This episode I talk about the belief hurdles we put in place without even realising that can prevent us from creating change and the 6 questions that can help us overcome them from the book “Triggers” by Marshall Goldsmith
The 15 Belief Triggers
1) “If I understand, I will do”
2) “I have willpower and won’t give in to temptation”
3) “Today is a special day”
4) “At least I’m better than _”
5) “I shouldn’t need help and structure”
6) “I won’t get tired and my enthusiasm will not fade”
7) “I have all the time in the world”
8) “I won’t get distracted and nothing unexpected will occur”
9) “An epiphany will suddenly change my life”
10) “My change will be permanent and I will never have to worry again”
11) “My elimination of old problems will not bring on new problems”
12) “My efforts will be fairly rewarded”
13) “Nobody is paying attention to me”
14) “If I change I am inauthentic“
15) “I have the wisdom to assess my own behaviour”
👆🏻 These 15 belief triggers can stop us in our tracks before we event start our journey to change.
When we are on our way to change, we can use active questioning to help us assess and progress. By starting your question with “Did I do my best to…” you will focus on the positive and take responsibility for your situation more than you previously would. Try journaling on these six questions at the end of the evening and see how you perform.
6 Questions for Starting Change
1) Did I do my best to set clear goals today?
2) Did I do my best to make progress towards my goals today?
3) Did I do my best to find meaning today?
4) Did I do my best to be happy today?
5) Did I do my best to build positive relationships today?
6) Did I do my best to be fully engaged today?
