In the words of the saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
Maybe.
Let’s shift our perspective a bit, shall we? It’s not merely about flexing your willpower like a muscle; it’s about understanding that setbacks are not roadblocks but rather stepping stones to growth. It’s about navigating life’s twists and turns with grace and resilience.
Neuroscientist Jud Brewer, M.D., Ph.D., shares a profound insight: to create lasting habits, we must become enchanted by them. It’s about embracing the magic of new beginnings and focusing on the ‘Bigger Better Offer (BBO)’ they bring to our lives. When we unearth the ‘why’ behind our habits, they effortlessly flourish.
We often admire those with seemingly unshakeable willpower and successful habits, but their secret lies not in sheer self-control, but in their ability to shape their environment in favor of positive actions. They understand the power of crafting environments that nurture good habits while minimising the pull of old patterns.
In essence, it’s about embracing the Bigger Better Offer and setting ourselves up for success.
So, instead of relying solely on a power we can’t always control, try tapping into the magic of purpose-driven habits and unleash your true potential.
