Observe and correct negative personal behaviors faster
September 15th, 2008
I noticed an article on Google News with the headline:
Man finds happiness with 25th wife
The brief article states that the now 49 year old man from Nepal has now been married to this now 23 year old woman for 7 years and is now “happy” and wants to get serious about his children’s education.
Over the last year we’ve seen countless examples of bad behavior by celebrities such as Britney Spears.
I could go on with examples of people that continue behavior that doesn’t serve them very well in lieu of replacing those behaviors with better behaviors.
How many weight-loss commercials have you heard and seen lately? It seems they’re everywhere.
We simply have to get serious about identifying negative personal trends and replacing these behaviors with positive ones, and liking the result.
Many times people know what they’re doing is wrong but continue out an inherent lack of self esteem. Or they believe that ignoring poor behaviors because they’re “too busy” to do something better is justifiable or akin to martyrdom within their family. Which is simply a bad choice.
These are the types of behaviors that a coach can help you identify (shouldn’t be too hard) but that same coach can help you identify a replacement behavior and help you execute the transition to where the new behavior becomes automatic.
The longer you stay in the old ways, which you know very well aren’t beneficial, the longer things are going to stay the same for you.
You have to develop a want for the results of the better behavior more than you value the way your life is today.
Keep reading these articles or go ahead and join the Happiness Boot Camp Virtual Coaching Club monthly group teleclasses and newsletter. Or inquire about retaining a personal happiness coach.
If you keep doing what you’re doing you’re going to keep getting what you’re currently getting.
Do something different today!
