ZeChanges 26: Step 4.3 - Recovering after Habits...

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/04/28

No matter how consistent you are with your habits, it is inevitable that life will interrupt you at some point. Perfection is not possible. Before long, an emergency will pop up - you get sick or you have to travel for work or your family needs a little more of your time.Whenever this happens to me, I try to remind myself of a simple rule: never miss twice. Let's discuss in more depth...

ZeChanges 25: STEP 4.2 - keeping on track

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/04/21

Making progress is satisfying, and visual measures provide clear evidence of your progress. As a result, they reinforce your behavior and add a little bit of immediate satisfaction to any activity.Visual measurement comes in many forms: food journals, workout logs, loyalty punch cards, the progress bar on a software download, even the page numbers in a book. But perhaps the best way to measure your progress is with a habit tracker - let's explore in some more depth...

ZeChanges 24: Step 4 - Make it satisfying

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/04/14

Step 4 of changing habits is that it needs to be enjoyable for it to last. Simple bits of reinforcementlike soap that smells great or toothpaste that has a refreshing minty flavour can offer the immediate pleasure we need to enjoy a habit. Change is so much easier when it gives us joy.It is more likely we will repeat the behaviour when our expereince is satifying. Our human brain has evolved to prioritise immediate rewards over delayed ones.Key points in helping us change our behaviours are in this

ZeChanges 23: Step 3.4 - Making Good Habits Inevitable

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/04/07

Making Good Habits Inevitable and Bad Habits ImpossibleSometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits harder. This is an inversion of the 2nd STEP of Behaviour Change "Make it Attractive". If you find yourself struggling to follow through on your plans make you bad habits more difficult by creating what pschologists call a commitment device.Commitment devices are useful because they enable you to take advantage of good intentions before you can fall victim

ZeChanges 22: Step 3.3 The 2 minute Rule

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/03/24

Even when you know you should start small, it’s easy to start too big. When you dream about making a change, excitement inevitably takes over and you end up trying to do too much too soon.The most effective way that's known to counteract this tendency is to use the Two-Minute Rule, which states, “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.” You’ll find that nearly any habit can be scaled down into a two-minute version.....For an i-MindMap of the latest update please click

ZeChanges 21: Step 3.2 The law of least effort

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/03/17

Conventional wisdom holds that motivation is the key to habit change. Maybe if you really wanted it, you’d actually do it. But the truth is, our real motivation is to be lazy and to do what is convenient.Despite what the latest productivity best seller will tell you, this is a smart strategy, not a dumb one. Energy is precious, and the brain is wired to conserve it whenever possible. It is human nature to follow the Law of Least Effort, which states "that when deciding between two similar options,

2024/03/10

Making our Lives EasierIt is easy to get bogged down trying to find the optimal plan for change: the fastest way to lose weight, the best programme to build muscle, the perfect idea for a side job. We are so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action. As Voltaire once wrote, “The best is the enemy of the good." This is the difference between being in motion and taking action. The two ideas sound similar, but they’re not the same. Let's explore....

2024/03/03

This week we examine the cause of our bad habits and how to avoid them. The 'higklightd' are as follows....The cause of our habits is the prediction that precedes them. (the 'activator') This prediction leads to a feeling. Habits are attractive when we associate them with positive feelings and unattractive when we associate them with negative ones.When we create a motivation ritual by doing something we enjoy immediately before a difficult habit it then becomes a pleasure to do.Let's examine this

ZeChanges 18: Step 2.2 - The many and the powerfull

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/02/25

Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group (the many) to guide our behaviour. We are constantly scanning our environment and wondering, “What is everyone else doing?” We check reviews on Amazon or Yelp or TripAdvisor because we want to imitate the “best” buying, eating, and travel habits....Likewise, humans everywhere pursue power, prestige, and status. Historically, a person with greater power and status has access to more resources, worries less about survival, and proves to be a more

ZeChanges 17 : Step2.1 - Culture

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/02/18

This week we look at culure and the role of family and friends in shaping our habits. Humans are herd animals. We want to fit in, to bond with others, and to earn the respect and approval of our peers. Such inclinations are essential to our survival. For most of our evolutionary history, our ancestors lived in tribes. Becoming separated from the tribe, or worse, being cast out—was a death sentence. “The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.”As Charles Darwin noted, “In the long history of

In our 2nd STEP of ZeChange let's learn how to make a habit attractive and irresistible.It may not be possible to transform every habit into a supernormal stimulus, we can however make any habit more enticing. To do this, we must start by understanding what a craving is and how it works. Today we begin by examining a biological signature that all habits share—the dopamine spike.Research has shwn that when it comes to habits dopamine is released not only when we experience pleasure,but when we

We continue our journey of looking at Step 1 in Making it obvious where we discover the motivation can be overrated at times and our environment matters more ar certain times as follows: Small changes in context can lead to large changes in behaviour over time.Every habit is initiated by a cue. We are more likely to notice cues that stand out.Make the cues of good habits obvious in your environment.Gradually, your habits become associated not with a single trigger but with the entire context

The 1st STEP of Habit Behaviour Change is make it obvious.The two most common cues are time and location: Creating an implementation intention is a strategy you can use to pair a new habit with a specific time and location.The implementation intention formula is: I will [BEHAVIOUR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].Habit stacking is a strategy that you can use to pair a new habit with a current habit.The habit stacking formula is: After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].Let's explore in some more

ZeChanges 12: Behaviours - Step 1 Cue

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2024/01/14

The human brain is a prediction machine. It is continuously taking in your surroundings and analyzing the information it comes across.Whenever you experience something repeatedly your brain begins noticing what is important, sorting through the details and highlighting the relevant cues, and cataloguing that information for future use. With enough practice, you can pick up on the cues that predict certain outcomes without consciously thinking about it. Automatically, your brain encodes the lessons

A habit is a behaviour that has been repeated enough times to become automatic. The process of habit formation begins with trial and error. Whenever you encounter a new situation in life, your brain has to make a decision.Occasionally, you stumble across a solution. You’re feeling anxious, and you discover that going for a run calms you down. You’re mentally exhausted from a long day of work, and you learn that playing video games relaxes you.You’re exploring, exploring, exploring, and then —a

Small Habit changes can make a 'monumental' difference. Research has shown that it is easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value on making small incremental improvements on a daily basis.We can convince ourselves that a massive success requires massive action. Be it losing wiegt, building a business, writing a book, winning a chamionship... Improving by 1% isn't particularily notable, at times not even noticeable. It can however, be meaningful ,

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2023/12/17

Our rational mind just loves it when things get nicely wrapped in a convenient package. Our brains get a good hit of dopamine – that feel-good chemical – anytime we’re able to categorise, predict or label an experience into a rational, coherent narrative.However, incoherent events occur in our lives all the time, and that’s hard for our logical mind to accept. If something unwanted happens to us, such as losing a job, a loved one dying, or a relationship breaking down, we may find ourselves asking

ZeChanges - Internal Characters

Jim Bennett - HOT Leadership ·

2023/12/10

We are all constantly talking to ourselves. It’s like we have a number of little voices within us that all have an opinion on what we should and shouldn't be doing.We run into trouble when these small voices start to take on an active role in our lives. In small yet consistent ways, if we just take these internalised characters at face value, without checking in with our values, our life can become more about damage control than meaningful living.
