HABITUALLY GREAT: Change Your Future Forever!

How To Achieve Overnight Success

MFWeinstein — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:37:01 +0000

Have you ever known someone who was an “overnight success?” How many years, months and days were they focused on what they were doing before they achieved recognition? Success does happen, and it results from steady and consistent forward movement that you are responsible for creating. Luck absolutely occurs – being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, getting the right breaks, good health – and it requires staying in Action, with your mind clearly focused on your desired outcomes.

What does “I’ll Try” mean?

MFWeinstein — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:06:16 +0000

“Trying” is a significant Excuses Language culprit. The world is full of failure. Think about it for a moment. “Nice Try” is what we say to our kids, peers, staffs and partners when they fail at something. Have you ever been complimented on a success or achievement with “nice try!” No, that wasn’t a “try.” Yet we hide under the cover of “try,” even before we begin something. pg 122

What positive Habit-Stamps do you have?

MFWeinstein — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:57:24 +0000

When Reese Witherspoon won her Oscar for Best Actress for Walk The Line, her speech was kind, humble, and heartwarming. She thanked her parents for always praising her and offering positive reinforcement for anything she did as a child, even simple things like making her bed. She explained how their parenting gave her confidence to succeed, the foundation of a Belief that she could be great at whatever she did. This is a beautiful example of positive Habit-Stamping. She developed extraordinary yet simple Peak Life Habits like the “I Can Do It Habit.” pg 41

What are your habit patterns?

MFWeinstein — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:50:46 +0000

When we have a tendency to practice the same Habits repeatedly, we have a Habit-Pattern. Our Habit-Patterns often consist of Habit-Clusters (groups of Habits of a similar nature that operate together) or Habit-Spirals (where one Master Habit triggers a domino effect among other Habits) of closely related Habits that are interwoven together into a pattern of Habits that pop up in our lives over and over again. We can also “inherit” a Habit-Pattern from our family of origin or an early life experience in which we saw specific Habits played out again and again. pg 275

Limiting Habit Spotlight: The “Perfectionist Habit”

MFWeinstein — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:53:05 +0000

If you have one or both sides of the “Perfectionist Habit,” you spend a lot of time analyzing and organizing and procrastinating until you are certain that everything is aligned for your success. Perfectionists fall into two categories. One type will start many things yest finish very few. This is because once started, they will only finish something if they can do it exactly right. So this type also has the “Incomplete Habit.” A flip side of the “Perfectionist Habit” is the version where they won’t event start on a project, goal, or anything if they can’t do it right. Often this might appear to be the “Procrastination Habit,” look a little closer and see that perfection is at the top of the spiral or cluster.

In Peak Life Habits and Habitually Great programs, we’ve seen this Habit cause many challenges, including:
1) Inability to settle on a mate regardless of intention/goal.
2) Consistent dissatisfaction with career, co-workers and others.
3) Either obsessive with fitness/diet or unable to find the right health regimen

Either side can be paralyzing. if you are a Perfectionist, you know that you often get stuck in the throes of this Limiting Habit. The “Perfectionist Habit” relies on the “Logic & Justify Habit” for rationalization of why something cannot be done. Yes, a bit of perfectionism in life is a good thing. Remember a Limiting Habit is caused by a pattern run amok! In this case most Perfectionist will tell you that the Habit runs them and leads to being in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction, both with their lives and with others.

The HABITUALLY GREAT program defines “success” as fulfillment in all areas of your life and gives you the tools to achieve it.

Listen back to the preview webinar

Here’s what we will cover during the HABITUALLY GREAT 10-Week Webinar Book Study:

