Mindset tool for creating change

In this community we want to focus on how you can stack your healthy habits so they would stay with you and always the important aspect is that we need to create change without stress and overwhelm.

So whether you are aiming to drink more water, eat better breakfasts, swap toru third coffee with the tea etc etc, all this is relevant to you.

This explanation is resonating with me a lot and I find it very useful so I wanted to share what my great colleague

@Ahmy Brock

has written about it. I let the expert speak :)

The Stages of Change

Stage 1: Awareness - you cannot change what you are not aware of

Stage 2: Reflection - now that you are aware, you can look back and identify the places you did the thing and envision how you can attempt to do it differently next time

Stage 3: Right after the act - right after you do the thing, you notice it and high five yourself for catching it right after

Stage 4: In the act - in the middle of doing the thing, you catch yourself and stop and implement the new thing you want to implement

Stage 5: Right before - this is a sign that the new thing is taking hold.... you catch yourself right before you were going to do the old thing, you pause and do the new thing.

Over time, the new thing just becomes the norm.

I know it sounds like a lot of steps. It can happen much quicker than you think.

With just a little practice - your brain and nervous system start flagging the information you are feeding it.

We try to practice WITHOUT JUDGMENT but instead a high five. "Look at me go, catching the thing".

So, keep practicing: awareness is power, reflection is hindsight (brings clarity), right after shows progress, in the act means you are almost there and right before means you have formed the new habit. Now it will become automatic over time.

And in case all this sounds useful, here is her community ENJOY BEING HUMAN. Ahmy is a therapist with extensive practice and I just love how she always says the right words with lots of purpose so she makes me think and be aware much more.

So what healthy habits are you trying to stack at the moment? Let's inspire each other :)
