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
