Current Understanding of Personal Transformation
My current understanding (as of July 2021) of personal growth and change.
I remember asking my business mentor about what I should be focusing on as I built my coaching business. I had all these big ideas - a blog, a podcast, workshops, etc.
He said, “what would you do if you could only work on this business one hour per day?”
And for me, there were really only two things:
I would focus on actually doing the work - coaching.
And I would also focus on becoming the best coach possible.
As part of becoming even better and understanding how growth actually works, I’ve recently made a map of my current understanding of it (see above).
The things this map centers around the ACTIONS <--> BELIEFS <--> FEELINGS triad (the basis of CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Theory).
Your actions lead your beliefs, your beliefs lead your feelings, and your feelings lead your actions. It’s a circle, and it can either be a virtuous circle or a vicious cycle.
Today, we discuss a few things including:
My new (most compelling) reason to be pulling on both the reality lever AND the perspective lever if you’re trying to make yourself happier.
The right way to approach yourself when you’re feeling stuck.
Join us this week as we discuss this and more.
