Thank you to my business coach, Joe Stumpf. At our seminar last
week, Joe presented these ideas on changing old habits that no longer
serve us into new actions to get where we want to go. I could relate to
many of them. I hope you find this list as helpful as I did.
OLD HABIT: Giving
up if not perfect
NEW ACTION: Seeking
imperfection
Perfect
is not attainable
Be
willing to go public before its perfect
Progress
not perfection.
OLD HABIT: Once
I overcome resistance it is gone for good
NEW ACTION: One
day at a time, I go to battle with my resistance.
OLD HABIT: Recommit
only when off course (Wait for the pain before I refocus)
NEW ACTION: Hit
the reset button 3-5 times a day.
Find
someone I love and be willing to share, ask for help
OLD HABIT: Judge
my issues as “bad”
NEW ACTION: Accept
my habits as what helped me get where I am, and ask
“will this habit get me where I want to go next?”
OLD HABIT: Closed
down when there is a problem
NEW ACTION: “Open
during remodeling”
OLD HABIT: View
success as an event, the goal to be reached
NEW ACTION: Success
is a process that reveals who I am becoming
OLD HABIT: Hanging
on to my old story
NEW ACTION: Forgive
others and myself, be willing to let go of the past
OLD HABIT: Avoid
difficulty
NEW ACTION: I
know my transformation begins when I turn towards difficulty. I am willing to face the hardest thing
first.
OLD HABIT: Everything
is a curse or a blessing
NEW ACTION: Everything
is a chance to discover my willingness to get past
fear
OLD HABIT: Using
Responsibility as self-motivation
NEW ACTION: Using
Commitment as self-motivation
