The Process Of Change - Acceptance Formula

OUR BELIEFS

Beliefs are developed over the course of our lives and determine our destinies. Beliefs formed during our formative years tend to be the strongest and most persistent. The more emotion we attach to an experience, the more likely it is to form a belief. This emotion gets internalized and gets taken into the future in both our conscious and unconscious mind. Since we put more emotion into negative experiences, they often become our strongest beliefs and are most resistant to change. Experiences can be internalized on three different levels, emotional, cognitive and experiential. When all three are at work, the internalization of the resulting belief becomes profound. The emotions that attach to the event influence the meaning we give to the experience. This meaning underpins the beliefs which influence our behavior patterns that usually repeat over and over again in our lives. These behavior patterns can be positive or negative. An unwanted negative pattern can only be changed by changing our thoughts.

THE PROCESS OF CHANGE

The process of meaningful change includes the following:

1. Awareness of the unwanted behavior patterns, habits and attitudes.

2. Understanding how the patterns were derived and how they manifest in our lives.

3. Taking responsibility for the beliefs along with the conclusions and decisions that have resulted.

4. Understanding the "pay off" we get from holding onto the belief.

5. Identifying the emotional triggers and limiting decisions.

6. Learning how to release the beliefs. For this to happen we need new words, thoughts, associations, decisions, choices and directed attention.

7. Visualization and imagination are important tools to create your new reality. Just as memory replays your past, imagination pre plays your future. Your imagination is your reality in the subconscious.

8. Learning alternative associations to short circuit the patterns and disengage from the emotion. Keeping a journal, controlling your inner critic and being accountable are all important parts of change.

9. If you can make the desired change about others instead of just yourself, the process becomes easier and more powerful.

In addition to the above, we all have an emotional thermostat that wants to return us to the comfort of our preset status quo based on our old beliefs. This thermostat is built on years of reinforcement and must be reset in this process. No wonder change is a challenge for us all.

The good news is that when our conscious beliefs match our unconscious beliefs, there is no stopping us. When this happens it is said that we are living life from the inside out. Put another way, we are living a congruent life. It is this congruency that allows us to fulfill our purpose, achieve our goals and be our very best.

Have a payoff for us. Understanding the payoff is crucial to changing unwanted beliefs. It usually defines why we can't change despite a conscious desire to do so. Understanding the payoff is the first key to unlocking why we are stuck. What we invest real emotion in gets internalized and is taken into the future. Beliefs are formed from learning something on three different levels: emotional, cognitive and experiential. When all three of these processes are activated, beliefs get internalized

Think of a Joe, a single man who spots a beautiful woman across a crowded room. When she looks his way she smiles and he returns the smile. He would love to meet her. It might even change his life. Instead he looks away and sits there frozen in his chair, incapable of taking action. Why? The conscious belief that he could take action, walk over to her, engage her in conversation and begin a relationship, is overwhelmed by his internal belief that it won't happen, what's the use, she will reject you in the end and you will look foolish to everyone here. Obviously, this scenario has played out before. By not even trying the pain of rejection is avoided and the ego is protected. This is the payoff.

I submit that you are in the same situation with your business as Joe was in that room. Perhaps you have been burned before. Invested in new ideas and techniques that sounded good but got you nowhere. If anything I have said has struck a chord with you, you owe it to yourself to take me up on my offer and join the Persuasion Formula while it is still available. If you want to change, I will not rest until you do and it becomes your daily habit. I will be your accountability partner in this process and will drag you across the finish line even if you are kicking and screaming. That is what is different about this program and why it will work for you.

Challenge Chance Not Change

If you want to be a creative genius eminent achiever then you will have to take risks, and you must be willing to take chances. My grandfather used to have a very good saying; "show me someone who has never failed, and I will show you someone who has not only never succeeded, but probably hasn't ever done anything at all." A creative genius eminent achiever is someone who changes the way things are done, and it is generally someone who thinks like a child, but grows up as the unreasonable man.

If you are unfamiliar with the reasonable man quote it goes something like this; "the reasonable man molds himself to society so he can fit in, the unreasonable man molds society to his view of the world." Now then, that's not the exact quote, but it's the way I see it, and what it means to me. And I must say to that line of reasoning and philosophical thought; I do agree. If you are afraid to fail, you cannot succeed, and you will never get from here to there, or accomplish great things in this world or the next.

You must challenge the unknown and challenge chance. You must not be afraid of change, rather you must welcome it. Failure is not an ending point, it is a starting point, that is to say; it is a point at which you can start to reflect, understand what you've learned, and take that new knowledge forward now you have new parameters to challenge. In my life I have had failures, but I never thought of them as such. Rather I chalked them up for experience, and moved on, realizing there was a lesson in there, something that other people had not learned, because they were too afraid to go for it - too afraid of failure that is.

