Michael Breen – Habit Hacking

And that’s the conservative estimate. Many estimate it’s up to 90%.

What about you? How happy are you with your habits?

If you’re like a lot of frustrated students of personal development…

It’s OK, it’s not your fault.

I’ve been there myself. I used to struggle to make changes only for things to fall back a few weeks or sometimes (frustratingly) hours later. Then, due to a chance meeting with a legendary NLP Master Trainer, all that changed… overnight.

In that meeting (and many more that followed) I discovered what the giants of Neuro-Linguistic Programming do (folks like Michael Breen, Richard Bandler and Tony Robbins) that most ordinary NLPers don’t, to create lasting and deep habit change. And much to my surprise it wasn’t one big thing … it was a several very specific things (five to be exact).

You see, up until recently people thought our habits were unbreakable. Sure you can help someone change a belief or change a simple behaviour but to get someone to change a habit, most students (and many teachers) of personal development would say “forget it!”

They’d tell me “Tom, you “can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, “a leopard never changes it’s spots” and all that.

To me this was baffling. I mean… what was the point of studying and learning all about change, reading books, going to seminars, listening to audios if you can’t change something so fundamental as our habits?

Especially since so much of our happiness and success is a direct consequence of our habits!

You see deep down I knew something many in personal development overlooked or flat out ignored.

That is…

The Fact Is…

Researchers Estimate as much as 40% of your behaviour is controlled by habits!

Every area of your life is effected by your habits.

Your relationship, career, health, wellness, finances, etc.

Your habits either propel you towards success and the realisation of your goals…

… or left unchecked hurtle you downwards towards failure and another loop around frustration and the status quo.

And the scary thing is… our habits for the most part, were not created consciously. Beginning in childhood we learned ways to act and over time those patterns because habitual, unconscious and automatic.

The Habit machine created both good and bad habits.

And as you know…

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Aristotle

If You’ve Had A Difficult Time Changing Your Life, Don’t Blame Yourself. Change Your Habits.

You are dissatisfied with your current results…

You know you’re capable of much more but can’t seem to ‘turn it on’…

You’ve read a ton of books, attended a bunch of courses, got       motivated, tried a bunch of things but results were … far from stellar!

In fact, largely your life looks much the same. You’ve never really cracked how to create real BREAKTHROUGH CHANGE.

Am I close?
