"Why is changing behavior so difficult?"
This question has been on my mind for a long time. Do you have any thoughts on it?
I feel like I have a hundred projects on the go—small personal initiatives I started but mostly abandoned whenever they required changing old habits. And don't get me started on the setbacks everyone is familiar with.
It’s worth taking a look at James Clear, who has dedicated himself to this very topic. What became strikingly clear to me while reading his book *Atomic Habits* is this:
We don't actually need to focus primarily on changing our habits. We need to create an identity that aligns with the new, desired habits. Then, putting them into practice follows almost automatically—and with greater ease.
In my professional life, I’m used to setting measurable goals and requiring my clients to do the same. What’s missing—or underdeveloped—is system stability: the process that leads to achieving those goals. A goal dissolves once it’s reached; if it’s missed, it breeds frustration. Neither scenario is particularly motivating. But what if we created a process that aligns with our goals and makes them achievable?
I hadn't connected the dots in this way before, but everything is falling into place. NLSP is one possible path. It directly addresses the reshaping of identity and liberation from the limiting programming of one’s personal past.
It’s an exciting prospect for me.