There is a very good song by Mary Chapin Carpenter titled; "I Take My Chances," and there is a line in the lyrics; "I take my chances, every chance I get," and I hope that you will perhaps go onto YouTube and listen to that song, so you can better understand what I'm talking about. There are lots of lessons I have learned, that you may never learn, and there are many lessons you may never learn yourself because you are afraid to take those chances.

I would submit to you that you need to throw caution to the wind a little more often, and take a few more chances and learn what it takes to be the creative genius eminent achiever. Do something great, not only for yourself, but for the rest of humanity too. I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

How Do You Respond to Change?

People who take part in my three month With Life in Mind programmes often join because they've connected with my messages about taking care of their mental wellbeing following change and transition. From having a baby to dealing with retirement, from the break up of a long term relationship to recovering from serious illness, we all experience major changes at different times which can have a big impact for some considerable time afterwards.

The Change Curve

In workshops I often talk about the Kubler-Ross Change Curve because it illustrates how we typically go through different stages in response to change. Originally developed from research into the grief cycle by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the Change Curve really helps people understand that there is a process, and see how difficulties usually occur when we get stuck somewhere on that cycle and need some extra support or guidance.

Here's a very simple story to demonstrate how I went through all these stages in one day.

Last winter I woke up one morning to a thick layering of snow everywhere. I was due to travel over to the Isle of Wight from Portsmouth to do some research interviews. Once I got over the 'initial shock' I stayed in 'denial' that this was going to affect my plans for the day. I rang taxis, the ferry companies and bus services trying to find out how I could travel and eventually realised that nothing much was moving. I then felt very 'frustrated' - this meant I would lose earnings as I work on a freelance basis, and I couldn't understand why everything seemed to have come to a halt. Soon after that I became 'depressed' about the wasted day, I couldn't think what else I would do, it all seemed rather pointless and not worth the effort. After a while I did start to 'experiment' and try doing some other things, then I decided how I would spend the rest of the day and got on with it. By the end of the day I had 'integrated' the change - I was pleased with what I had achieved because if I had gone to the Isle of Wight I wouldn't have had the time to do it.

Now it is possible that I might have stayed in 'frustrated', 'depressed' or 'experimenting' mode for much longer. I could have spent the rest of the week feeling hard done by. If I had been feeling particularly vulnerable because of other much more serious changes I'd experienced, it might have left me feeling very low, dwelling on how I was a victim of circumstance and continually knocked back by life.

In this example I noticed how I went through the Change Curve in virtually text book fashion, and it helped me realise how continual the cycle of change is in all our lives. By understanding and working on our mental wellbeing, just as we do our physical health, we can strengthen our emotional resilience in dealing with change. And by noticing the signs of being stuck somewhere on that Change Curve, we can recognise when it's time to get the help and support we need to move on.

Applying of grow and Transtheoretical of behavior change to anger

The GROW Model (objectives, options, reality and way forward) and two very common and successful models in life and executive coaching framework used the Transtheoretisches of behavior change and behavior change interventions in General. This article examines their usefulness and how they anger management counselling sessions to be applied.

GROW model

To structure the model to the individual coaching sessions. For example, will, the coach with the question, what the Coachee or client their goals of meeting may be the session started. Then they will be their reality progress or where their lives currently in is. View options, and finally make some action plans (way) before ending the session.

TRANS THEORETICAL MODEL OF BEHAVIOUR CHANGE

The model States have that to make successful behavior change, you change to go through the following phases of the behavior. You are:

(1) Pre-contemplation. In this thinking not even you change about your behavior State. You are very happy with where is your life, with no thought of the change.

(2) Consideration - in the second phase of the behavior change - have you also thought to change your behavior, but decided against it. You have the back and looked at cons and decided that the pros do not change their behavior the disadvantages outweigh that change not your behavior.

(3) Preparation - in the third stage you have consciously made efforts to change your behavior. You realize that it is important for you to do so. The pros of you change behavior far outweigh the disadvantages. They have a plan and are now about to execute it.

(4) Action - during the day, to oblige you to action. You agree that your behaviour change in any way.

(5) In the final stage maintenance - change the behavior, you have been entering in your new behavior of medium to long-term.

APPLYING THE TWO MODELS ARE ON ZORN MANAGEMENT CONSULTING

People come to anger-management advice, because there are some behaviors that they need to change. Typically, this behavior is behavior outbursts of anger or domestic violence.

The Transtheoretical Model of behavior change can as a general overview for anger management advice sessions are being used. Say you sessions has committed to such the person to 6 advice. The therapist may assess that person change phase of behaviors and arrange to get as quickly the process to you as possible to the level of 5.

The individual advice, the GROW framework is especially useful meetings. The therapist can GROW model to structure each session. For example:

(G) Oals - identify, what is the client target for the session. For example, they should understand where their anger by has come.

