Study Notes

Hope and Change

  • Hope is a powerful emotion, inspiring us to create possibilities
  • Reflection on current situation vs. desired future is key
  • Resolutions require consistent action
  • Change isn't about novelty but consistent small steps, daily commitments
  • Focus on the journey, not just the outcome. This involves saying yes to small actions daily

Sustainability of Change

  • "New" is temporary; consistent change is more effective
  • Big goals can be discouraging; break down large goals into manageable parts
  • Instead of "wanting the moon," focus on achievable progress
  • Addressing obstacles and adapting routines are vital to sustained change
  • The perception of progress as loss can hinder change

New Year's Resolutions

  • Resolutions often fail due to unrealistic expectations (e.g., becoming a model)
  • Focusing on the "hero's journey" (small, consistent actions over time) improves success rates
  • Focus on small, consistent commitments; not the final goal
  • The key is saying "yes" to each small step towards a large goal.
  • Don't be concerned about the outcome; focus on the actions themselves; results will follow
  • The current "you" already has the resources for change; look at daily habits differently
  • A focus on the finish line alone can hinder progress
