Staying on course….
Have you ever gone to a seminar and left all pumped up and excited, only to find that just a short while later you were back to your old self again?
Why does that happen so often? Why do we fall back into our old ways so quickly? Wouldn’t it be great if we could sustain our excitement and momentum?
In their best selling book “Success through a Positive Mental Attitude”, authors Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone talk about this very subject.
Have you ever heard of “Cosmic Habit Force”?
When we first learn something, it isn’t natural to us. We have to concentrate on the steps involved. After a short while, we do it naturally, without any conscious thought at all. For example, with men, learning to shave. Once we've done it a few times, we do it automatically every time, the same way, without thinking. With women, it’s the same thing with putting on makeup.
It’s like that for every part of our lives. Once we develop a habit for doing something, we automatically do it the same way over and over again without thinking about it. That’s why starting a new habit is so hard. It’s natural for us to do something a certain way. We actually have to think to change the way we do things and break old habits.
If you want to get on course and stay on course, you have to develop new habits, so that you do them automatically, the right way, every time.
When you attend a seminar, take a class or read a book, you learn exactly WHAT to do. If you’ve got incredible self-discipline and can hold yourself accountable, you can achieve everything you want by DOING what you learned. That means you need to develop new habits. If you don't immediately begin making those habits a new part of your life, you will never make it happen. Because of Cosmic Habit Force you will automatically go back to your old ways and old habits.
At Peak Potentials Training, Harv Eker has a great solution. Realizing that we all have a tendency to drop back into our old selves after awhile, as a Quantum member, you can return to another event within a short period of time, and capitalize on the momentum of back-to-back events. Eventually, by the time you've experienced a half dozen events in 2 years, your momentum has helped you in developing all the new habits that will take your life to a whole new level. You will automatically do the right thing in every circumstance, all the time.
For those who are really serious about taking their life to the highest levels, they not only attend the programs. They work with a coach. A personal coach is just like a personal trainer. A great coach can be the most valuable asset you have in your life. I realize this more and more as time goes by.
Make it a goal to change one habit a week. That’s 52 habits in a year. Once you see the benefits, I hope you’ll begin to reexamine every area of your life and look for new habits to cultivate.
Namaste.

I am so work driven, my life has gotten out of balance.
The positive habit I will adopt this week is to go out to tea with my step-daughter. This should really be a weekly ritual. It will give me an early taste of freedom!
I like the analogy of how a life coach is very much like a personal trainer. In order to create new operating habits, we must almost start over and re build just like you would when weight training and building new muscles from the ground up. It is amazing to realize we can be whoever we want and operate however we want by making changes to our habits.
Personal trainers are great. They keep you focused and excited. I think that this is an area to explore. Keeping people focused can expand into great sucess.
I was a personal trainer and aerobic instructor for several years. I was very good at it, especially the youth. I could motivate them. Now I need a coach for financial help
I was a personal trainer for several years so I knew how to motivate my clients. Now I need a financial trainer!!
