The following ideas are taken from the book: Awaken Your Inner Giant by Anthony Robbins.
For a change to have value, it needs to be lasting and consistent.
Many people avoid change for fear that it will only be temporary.
Three fundamental principles for change:
1- Raise your standards
Make a list of everything you no longer accept in your life, everything you no longer want to put up with.
Make a list of your aspirations
Be demanding of yourself, to change you need to have the COURAGE to demand more.
2- Change your limiting beliefs
There’s no point in deciding to change if you doubt your ability to do so.
You have to believe in yourself, or you’ll be your own saboteur.
Develop the conviction that you can and will achieve the new standards before you try.
It is the consistency of your convictions that will give you access to inner resources and the ability to face the challenges that arise.
Strengthening convictions, a sense of certainty, is the force behind every great success throughout history. E.g. Gandhy, Bill Gates,…
3- Change your strategy
You need the best strategies to achieve results.
Find a role model, someone who is already achieving the results you want, and exploit their knowledge. Find out how she does it, what her basic convictions are, how she thinks…and improve the details to become even better.
“In life many people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know”
Find a Coach, what does a Coach do?
Set up strategies to change your performance immediately and drastically.
Sometimes the Coach doesn’t tell you anything new, but reminds you of something you already know and encourages you to do it now.
A Coach will enable you to master the 5 areas of your life that have the greatest impact.
Five areas of life that need to be mastered in order to achieve your goals
1 Emotional Control
Everything we do is to change the way we feel (e.g. nobody wants to lose weight simply to have fewer fat cells in their body, but rather to feel good, attractive, energized, etc.).
To take control of your emotions, you need to identify the emotions that strengthen you and the feelings that weaken you, and use both to your advantage, as tools to help you develop your full potential.
2- Physical control
You need to take control of your physical health, not just so that you look good, but so that you feel good and know that you are in control of your life in a body that radiates vitality and allows you to reach your desired state.
3- Controlling Relationships
Create quality relationships, first with yourself, then with others.
Have deep relationships, so that you can experience the feeling of having contributed, of knowing that you make a difference in other people’s lives.
4- Financial Control
Have the conviction that you deserve to enjoy financial well-being, backed up by a viable plan to turn everything you’ve imagined into reality.
Think of money not as an end in itself, but as a resource to contribute to the life you want.
5- Time control
Take the time factor and manipulate it, distort it so that it becomes your ally and not your enemy.
Evaluate how short-term decisions can lead to long-term failure.
Make a real decision to replace instant gratification with a truly significant transformation in your life. Give yourself the time you need to realize your ideas, creations and full potential.
Be persistent day after day, week after week, year after year to take your life to the next level.
So? What’s the first step you’ll take now to start the change you need to make in 2018?
