Ep060 - Shifting Beliefs and Behaviors Pt4 - Focus Only On The New Target
Are you focusing too much on what you DON'T want — rather than the FUTURE YOU you're trying to create? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of habit transformation, exploring why most people fail at breaking old patterns and how you can shift your focus to accelerate real change.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why the traditional approach to breaking bad habits is flawed
- The truth about habit formation—why 21 days isn’t enough
- The two possible futures ahead of you—one to avoid, one to embrace
- The bike ride lesson that will change how you approach transformation
- Why focusing on what you DON’T want actually makes things worse
- How to shift your mindset to just keep pedaling toward success
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Where your focus goes, your energy flows—focus on the FUTURE YOU, not what you’re trying to avoid
- Breaking a bad habit isn’t enough — you must REPLACE it with a new behavior
- True transformation takes 84-90 days, not just 21
- When your resilience is low, temptation is high—manage your energy, not just your willpower
- Keep your eyes on the open road—just like riding a bike, your success depends on where you look!
