This week’s GoalChat was on Changing Old Habits – a nod to the movie Groundhog Day, rather than weather-predicting “purpose” of the holiday. I was joined by author Kee Kee Buckley, Seeking Shama; mind methodologist Leslie Marsh, and Troy Sandidge, Founder, Strategy Hackers®. The trio talked about their experiences with change – along with the aha moments that led to them.
They also shared plenty of insights, inspiration, and motivation to help people deconstruct old patterns, identify what brings them joy, and start embracing change.
What is a Habit?
- Kee Kee: Labeling yourself as one identity (career) even though it was not who you feel you are
- Troy: Something you do subconsciously. Once you are aware, it becomes a choice
- Leslie: A routine. Life is like a stream: the good habits keep you moving in flow, pebbles of doubt disturb flow, but it will smooth out again
Changing Old Habits
- Leslie: Belief is the secret to change
- Kee Kee: When you live life the way you want, you emit light that encourages others to do so
- Troy: You are the main character in your own story; embrace your mc-energy
Remember
- Troy: There’s more than one way to get where you need to go
- Leslie: Everyone is a catalyst, including you
- Kee Kee: Let the universe do its thing … and take action
Changing Old Habits #GoalChatLive
Goals
- Leslie: We weave the cloth of our limitations. Catch the negative thoughts, and put them to the side
- Kee Kee: Take her sticky-note challenge. Fill in the blank: “I welcome _____” and place the sticky notes with the reminder around your home.
- Kee Kee: I welcome a pause in each day
- Leslie: I welcome curiosity
- Troy: I welcome failure
- Deb: I welcome the spotlight
- Troy: Remember gratitude and laughter. If something bad happens, be grateful and laugh
Final Thoughts
- Leslie: Change is good! Go with it
- Troy: Remember who you are. List what you have achieved
- Kee Kee: Give yourself permission to be someone different from what you have always been … if that’s what you want
