Have you ever asked yourself why intelligent people let bad habits keep them from living happier and healthier lives? We live in a world where 30-second commercials offer instant solutions. We shouldn’t be surprised when easy solutions don’t work. There are no magic bullets, no quick fixes on the path to lasting change. People are overwhelmed with options today. It’s beginning to seem that the more solutions there are, the harder it is to find one that works. Programs that promise easy change fail because they gloss over the necessary stages that people have to go through for lasting change. People who regain more weight than they lost by following the latest fad diet are victims of programs that ignore the need for a lifestyle change. Many people have learned the hard way that lasting change is only possible when you have the right information. New Year’s resolutions usually fail. They don’t work because people jump into them without the right preparation. Most people make New Year’s resolutions when they wake up with a hangover - or with a few extra pounds weighing them down. They haven’t done the necessary preparation to have a fighting chance to be successful. It’s no wonder so many people give up before January is over. …Anyone can change, but only if you have a compelling reason to change and have the right strategy to guide you. The first step is to get unstuck. Many people spend years telling themselves that they’re going to change “one day.” They spend years worrying about the problem instead of working on it. Maybe they’re waiting for the “perfect” weight-loss program, the “perfect” smoking-cessation program, or the “perfect” time to stop drinking. “I’ll change when the time is right.” How many times have you heard that one? Many people are never able to make a serious commitment to change, even though their life depends on it. Even good change threatens our sense of security. When you’re used to something, the thought of losing it can cause you to panic and get stuck where you are, no matter how much you have to gain by changing. Your capacity to shift your focus from the past to the present is the key to breaking bad habits. You can’t make a decision to change as long as you’re still focused on the past.
