“A key idea behind habit tracking is to use the week's rhythm. Thus, 28 days, not 30 days, should be the tracking period for each habit.”

 

Many authors and behavior change 'experts' offer various ideas about habit development.


Unfortunately, many are misleading.
One such idea is that habit tracking is optional when it comes to habit development.


While it’s true that people develop habits without tracking them, those habits tend to be negative.


To develop good, positive habits, science has proven that tracking behaviors tends to be very beneficial.

 

Here’s why:


Tracking habits not only reinforces the habit itself, it also fosters an ancillary habit; discipline.

 

"Good habits happen when planned; bad habits happen on their own."


With The Habit Factor’s P.A.R.R. methodology habit tracking is required.
In fact, the method demands you identify specific parameters and targets for each habit during each successive 28 day tracking period.


When you track the intended habit, you not only affirm the behavior, you reinforce your intention to develop the habit.


Some habit experts offer ideas like mini-habits, two-minute habits, even habit-stacking and environmental-design habits.


Regardless of what the process is called, it's the practice of tracking, ideally for 28 days that helps the behavior to become a habit.

“You are born alone and you will die alone.”

This week we investigate aloneness. Aloneness is different from loneliness.


MG discusses a book he read in the early '90s while backpacking across Europe, Stephen Batchelor's, 
Alone with Others, an existential approach to Buddhism.


After thirty-plus years, MG challenges that statement by adding a twist.


While we are born alone, it is with and in spirit.

 

When we die, it is the spirit that leaves our bodies.


Thus, we are not entirely born alone, nor do we die entirely alone. Arguably it is our spirit that is either with us or 
IS us.


The discussion then explores loneliness and how one's integrity is positively influenced by habit tracking.

"Energy flows where attention goes."

This week we revisit a goal achievement first principle: EVERYTHING IS ENERGY.

Suppose everything is energy (and it is). That means you are energy, and your goal will require energy.

Interestingly, habits are the most efficient use of behavior energy and this is why The Habit Factor process of habit alignment is so effective.

There are two key elements that impact one's behaviors the most over a long period of time; their environment and thinking, which is predominantly in the form of stories).

To illustrate MG discusses the "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System," a new behavior model.

The "3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System" differs from other, prior behavior models:

1. It's the only behavior model representing human behavior in an "echo-system" whereby each component influencer reverberates to influence the others.

2. It's the only behavior model representing human thought in the form of stories, predominately at its core.

3. The behavior model demonstrates how, at any moment, feelings and emotions may be twice as impactful to our behaviors, yet, over a long period of time, they are less significant.

Understanding the essence of this behavior model helps you to better appreciate energy and how each component impacts your long-term goals.

"Notice all the B.S. stories you tell yourself about EVERYTHING. Then, run them through the H.E.R.O.'s checklist."

Your internal monologue is very active!

Sometimes it's helpful, and other times, not so much.

This internal chatter provides stories about EVERYTHING, from your career to your potential. You even have stories about your spouse, friends, etc.

You also have stories about your goals, the ones you choose to pursue or not.

These stories establish boundaries. They setup walls that become impenetrable until you notice them first.

The more aware you can become of your internal dialogue the easier it is for you to delete, edit and rewrite the stories.

The H.E.R.O.'s narrative is a tool – a checklist – to use as a filter to determine if your stories are harmful.

Learn about the importance of the HERO's narrative and how you can put it to work right away!