(R) Eality - identify what is their current reality. For example, it can be good, you ask, has about what impact their behavior on their family and work colleagues. Or how poorly they think that their anger is?

Are o ptionen - what various things which they need to keep in mind? For example, it can be good to get, they to think about how they can be more assertive, or how they internally with can handle their anger strategies through mindfulness.

(W) ay forward - what the person can do certain things, to fix their anger, before it gets out of control? For example, they can determine that they need to treat problems before they get out of control. This can by created action plans.

It is also important to check for the therapists at the beginning of each session to action plans from the previous session. This helps show the customer that they make progress and change their way through the 5 stages of behavior.

Signing process.

Do you know what is a way of thinking? Do you know what is a change of mentality?

Have you asked ever the question - what is actually a way of thinking?

I hear "think the word" is used a lot, not only with my corporate clients, but also with my students and I always ask this question "What is a way of thinking"? Not many people can tell me what is a way of thinking. A lot of people talk, but no one can tell me what it is. If we do not know what a way of thinking is how we can ask the question, then, what is a change of mentality?

So, I decided one day, the term "think" to explore. I literally went through dozens of books and dozens of sites on the Internet.

So we walk through some dictionary definition first.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines as "they established set kept by someone attitudes" mentality.

Help me not.

So I tried Wikipedia,

'A number of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more persons or groups of people, that is so determined that it creates a powerful incentive within these individuals or groups to adopt or take previous conduct, decisions or tools'.

Note that both definition contains references of the past, 'produced set of settings', 'obtained' and 'prior practices'.

But you and I not this at all help. I can after weeks and months of thinking about this, saying I've decided, my own way to explain what a way of thinking is to create.

This is what I think, what is a setting

Imagine that you and a friend planning from point A to point B Travel 500 km is. Imagine that you bus travel and your friend with the train is travelling. 2 Modes of transport.

What makes them different?

If I ask my students this question, they come with the normal responses

'Comfort'

"Security"

Enjoy '

'Speed'

' Preis

and so on.

You can get something similar with. Think again. What are the other differences between these 2 modes of transport?

If you guess the road and the train track, then you are on on the ground.

You see, the train can only travel where there is a train track. It may not be different. It must remain on it. There is no such thing as reverse, unless, of course, that a track which turns around. If the train's get on the track, which can go in one direction. Is it not very flexible?

But the bus is different. Certainly there are on roads, where the bus can travel, but the bus is much more flexible than the train. There are many many ways to get you on the highway or the coastal roads the roads can or to a specific objective.

What is important to note is someone else in the past to build a specific route here when it comes to the train, and the best way from point A to point B is based this way had to on what they know at this time. The streets are different. We started with single carriage way and someone else would then build a dual carriageway then some years later, someone would create a highway. Who know what they would build in the future?

Why is this happening? It occurs because the requirements of the movement of the infrastructure at that time can no longer be maintained.

It is the same for us. There are many things we do now, that is, does not support our goals or the changes that we want to make in our lives.

So why do it the way, how we do it? One of the reasons why we do the things we do and the way we is, since that was the way it has done and as a result of "Education" we do not doubt mentality, it and we will not be changed.

And that's what is a setting. We have the way of thinking as the train, we will always think that this is the only way to do it, or this is the only way to get there.

If we are like the bus, we are constantly searching for another way, a better way so that we can get where we go.

When we talk about change of mentality, it is really about, from the train and bus. Maybe one day it goes therefore, from the bus and at a level.

Learned when compared to students

So for me, there are really two types of mentality, which I have developed as my way of life over the years. There are scientists mentality (which is on the train) and the mentality of students is about to be on the bus.

A scholar thinking says that there is nothing more to learn. This is the kind and way it is. That there are no better way to do this. I think that you can imagine quite a bit, that this is not the best recipe for growth.

A learning mindset says, that way we do, there is always a better way to do things. What we know, there's a lot we don't know. No matter how good we are we can do better.

The point of my article is that I would like to make a proposal, we no longer talk about change of mentality, how it does not much help.

We talk about the change of a scholar way doing things and a Lerner way of doing things. Then we can things done.

What is the best way of learning to change not only a learner? That it deserves an article on its own. In this article I shall leave you with some questions, to questions. By you can start these questions move from not only a student learned:

You, you see three things every day, you, that you are doing ImproveCan can think of someone else know what you want to do and to see if there are things that you ThemThink can learn three things, that it well and you are questions, I can do at this great to be doing

So happy to think and learn happily. Listen to talk someone about change of mentality, questions the next time you him, "what do you mean head and how do you change it"?

By my note thanks for dropping. I hope that you read some distinctions can take. These ideas and thoughts come from my soon to-be published book reactivate your life - how to make changes and achieve everything you want in your life. For more resources, see Reza Ali Web site.