	Week 1 – Understand Your Habit Mechanism and Identify Your Habit Chains This first session will introduce a remarkably simple language for understanding our unique selves, and offer a Habit Methodology that can overcome familiar and repetitive barriers to success in our lives, and allow us to tap into the Law of Attraction and the Law of Right Action. We all have Limiting Habits. By exposing Limiting Habits with kind compassion, you will soon begin Shifting to a life of more fun, more play, more joy – in short, a life rich in Peak Life Habits. Key Concepts: The Habit-Gap, Habit Chains, The Belief-Link, Limiting vs. Peak Life Habits, Master Habits in Operation
	Week 2 – Get Behind Your Beliefs This session will discuss how to develop awareness and understanding of the human Habit mechanism into the intention to play big and catapult beyond “almost.” By understanding how Habit-Stamps play a key role in feeding your Limiting Habits, you will be able to deconstruct your deepest and earliest assumptions in order to create new Peak Life Habits. Key Concepts: Habit Stamps, The Beliefs beneath the Habit-Stamps, The Top 15 Self-Sabotage Habits
	Week 3 – Interrupt Your Destructive Patterns This is the session about Pattern Interrupts. Since our Habits determine our successes and failures, and we desire different results, then the surest way to achieve our dreams is to Shift our Habits. Pattern Interrupts are how we do this. So we are going to take a look at two interrelated links: the Belief-Link and Action-Link, exploring the idea that our deepest Beliefs don’t have to govern our Actions and that by taking new Actions we can pave the road for new, positive Outcomes. Key Concepts: Pattern Interrupts – Belief Focused, Action Focused, Outcome Focused, Habit Focused
	Week 4 – Now, Shift Your Habits Session 4 takes you deeper into power of Pattern Interrupts with strategies to help you make the most of these tools for success. You are not just putting band-aids on your life – you are going in deep to profoundly Shift the way you are in the world. Great things will start happening seemingly by chance. Key Concepts: Seeing it Through: Faith vs. Optimism, The Secret: Discipline and Persistence, Shift Happens!, Passion is a Destination – Not a Driver
	Week 5 – Listen To What You Are Really Saying With the words we speak, we open doorways of happiness, wealth and achievement. Or we close the doors and die unfulfilled, haunted by regrets. Words are that powerful. The language we use to observe the world is a crucial piece of the energy we bring to our desired Outcomes and the Actions we take. In this session, we’ll talk about shifting our Language Habits as part of our ongoing journey toward reclaiming power in our lives. Key Concepts: Your Internal Voice, Limiting Language Subdivisions, Nice Try shifts to Nicely Done
	Week 6 – Inspire Your Life With Self Talk This is all about Intention, What are you intending to create in your life? What are you intending to achieve? What is your place and purpose? These are the questions to answer. So your first Action is to create a deliberate, clear thought about what you want. When success is within your reach – you can engage in very powerful, important, encouraging conversations inside and outside your mind that let you reach the peaks in your life. Key Concepts: The Six Steps of Shifting Limiting Language, The Three Positive Results Language Litmus Tests, Shifting to Vocal Inspiration
	Week 7 – Infuse Your Life With Right Action Success structures are the means to break through our Self-Sabotage Habits, the ones that pull us down on Monday morning and trap us in sameness. The goal of this session is to confront the brutal facts of our real lives, keep speaking about ourselves and our goals in a way that enables success, and make structures in our lives that create ongoing, even greater successes. This is the keystone of the Law of Right Action. It will let us transfer the Peak Life Habits methodology off of these pages and into your life. Key Concepts: The Top 15 Right Action Habits, Inspiration Comes from Discipline, Time Management, Distraction/Interruption Tips
	Week 8 – Schedule for Greatness Mastering a new level of attention to scheduling is often the missing link to happiness, great results and productively staying organized and in Action, no matter how much there is to do. Habitually Great power scheduling blends Right Action Habits and success structures. Key Concepts: Habitually Great Power Scheduling, The Simplest & Most Effective Task/To-Do System, Reverse Timeline Scheduling
	Week 9 – Close Your Escape Hatches We will examine some of the common loopholes that can distract and interrupt the road to success. Where do you waffle and wiggle? Where do you self-sabotage, lose your motivation, bump your head up against a figurative wall? Also, you will find some Right Action tools that can get you back on track when your Limiting Habits take the wheel. Key Concepts: Lock Down The Seven Escape Hatches and Squash the Wiggle, How Long Does it Take To Create or Change A Habit?, Breaking The Success Ceilings, Pre-emptive Visioning
	Week 10 – Master Habit Wisdom The final session of the book study is a launching pad to the goals and aspirations of your life! From this vantage point you have the power in each moment to circumvent any Habit that attempts to take over your thought processes and control your Actions. You have the skill and wherewithal to immediately insert and Shift to the control and authority of a Peak Life Habit. You are ready to apply Right Action. You run your Habits! Anything and everything you’ve ever wanted for your life is now within your reach. Key Concepts: The Seven Practices of Habitual Greatness, A Habitually Great Life Harnesses Power vs. Force, Habit Wisdom

Picture this: You wake up in the morning and that litany in your mind begins…

MFWeinstein — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:44:30 +0000

Picture this: You wake up in the morning and that litany in your mind begins: “Oh gosh, I should have done this, I’ve got to do this, I need to do that.” Whoa, you’re tired when you get out of bed just from those initial thoughts! That doesn’t make a lot of sense. And yet those are the Habits – more specifically, the Language Habits – that run you.

Welcome to Burden Language, the language that stresses us out with the pressure of all that we tell ourselves there is to do. It thrives in phrases like “I have to,” “I need to,” “I should,” “I must,” etc. and you can probably feel its negative energy, pressure, tension, and struggle in your muscles. This is exacerbated by the fact that there is no committment to complete anything that you say that you “need,” “should,” or “must” do. It all hangs in the air as “not being done.”

Now is your time to go beyond these Language Habits with the Habitually Great 10-Week Webinar Book Study

Is there anyone you’ve tried to change lately? How’s that working?

MFWeinstein — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:00:20 +0000

We humans have a rather funny tendency to blame or attempt to change the people around us when things aren’t going according to our hopes – it seems easier than transforming ourselves. Is there anyone you’ve tried to change lately? How’s that working?

So let’s hold in our minds a truth about life, one of the big ones: we don’t have the power to change people. Parents, siblings, teachers – they just are who they are. Their stamps on our lives are inevitable, the good ones as well as the challenging ones, so no pointing fingers at Mom. No blaming your first grade teacher. No getting stuck in the “Victim Habit.” The only true source of power comes when you turn your finger around and point it at your own chest, accept the habits that manifest in your life today, and then make choices about how and who you want to be tomorrow, next week, and next month.
