Resolutions don’t work

I’ve resisted this fact for years, but it’s totally true. Humans do not accomplish things well when we  go from thoughts to action.

(ex: I wanna lose 10 lbs, so I’ll eat less and go to the gym more)

We start out well, but soon we get distracted, lose motivation…become inconsistent.

Turns out ALL humans do this and there’s new science behind why we have such a hard time achieving goals and breaking old habits.

There are 2 experts in behavior change that bring us the science on what is happening AND teach us what we can do to stop struggling with our goals .

Dr. Jud Brewer and Danielle La Porte

Dr. Jud Brewer – CLICK here is a neuroscientist with an APP (UNWIND) that gets people to break bad habits

Danielle La Porte- CLICK here is a business coach that has online courses and guide books to keep you on track better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the past 8 months, I have been using both Danielle La Porte’s Desire Map planner AND Dr. Jud’s Unwind APP weekly.

I cannot highly enough recommend these. every human that wants to accomplish ANY goal and just FEEL better daily should tap into these.

Core Desired Feelings. A better way to get what you want

If you’re someone who loves setting goals, but often you fall short.. guess what – you’re normal!  Danielle La Porte believes we’ve been doing things backwards. Turns out, this whole approach of stating what we want and then taking action does NOT work well for most humans.

La Porte says we’re doing goals all wrong. She should know, she’s one of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 & has been featured in Forbes magazine as one of the top business coaches. Danielle teaches people how to keep ” their souls on the agenda”  I gotta say her ” Desire Map” System works super well. Try these 3 steps below

Don’t think then Act. Feel first, Strategize second THEN  Take Action

“It’s not the particular achievement or getting the thing that’s really driving us.. What we’re going for is the FEELING we want to feel when we get what we want” –  Danielle La Porte

  • Start from your heart.  STOP acting from your head. Going from Thoughts to Actions just doesn’t work.. our heads get in the way.

USE this simple 3 step process

1. Write out your ” Core Desired Feelings”

This is 3-4 words that clearly state how you want to feel at all given moments throughout your day ( Put your Soul on your Agenda!)  Here’s mine:  Released, Beautiful, Content, Present, Prosperous

No matter what I’m doing;  grocery shopping, research, coaching a student, working out, cleaning… I want to feel like I am Listening, Trusting (of myself) Easeful, Truthful, Present & DecisiveEach of these words hold a lot of meaning for me.  Now! Come up with 3-6 of your own

2.  Write them out – Put them in your phone & 4-5 pieces of paper to put all around you- Wallet, glovebox, satchel, fridge door & bathroom mirror.

3.  Put these words to EVERYTHING you do.  How you cook at home, how you show up for work,  how you approach your workout, how you pick out your Netflix shows.

Put your soul on your agenda EVERY DAY = See your CDF’s

Feelings FIRST, Perception SECOND, Thoughts THIRD…

Your feelings determine your perception and THAT drives your thoughts into action!

Now as you step up to that next thing you know you gotta do, but don’t really FEEL like doing – pull out your CDF’s .. will this thing make you feel any of your CDF’s?

  1. 5 min meditation over social media
  2. moving outside over grinding through computer work
  3.  Stopping and listening to a loved one over working on your checklist for the day.

It’s been a total GAME CHANGER for me I’m  more decisive & ease-fully driven. That’s huge.

 Feelings first, THEN strategy. Go from 1. Your Heart (how you feel) THEN 2. Your PERCEPTION (how you want to view things) THEN 3. Your Thoughts  then you take action with that next best step

I hope this helps you and you totally enjoy it.  If you need someone to keep you on track and accountable .. that’s my bag. shoot me a text of email and I’ll keep you going strong!
