I surprised them, and myself, by noticing that very ...

The Easy Part

Monotony
April 10, 2023 15:52 - 14 minutes - 9.94 MB“Effectiveness requires an appreciation for monotony and routine.” This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers. A lot of people say things like, "I hate monotony" or "I hate routines." The challenge with such an identity is that it establishes a fixed mindset about one's abilities; what one can achieve. The art of enjoying monotony and routine is an essential principle for success. Try to imagine a masterful painter, pianist, or bodybuilder who doesn't appreciate the value o...

April 03, 2023 17:02 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MB"Everyone faces the same challenge; aligning their willpower with their volition. The good news is that by following P.A.R.R. they also develop discipline." This Habits 2 Goals premium episode is FREE for ALL subscribers. Five plus years and 500+ Habits 2 Goals episodes later, a single, common theme reveals itself; the significance of habit tracking.

Pain & Suffering
March 27, 2023 15:54 - 15 minutes - 14 MB“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.” ~The Dalai Lama This Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers. It finally dawns on me that along with ANY worthwhile goal one chooses to pursue, pain and suffering are part of the “package.” Each is preloaded – like software – with every worthwhile goal and ideal. For instance, if you want to be a great mother, you can rest assured there will be pain and suffering. If you want to become a lawyer, there will be pain and suffering. If...

Once again, MG decides to address the subtle and disruptive habit. The first day he decides to t...

The Great Convergence
February 27, 2023 18:27 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MB“The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti. This is a Habits 2 Goals premium episode FREE for ALL subscribers. Do you know what “the great convergence” really is? It is not how technology globalized humanity. Not really. “The great convergence,” that I’m referring to semi-jokingly is the key to the universe. Your universe. It’s tough to be effective and to feel good about yourself ...
Why Can't I Quit Smoking!?
February 20, 2023 19:34 - 19 minutes - 8.73 MB“A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.” ~Tony Robbins Smoker or not, here are a few stories that you may be telling yourself that are likely perpetuating your bad habits. [This is a throwback episode, never published from 1/2021 Covid era.] Everyday thousands, perhaps millions of people tell themselves that they’re going to quit smoking. Yet, few actually do. Find out if any of the three mindsets (stories...
Cameron Herold Interview – New Book, The Second In Command
February 13, 2023 16:54 - 39 minutes - 18 MB“The COO or the second in command tends to be strong with people issues. They're strong at getting collaboration, strong at getting consensus, strong in planning, and strong in seeing the moving parts. They understand the functional areas well. Yet, they aren't strong enough to be an expert in any particular domain.” H2G welcomes back Cameron Herold! He’s a business consultant, best-selling author, and speaker who has helped architect hundreds of companies’ exponential growth. Cameron has ...
Motivation isn't what you need.
February 06, 2023 15:31 - 13 minutes - 9.53 MB“Once she arrived at her ideal destination – her goal – she realized it wasn’t what she wanted after all.” A young lady recently confessed that she felt “almost lost” and lacked motivation. Ironically, she felt that way after reaching an important goal. It turns out, she lacked motivation for two reasons. First, the goal’s reality didn’t match expectations. Second, she was struggling to identify what she wanted to pursue next. She found it difficult to get clear on her next ideal outco...
28 Days!
February 02, 2023 15:52 - 12 minutes - 8.54 MB“A key idea behind habit tracking is to use the week's rhythm. Thus, 28 days, not 30 days, ought to be the tracking period for each habit.” There are a handful of authors and behavior change "experts" offering various ideas about habit development. Unfortunately, many are misleading. One such idea is that habit tracking is optional when it comes to habit development. While it’s true that people develop habits without tracking them, those habits tend to be negative. To develop good, posit...
Aloneness
January 26, 2023 02:48 - 14 minutes - 9.94 MB“You are born alone, and you will die alone.”This week we investigate aloneness. Aloneness is different from loneliness. In the early ’90s, while backpacking across Europe, I was reading Stephen Batchelor’s Alone with Others, an existential approach to Buddhism. In it, the following ideas are explored:”I was alone at birth; I must die alone; and, in a sense, I amalways alone, for the gulf separating me from others cannever satisfactorily be bridged.” It's either a frightening or comfo...

Energy Flows
January 24, 2023 23:54 - 19 minutes - 8.84 MB"Energy flows where attention goes." This week we revisit a goal achievement first principle: EVERYTHING IS ENERGY. Suppose everything is energy (and it is). That means you are energy, and your goal will require energy. Interestingly, habits are the most efficient use of behavior energy and this is why The Habit Factor process of habit alignment is so effective. There are two key elements that impact one's behaviors the most over a long period of time; their environment and thinking, whi...
The HERO's Narrative
January 24, 2023 23:47 - 25 minutes - 11.8 MB"Notice all the B.S. stories you tell yourself about EVERYTHING. Then, run them through the H.E.R.O.'s checklist." Your internal monologue is very active! Sometimes it's helpful, and other times, not so much. This internal chatter provides stories about EVERYTHING, from your career to your potential. You even have stories about your spouse, friends, etc. You also have stories about your goals, the ones you choose to pursue or not. These stories establish boundaries. They setup walls tha...
Goals are Not Optional!
December 26, 2022 09:30 - 19 minutes - 16.9 MB"Goals are not optional!" Drifting – living an aimless life – might be fun for a week, a month, maybe even a year. However, drifting for too long is dangerous. Having a purpose – a big, vital goal – to pursue is essential to a fulfilling life. The fact is almost everyone already has goals. Unfortunately, as Tony Robbins likes to say, "they're mostly impotent." Weak goals like "make it to the end of the month" or, "get to happy hour after work" won't keep you inspired. It also hel...
It's not about the Marathon!
December 19, 2022 10:00 - 19 minutes - 9.07 MB"You don't need to eat a piece of cake after you run 5 miles." Studies on habit development support the idea that self-efficacy – the ability to produce the desired result – is rewarding. By following P.A.R.R., (Plan, Act, Record & Reassess), The Habit Factor's method for habit development, users experience self-efficacy, often. Of course, the opposite is true. If a user does not follow through on their habit tracking plan they will be unhappy. Hence, the method encourages users star...
Discipline is a Habit
December 12, 2022 17:24 - 20 minutes - 9.42 MB"Discipline is a habit. Nobody is born disciplined." Too often, people say, "I'm just not disciplined enough." The truth is that nobody is born disciplined. Discipline is a habit that can and should be cultivated. Following The Habit Factor's simplified method for habit development, P.A.R.R., anyone can improve their discipline more quickly. A key aspect of P.A.R.R. is that it cultivates habitstrength. Just by tracking your habits and following P.A.R.R., you will improve your disc...

Habits and Goals: The Crucial Relationship
August 08, 2022 09:41 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB"Habits and goals, by design, complement each other." Oh, the irony. When The Habit Factor® was published in 2010, the idea of using habits to achieve goals as a process for goal achievement was unheard of. The Habit Factor's subtitle demonstrates its originality at the time: An Innovative Method to Align Habits with Goals to Achieve Success. Due to its predominantly negative connotation, all of the prior goal achievement best practices excluded habit entirely. Processes like S....
The Wind!
August 01, 2022 13:36 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB"Everything is difficult before it is easy." ~Thomas Fuller Resistance comes in many forms. The wind is a terrific example. It turns out that without any wind trees cannot grow strong and will topple over. The same is observed in our life. If we are without resistance—if there is no pressure—how can we grow stronger? Pursing goals and ideals provides ample resistance to grow, learn and become stronger. Lifting weights, as an example, proves resistance makes us stronger. The win...
