieve it by overcoming emotional trauma, procrastination, and obstacles of all sorts in the process.

The most common question I hear from clients and prospective clients is “How do I actually change ….. and sustain that change long term?”

How often have you heard “You start with the low-hanging fruit?” But what does this mean?

Practice creating and sustaining a new habit by starting with something easy. Use it to become comfortable with my 5 Step Simple Habit Creation Formula. This is the same formula you will use to create more challenging habits but by becoming comfortable with it now you create a foundation on which to build.

Think of this as the kindergarten method of habit creation. Right now you will use it to create a kindergarten-level habit. As you become comfortable with it you will have 4th-grade level habits, middle school level habits, high school level habits, universities level habits, and ultimately post-doc level habits. It can be used successfully for all of these.

The process will be the same. The complexity and the significance of the habit will change. As you gain a comfort level with the process it allows you to confidently focus on the substance of ever-increasing challenges requiring new and more challenging habits.

The 5 Step Simple Habit Creation Formula is

What is something you want to change? Be absolutely clear about what it is.
How can you change it? (this is conceptual at this point).
Why do you want to change it? (for this to work it must be so powerful you emotionally connect with it at your gut level).
Create an action plan — this is where the conceptual becomes concrete and specific. Your action plan is comprised of 1–3 specific actions you will take today to move you forward.
How will achieving this change your life? This is building off of why you want to change something and create a new habit.

The most common change I hear people choose when we are looking to identify their low-hanging fruit is that they want to get up when the alarm goes off and not hit the snooze button. We will use it as our example.

What — Get up when the alarm goes off. Part of this is mindfully choosing what time to set the alarm for.

How — Place it across the room requiring you to get up to shut it off. That makes it impossible to simply roll over and hit the snooze button. Having paddled across the room gives you the time why to remember why you set the alarm for when you did.

Why — You set the alarm at that time for a specific reason. Was it to allow time for a morning routine that you know makes your day better when you adhere to it? Was it to have quiet time to write or exercise before everyone else gets up. This why will propel positive action when it is something that resonates with you at your gut level. Absolute clarity about your why is essential.

Action Plan — This is where you flesh out the details of your how. Go to bed at a reasonable time so that when your alarm clock goes off in the morning you have had an adequate amount of rest. Once you turn off the alarm what are you going to do specifically in that first hour? Be specific … personal hygiene, exercise, inspiration, meditation, and prayer, gratitude, action plans for the day. When you know exactly what actions will transpire immediately after shutting off the alarm, you are creating a productive functional habit.

How will this change your life ?— What will you accomplish as a result that you have been procrastinating? How will that change your life? How will it enhance your self-esteem as you see yourself keeping promises to yourself? Enhanced self-esteem will definitely change your life. You are learning you can trust yourself as at the end of each day you have a personal accountability session. That will definitely be a life changer.

How often have you heard to put the alarm clock across the room if you have a hard time getting up? Perhaps you have tried it and failed miserably yet the core of this example is to put your alarm clock across the room.

What is the difference? When you use the 5 Step Simple Habit Creation Formula you are effectively building scaffolding to support the accomplishment of something you have failed to accomplish previously. In this case, actually getting up and staying up when the alarm goes off.

As you become accustomed to the process your confidence will grow to allow you to use it as a support structure to set yourself up for success with ever more challenging goals. It is also the same support system that sustains long-term change through the creation of new habits.
