How often have you said:
- ‘this year I really am going to get a better handle on my work life balance?
- ‘I am going to stick to my fitness programme as I know my health needs to be a priority’
- ‘I really will take time out to review my career and start to apply for promotion’
- ‘I will address all those niggling things from dealing with a difficult team member to keeping up to date with my expenses.
All goes well for three weeks and then by February the three times a week visit to the gym has dropped to once a week, the “be home for 7:30” is still working – but only on a Friday, the receipts are piling up to be done when you have a second, and Mary Ann is still a disruptive influence on team moral. Sound familiar?
What makes change so difficult?
Why do we find ourselves reverting to the same unwanted behaviours despite our best intentions to really be different this time? Change is not the problem, change is the new situation. The challenge is the transition - the psychological process we go through to come to terms with the new situation. The change becomes who we are, not what we do.
Most of our attempts to change address our behaviours
We know what we want to do differently, we can define our outcomes and develop our action plans. However, unless we go ‘under the water’ and address our motivation and beliefs having the knowledge of what to do will not translate into action.
When we work at the level of motivation and belief, we start to change the way we think. When we change the way we think, we change our brains. When we change our brains we transform – and being fit, having work life balance or being courageous is not what we do, it is who we are.
If this is something you would like to be able to do, for yourself and your coaching clients, join us at our next open course in London, and discover how you can use coaching for transformation.
