You ready? I am ready for another episode.

EP. 29 Find a New Flock 

Book: ATOMIC HABITS: 

Author: James Clear

Who gon' check me boo?! God is!

• Nehemiah 9:16 "But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love."

Chapter 9 The Role of Family and Friends in Shaping Your Habits

We imitate the habits of 3 groups in particular:

Lets' dive into each one

1. The Close pg.116-117

• "We pick up habits from the people around us."
• "Our friends and family provide a sort of invisible peer pressure that pulls us in their direction." 
• • "One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where you desired behavior is the normal behavior. New habits seem achievable when you see others doing them every day."

2. Imitating the Many pg.120

• "Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group to guide our behavior" 

Every been a situation you knew was the way or right answer, but you went with the majority because you were not confident enough to go your own way or look stupid. 

• "Normal behavior of the tribe often overpowers the desired behavior of the individual."
• "You can override it – you choose to ignore the group or to stop caring what other people think-but it takes work. Running against the grain of your culture requires extra effort." 

So that feeling of being uncomfortable, get used to it. 

3. Imitating the Powerful pg. 121

• "Humans everywhere pursue power, prestige, and status." 

My point: Now what your intentions in how you use is the problem, not that we want it. 

• "Once we fit in, we start looking for ways to stand out. This is one reason we care so, much about the habits of highly effective people."

Challenge of the week

Find a New Flock 

Besides joining the crew. Join or create a group of people that is tailored to your desired behaviors. 

" Nothing sustains motivation better than belonging to the tribe." 

Quote of The Week 

"When changing your habits means challenging the tribe, change is unattractive. When changing your habits means fitting in with the tribe, change is very attractive.
