So Far You’ve Learned:• Habit Change Coaching Method foundational
concepts and skills
• 6-step system for creating your best self
The Habit Change Coaching Method Foundational Concepts and SkillsThere are 3 levels of change
1. Behavior
2. Beliefs
3. Identity
In order to create and sustain long term habit change—in order to become a Master of Habit Change—you have
to dip into belief and identity change.
Beliefs are what I believe to be true about myself, others, and the world
Identity is who I am in the world based on my constellation of beliefs
Because Belief and Identity change resolve the inner conflict between the primal brain, or Critter Brain and
the human brain, or Cortex...
...if this inner conflict is not resolved, then no long term habit change can occur.
Eight Foundational Skills of the Habit Change Coaching Method
1. Active Listening
2. Eliciting Experience
3. Designing Empowered Action Steps
4. Planning and Setting Meaningful Goals
5. Trusting Yourself
6. Asking Transformational Question Sequences
7. Reframing

To help you have the most fun with this exercise, it will be useful to have your class notes handy—so if you have
a class notebook, have that nearby, or if you've been taking your notes online, have that file open.
It will also be useful to print the handout below this video so you can fill it in as we walk through the exercise.
Past Me• Think back to who you were then, the person you
were when you decided to say YES to this journey...do you have that “you” in mind?
• “Before I started this training, I was struggling with __________.”
• “If there is one word to describe me back then, it would be __________.”
You can pause the video to write your answers.

To complete this step, you’ll want to reference your class notes, or the handout below that shows the 6W’s and all
the steps in each one.
For each one of the 6W’s, you’ll fill in the table with concepts you loved, and what you discovered about yourself.
Present Me (Example)
Concepts I Love... What I’ve Discovered About Myself…
WHY • Why diets don’t work• Reducing and/or coping better with stress is the #1 most important
thing we can do
• I forgave myself for all the diets I felt like I “failed” - I didn’t fail thediets, they failed me!
• I never really acknowledge how stressed I am - I just push through it until I eventually fall down (probably not a great strategy)
WHAT • Magic Plate• Movement
• I feel so much better when I balance macronutrients!• I started walking 10,000 steps a day and I feel great! I didn’t realize
how much I missed being outside every day
HOW • 20 Minute Meal• I never gave myself time to eat and actually enjoy a meal! Now I do
and I don’t feel deprived
