“Once she arrived at her ideal destination – her goal – she realized it wasn’t what she wanted after all.”A young lady recently confessed that she felt “almost lost” and lacked motivation.Ironically, she felt that way after reaching an important goal.It turns out, she lacked motivation for two reasons.First, the goal’s reality didn’t match expectations.Second, she was struggling to identify what she wanted to pursue next.She found it difficult to get clear on her next ideal outcome – goal.Further, she wanted some assurance that her next goal would be more rewarding.Moving forward, she agreed that she’d:1) Accept that there are no guarantees in the pursuit of any goal.  2) Appreciate how each “wrong” turn provided new information and guidance.3) Forgive herself rather than beat herself up for "wasting time.”With a new perspective, it was easy to notice how her lack of motivation sprung from her inability to become clear on a new exciting new goal. Enjoy the show!Go premium today!

“A key idea behind habit tracking is to use the week's rhythm. Thus, 28 days, not 30 days, ought to be the tracking period for each habit.”There are a handful of authors and behavior change "experts" offering various ideas about habit development.Unfortunately, many are misleading. One such idea is that habit tracking is optional when it comes to habit development.While it’s true that people develop habits without tracking them, those habits tend to be negative.To develop good, positive habits, science has proven that tracking behaviors tends to be very beneficial.Here’s why:Tracking habits not only reinforces the habit itself, it also fosters an ancillary habit: discipline. "Good habits happen when planned; bad habits happen on their own."With The Habit Factor’s P.A.R.R. methodology, habit tracking is required. In fact, the method demands you identify specific parameters and targets for each habit during successive 28-day tracking periods. When you track the intended habit, you not only affirm the behavior, you reinforce your intention to develop the habit.Some habit experts offer concepts like "mini-habits," "two-minute habits," and even present "habit-stacking" and environmental design as "types" of habits that can be developed.Regardless of the process or how you label the habit, it's the practice of tracking, ideally, for 28 days, that will more quickly foster the development of the habit!Enjoy the show!~mgIt's time to go premium!

“You are born alone, and you will die alone.”This week we investigate aloneness. Aloneness is different from loneliness.
In the early ’90s, while backpacking across Europe, I was reading Stephen Batchelor’s Alone with Others, an existential approach to Buddhism.In it, the following ideas are explored:”I was alone at birth; I must die alone; and, in a sense, I amalways alone, for the gulf separating me from others cannever satisfactorily be bridged.” It's either a frightening or comforting thought. Maybe both.Recently, though, I've come to a different realization.While we are born alone, it is with and IN spirit.When we die, it is the spirit that leaves our bodies.Thus, we're not born alone entirely. Nor do we die alone.  Arguably, our spirit is with us. Or, it IS us.Enjoy the show!~mg This is a public episode.

"Energy flows where attention goes."This week we revisit a goal achievement first principle: EVERYTHING IS ENERGY.Suppose everything is energy (and it is). That means you are energy, and your goal will require energy.Interestingly, habits are the most efficient use of behavior energy and this is why The Habit Factor process of habit alignment is so effective.There are two key elements that impact one's behaviors the most over a long period of time; their environment and thinking, which is predominantly in the form of stories).To illustrate MG discusses the "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System," a new behavior model.The "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System" differs from other, prior behavior models:1. It's the only behavior model representing human behavior in an "echo-system" whereby each component influencer reverberates to influence the others.2. It's the only behavior model representing human thought in the form of stories, predominately at its core.3. The behavior model demonstrates how, at any moment, feelings and emotions may be twice as impactful to our behaviors, yet, over a long period of time, they are less significant.Understanding the essence of this behavior model helps you to better appreciate energy and how each component impacts your long-term goals.Enjoy the show!Visit https://thehabitfactor.com/templates to learn more or Google P.A.R.R. and The Habit Factor.------Discover EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY here: https://everythingastory.comGet The Habit Factor® FREE with your audible trial!https://audibletrial.com/habits2goalsIt's time to make your goals "Automatic!"https://automaticgoals.comFeedspot's
