A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don’t change their habits, only 1 in 7 will be able to follow through successfully.
-Immunity to Change by Kegan and Lahey
Why do we resist
CHANGE?
How Our Brain Works
• 83% of our brain is our subconscious mind and it controls 96-98% of perception and behavior.
• The conscious brain processes 2000 bits of information per second; subconscious processes 400 billion/second
• 50% of our thoughts are genetic-based.
• 96-98% of all your behaviors are automatic. This is why we set goals, but do not reach them!
• Beliefs will trump desires every time!
How the Subconscious Mind Works
• It knows no difference between past, future, present.
• Will give the same emotional response until re-programmed, i.e. push same buttons.
• Will protect itself from change through emotional responses, to the point of war. Survival!
• Constantly working in the present.
How to Change the Subconscious Mind
Trainable like a puppy!
• It cannot re-program itself. It needs its master -- the conscious mind.
• Does not respond to reasoning.
• Responds only to…
Repetitionand
Positive Reinforcement
Do you know what you want to train your puppy to do?
In other words, what do you want to accomplish (or change) in 2011?
The Wheel of LifeTake a look at each piece of the pie. Do any of them jump out at you as current challenges in your life? Are any of your pieces missing? Is your pie round, jagged, or have chunks out of it? Rate each piece of the pie on a scale from 1-10.
How Change Works
• For ‘change’ to happen, you must be willing to let go of something!
• Want vs. Willing: Want is to want change without changing; Willing is taking action to change
• The change must first take place on the inner in order to change the outer.
