Ep 8: The Formula For Change (Knowing What To Do Doesn't Mean You'll Do It)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Change doesn't happen because you finally feel "ready" - it happens once the discomfort of staying the same outweighs the effort of changing and the fear of what's on the other side. In this episode I break down the actual formula behind it (yes, there's a formula), where it comes from psychologically, and how to work all three sides of it on purpose instead of waiting for motivation to show up.
In this episode:
The formula for change, explained in plain English - and where I first heard it
The psychology behind it: decisional balance, the Stages of Change model, and the "developing discrepancy" trick from Motivational Interviewing
The 5-year question that creates the discomfort you need, on purpose
The "20 reasons" exercise my mentor used to quit smoking - and why your real "why" usually isn't reason #1
