"Consistency over time vs. a short burst of activity is what ultimately encourages and supports the development of any habit."
Today's Frequently Asked Friday episode aims to bust a myth:
"To form a habit you must perform the behavior every day."
That is absolutely NOT true! The worst part, believing such a myth might actually prevent you from trying to develop new, positive habits!
What is important -- above all else -- is consistency over time! Remember P.A.R.R.: Plan, Act, Record Reassess. The process of habit tracking for 28 days will allow the "seedling" of your habit to take root. Raising the minimum success criteria and going another 28 days will instill it even further!
Listen in to hear what actually has to happen to create a habit and develop a skill.
Enjoy the episode!

"Are you interested in achieving your life's goals and becoming successful or are you committed? Understanding that difference changed my life!" ~ John Assaraf
Habits2Goals is proud to present a personal development, living legend, Mr. John Assaraf — bestselling author, CEO of NeuroGym, business growth expert and leader in the field of brain research and brain retraining.
When John was 19 years old — broke, jobless and spiraling downward — he met a business mentor who asked him a question that changed his life: "John, are you interested in achieving your goals or are you committed? If you're interested you'll take the easy way, but when you're committed you will do whatever it takes. You will change your beliefs about yourself."
John never looked back and found that we all have the power to change our lives.
Learn about "Innercise" neuroscience of success and goal achievement — and how John Assaraf became the poster child for how dramatically your life can change once you learn to master your mindset.
Enjoy the show!

"The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it. " - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
This Magnificent Mind Bullet Monday is inspired by a powerful quote: "The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it."
Sometimes our thoughts and our reasoning can create problems, especially when it comes to goal setting. When we overthink things, the "abyss" gets bigger and bigger as we rationalize our way out of our hopes and dreams.
But when we quiet the mind, instead of focusing on the obstacles, we can commit -- and then solve the problems along the way!
Listen in to hear how dialing down your thinking and throwing your heart into your goals can bring you untold rewards!
Enjoy!

"Remember, it's rarely either/or; it's BOTH!"
This Frequently Asked Fridays episode comes on the heels of our "What Are Your Favorite Self-Help Quotes?" episode.
This week, we go the opposite direction: "What are the worst self-help cliches?" Some of these platitudes are regurgitated so much they are actually painful to hear, misunderstood and detrimental to our well-being.
The problem is, our life views don't have to be an either-or situation. Don't get caught up in a train or tract of thinking that may trap you!
Listen in to hear the top three worst self-help cliches and why they are both true and missing some key ingredients -- and how they fall victim to dichotomous thinking.
Enjoy the episode!

"In my awareness journey, I had to rewire how I looked at health and how I looked at my energy. The better my energy is, the better my life is."
~ Joe Apfelbaum
Today's powerful Habits2Goals interview features Joe Apfelbaum -- a phenomenal entrepreneur, CEO, Google Certified trainer and coach who lives and breathes personal development. His work has been featured in Business Insider, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Entrepreneur and more.
Besides incredible business accomplishments, Joe has one of the greatest personal development stories around: Six years ago he was 260 pounds, smoking, overeating, not exercising. He had a successful business but was abusing his body and ultimately his mind.
Listen in to hear about Joe's journey toward taking his energy -- mind body and spirit -- up a notch, finally feeling complete with who he is, and see how habit played a key role.
Enjoy the show!

"In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is where flawed, or nonsense input data produces nonsense output or 'garbage'."
For this Habits2Goals Mind Bullet Monday episode, we look at a fundamental concept that is at once simple and profound: "Garbage in, garbage out." In other words, our input produces our output.
From a goal achievement standpoint, it's easy to see that habit is the input while goals are the output. But it isn't just about goal achievement -- "garbage in, garbage out" is applicable to multiple angles of life, from language to food to thought.
In fact, what we put in equals what we get out. If we're putting in the wrong information -- or misinformation -- the results will be lacking.
Listen in for a reminder to ask yourself, "Where is garbage flowing into my life?" Where are your results disappointing you?
Enjoy!

"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life; the whole aim and end of human existence . . . Our happiness depends upon ourselves."
~ Aristotle
Our FFAF (Fantastic Frequently Asked Friday) is a doozy that falls into the realm of philosophy: What is the aim of life?
Stripping away the environmental contexts we all are ensnared in, several philosophies try to tackle the question.
Is the aim of life to be happy, a la the Dalai Lama? But what if happiness is choice, crafted for ourselves?
Is the aim of life to be of service? Or, as Aristotle says, to better ourselves -- pursue virtue?
Perhaps the aim of life is multifold.
Listen in for a fascinating discussion of the meaning of life -- and how habit contributes to the end goal.
Enjoy the episode!

"How do you want to paint your future? With a brush of fear and the wrong choices? Or with the brush of hope and going in the right direction?"
~ Henry J. Evans
Today's interview — an important discussion about getting unstuck in life — connects with Habits2Goals' great friend and former co-host Henry J. Evans, a dynamic marketing expert, best-selling author, speaker and consultant on accountability, strategy execution and emotionally intelligent leadership.
We ALL will come to a point when we get stuck in one area of life or another -- mind, body, spirit, social, finance, adventure, business -- the critical thing is how we respond.
When you're stuck, you've likely created a fear-based story that keeps you from moving. When you find yourself lost and stuck, what are the tools to rattle yourself and get yourself unstuck and moving again?
Listen in to this interesting discussion about changing your physiology and "state" of being using some real, practical tips not to mention how to apply The Habit Factor method to get yourself UNSTUCK!

"Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves." ~ Tony Gaskins
An inspiring Mind-Bullet Monday speaks to all of us: When something doesn't go our way in the moment, all is not lost. Accept what happens and trust the process — trust the universe.
Too often, the story you create in your head can hold you back. "They're against me. It wasn't right. I've been treated unfairly."
What if the story you're telling yourself in your head isn't true? What if you're exactly where you are meant to be, learning the lessons you need to learn?
When life doesn't unfold the way you expect it to, how you respond is key. When you accept what happens and trust the process -- trust the universe -- so many good things can still happen for you.
Listen in and hear about how being a good sport isn't just an act. It's an acceptance that something good can still come out of a situation.
Enjoy!

"If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind." ~Zig Ziglar
Welcome to Season 5! This Mind-Bullet Monday kickoff discusses vision — the critical importance of seeing the completion of your goal long before you actually accomplish it.
Recently, MG has become fascinated with slacklining. You may have seen this at parks or beaches, where people attempt to balance along a suspended length of webbing between two anchors.
Addicted to the challenge of slacklining on the beach, but frustrated by an inability to "see" himself succeeding at a difficult trick, he found himself stuck — until a small boost gave him the vision he needed to break through.
Listen in to hear more about the gift of vision and how the ability to believe first will help you "see the reaching" and achieve your greatest goals.
Enjoy!
