Change-and I'm not talking menopause.........

Shaping behaviour through change is hard to do. Falling into the old habits is SO much easier! Let's say I set a goal, then follow the steps to achieving the goal. What keeps me from reaching that goal?



Is it mental attitude?

Is it familiarity with the old behavior and how comfortable that is?

It is a lack of desire to change or to follow through on changing the bad behavior?



Yes, yes and yes.



Why do diets fail? Or for that matter, why is any behavior change unsuccessful?What is the one thing that keeps me from losing weight, sticking to a budget or any other behavior I am trying to change?



I would have to say it is in the mind-the mental arena is where change takes place. Your thoughts govern your actions, so without the proper mindset and mental attitude-that is why I keep 'going around the same mountain" so-to-speak.



The mind is the battleground and the fertile breeding ground for change.


Contemplation focus:
The mind must see visual achievement of the purpose before action is initiated.
